Hey, thanks soix. Those LSA’s Look very interesting. I see you promote them a lot. Have you heard them yourself? And just curious, is there any affiliation here?
2 Questions?
It has been pointed out to me by some posters here, that generally higher-end speakers are not so forgiving with poorly recorded music much of what seems to be 70 - 80's era rock.
Room treatments aside (and without cutting holes in my walls to vent my speakers outside as some have suggested).
I am looking for some advice from others about what speakers have worked well with this situation?
Currently running Roon Nucleus through a W4S 2v2SE Dac tethered to CODA CSiB V1 configuration
(150 w @ 8 ohm) integrated amp. $3,000 ceiling, give or take.
Second question: Is there a decent quality speaker switch that I could hook up to my amp to simply toggle between two sets of speakers? My amp has 2 speaker outputs on the back but no A/B switch to change from one set of speakers to the other.
I see there inexpensive switches offered that have limited power ratings (eg: 100 watts per channel). Are these sufficient for doing the job? Will these switches have a negative effect on sound quality? Thanks.

Hey Eric, Finally, have a bit of time to play with Roon, so by the "Lower One" you refer to in the Parametric EQ, that would be "Q" so set that to 5. Then the "Upper One" the "Frequency" at 100. How about the middle one "Gain" where do you suggest this to be set? Before bugging you I did Google this, but not a lot of information on this so it seems. Thanks for the suggestion & the help!

Thanks hshifi, Oddly enough I was running a pair of Goldenear ForceField 4 (10") subs which I sold. It seems, at least for 2 channel listen, my Martin Logan Spires with a frequency response of 29–23,000 Hz ±3dB along with the 10" woofer already on board, produced more than sufficient base. I am considering downsizing to either bookshelf or smaller floor stander which may lead me back to subs? |
Hey Soix, the JA Pulsars really do seem to stand out as a superior product, but as you suggest, a little pricey to say the least. The Statement's do look interesting though. I was wondering if you were aware of this product at all: http://bacheaudio.com/products/ His Tribeca-001's seem to have some good reviews (the white one, second picture down). Supposedly he is going to change the Dayton woofers for Eton Symphony's which is suppose to offer a huge SQ improvement? |
