Well, that certainly would explain all the flashbacks. 🤡
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
I have heard it half a dozen times at home, small room, Primaluna HP Integrated or a Rogue Atlas Magnum II and RP-1 Pre and believe it or not a pair of close to 30 year old Paradigm Export Monitors.
The experience I had, I can only describe as sitting in an aquarium when the litlle rectangular glass aquarium was filled with liquid engulfing you from all directions with no awareness of the speaker boxes...it was just perfect!
The room is approximately 12 x 13 x 9, small bedroom converted to a den!
So the question is what speakers does everyone recommend to provide the same experience?? I have a budget of $2000 for the next little babies so let’s not talk about Focal uber expensive stand mounts at $9500 thank you!
Monitor not floor standers and the Primaluna is gone, it’s all Rogue And yes, I would consider a pair of floor standers that are not to intrusive.

mapman From a technical perspective, streaming is a much more robust process than reading data of an optical disk (CD) in real time. All my CDs get ripped first right up front then streamed. Even off my smart phone in the car. I never "play" CDs anymore. The results are pretty much never as good as ripping. Not all CD players are created equal of course but they all face the same challenges. >>>>>Uh, I was addressing those who do play CDs, not people who don’t. |
I hate to rain 🌧 on anyone’s parade but no amount of room treatment can fix the horrible mess created by CD players, generally speaking. If anyone in the DC area wants to hear what a real soundstage sounds like - not the usual congealed, thin, projected, narrow, synthetic, digital, shrill, tepid, bland, disorganized one you’ve heard many times before and have got used to - make a beeline 🐝 to BWS Consulting in Arlington, Va. But don’t blame me if you decide to throw your whole rig in the nearest lake or change hobbies afterwards. An ordinary man has no means of deliverance. |
