| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Roypan, pardon my ignorance and I don't know what "Fs" mean. But your earlier assertion about "nothing" seems misleading by itself.When I said low bass, i meant circa 20-25hz. In the orginal poster (Husk 01)'s room of 16' x 22', do you think Mini ... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Roypan, why nothing? Isn't it physics that a single 7" driver cannot deliver low bass? | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s If you need low bass, and you have a largish room, Mini II can't deliver. It is physics. | |
| High efficiency speakers Hi Jax2, your advice noted. I listened mostly to light classics and folks, and occasionally big scale music. My current room is only 10' x 14'. I have an opportunity to build a bigger one (perhaps 18' x 20'). The hi efficiency speakers are meant f... | |
| High efficiency speakers Amfibius, your Acapella speakers look very cool indeed. Aesthetics is important to me. While my little Kharma's are not perfect match for my soon-to-arrive SET amps, and have limp bass, at least my wife doesn't complain. If i brought in the Avanga... | |
| High efficiency speakers Jax2, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the Concident. My bias against side firing woofers is from listening to one of the models from Rockport. I heard less integrated bass, the same way some people would say about the rear firing woofers of ... | |
| High efficiency speakers Hi all, thank you for your suggestions. I have the Kharma 3.2.2s which are borderline efficient at 90dB and not getting the full benefits of the SET design from what I've been told, but probably Ok in my current smallish room. Going forward I am l... | |
| Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use? Thanks folks for your suggestions. The research is still on.I happen to read about the two-chasis Artemis Labs SP-1 stereo amp of 18W 300B based SET, which garnered high marks with the TAS magazine. Has anyone had first hand experience with this a... | |
| What speakers? Dan,I had the Maggie 3.6's for a few years. In my experience, I have not heard any cone driver monitors that sound like the maggies. Immediately you lose the scale and height of the images. Also the soundstage depth suffers. Of course the conventi... | |
| Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use? Hi Thorman, thanks for your suggestion. I am not familair with the Thor name but will look into it.Hi Argyro and Sirspeedy, I have the Lamm ML2.1 SET on my radar. But wasn't sure if its 18W can control a 90db speaker. Was wondering whether the Lam... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Mikelavigne,Not disagreeing with you abt the ceramic drivers. And I do know the Mini's don't use ceramic drivers. My post was to point out in my experience, all the Kharmas i have heard have never sounded "aggressive" compared to the Mini's. It wa... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s SirspeedyIn my experience, the Magico Mini sounded more aggressive than all the different Kharma's I heard, even grating. Perhaps due to partnering equipment. The Martens use mostly ceramic drivers too, and i haven't heard people say they sound ag... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s I have heard them all (your list), and now use a modest Kharma 3.2.2. The Amati is the one I would immediately rule out for MYSELF. I tried it out at home and found them highly colored for my taste. | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading PiedpiperWhen we say increasing loading we are saying using a higher impedence value (towards 47K ohm), right? or is it the other way round. My dealers always told me higher impedence means higher HF output and brighter sound. | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading Hi, I am new to analogue and intrigued by:"06-24-08: Gerardff I always assumed that increasing the loading would be better for me since it reduced HF output. What no one explained to me was it also reduces the bass and the overall signal output."C... |
