| Vibration Control The main thing here is to audition it and see if you like the result. If you don't, return it. But why dismiss something out of ignorance. I've tried things where I liked what they did, and things that I didn't. I tried some Walker Audio brass/lea... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Well, either the speakers are settling in a bit or I am. I have noticed that certain frequencies can sound a bit harsh to my ears outside of listening to the speakers. My previous speakers didn't seem to exacerbate any hearing issues so it might b... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I already did. Not as good. It put the midrange/woofer drivers angled toward the floor (where there's a carpet and wood coffee table, and resulted in a less open midrange and less coherent with the top end. Tilting them upward is much better overa... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I also tried the Russian Tung-Sols originally supplied with the Pathos, and they're worse in the high end (brighter, brasher) and worse in the bass as well (tubby). I was playing my the UHQR 45rpm of Kind Of Blue, and oh, does it sound great. ... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Now that I've had the Monster Cable speaker cables in my system for a bit, I think they're certainly a better fit. There's still a bit of top end to be toned down. The thing with trying speaker wire is that I can't use standard lengths as I need 1... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I did replace the Grover Huffman silver speaker wire with the Monster Cable. It's definitely toned down the heightened top end. It's not as precise in the midrange as the Grover Huffman nor as fast, but it's not bad either. I might try to see if I... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I have a pair of Monster copper pair of bi-wired cables. They sound darker and a tad slower, but I’ll throw them in. I’m using a pair of 1960s Sylvania, which are an improvement over the Russian-made Electro-Harmonix that came with the unit. B... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile So in an update, I'm finding that the brightness, the exaggeration of certain upper frequencies can be lessened by other toeing the speakers significantly outward, or listening above the tweeter horizontal axis. As I listen in sort of a fixed posi... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I can try altering that a bit. I can tell you that the hardness when the music in the upper frequencies is dense can be heard from the other room. There's a difference between what's happening from the midrange on down, which is quite sweet. F... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile They're about the same place as the Edens. The Edens, however, were designed with the tweeter below and to the right of the woofer. With the Cantibile Jubile, the tweeter is pretty much on line with my ears. My sitting is done on the couch. Not mu... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile My amp is the Pathos Classic Remix, a tubed hybrid. Certainly not a bright sounding amp. The speaker cables are bi-wired silver Grover Huffman cables. Note that I didn't have this issue with the Castle Edens using the same equipment upstream. ... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile I received the Cantabile Jubile in great shape. The retailer said that there had only been about 20 hours on this demo pair. Thus far, I have about maybe 110 hours on it. The manufacturer encloses a little manual states that it suggests 50 hours ... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Thanks @jackd. In fact, they're arriving today (Tuesday). It has been a while since I've had loudspeakers in the room. I've been doing a lot of listening through headphones, but it's not the same. | |
| FYNE 502SP vs 702 I'd contact a Fyne dealer. I don't personally know, but knowing something about speakers and trickle-down manufacturing, designers take some of the features of higher end designs and use them eventually in lower cost models. The experimentation is... | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music Magnepans. I love planar speakers for their ability to recreate the soundstage, their boxless presentation with images hovering in front of you, and their transient quickness and agility. You need to have some room in front and behind them, add we... |
