| Which turntable should I choose? Thanks yogiboy. 1 response? Has this question been asked too many times before? | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I put granite slabs under my speakers, which are on a hardwood floor, and the sound did clean up noticeably. Best part about it was, the guy at the granite store gave them to me for free. | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? Donald Fagen - New Frontier off of The Night Fly album | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Dealer. I don't want to out them in case this is something they did just for me. | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound I’ve been living with the Innuous Zen Mini (no LPS) for about the last month. I’ve performed pretty exhaustive shootouts between the Mini and the Node 2. The presentations are different, but I wouldn’t say that one sounds better than the other. I ... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? @helomech I also had the Spatial M5 Sapphire for a few weeks and couldn’t stand them. They had none of the magic that the Vandy’s have. AND the speakers were damaged in shipping returning them to Spatial and Clayton put me on the hook for the cost... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? ok, I thought your room was 10x13. You should be ok then. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I may be in the minority here but I strongly prefered the Vandy 1ci over the 2ce in two rooms in my house that are similar in size as yours. I made the mistake of thinking bigger is bettter. I suspect if you go with the 2's, the bass will quickly ... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? @asvjerry "Dale Harder opined that my cones were too heavy, which I readily agreed to. The originals were 5 mil litho aluminum, which I got a sleeve of 100 sheets gratis from a friend 2 decades ago. Since I've moved on to 2 mil alum and titani... | |

| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? A couple people recommended the Vandersteen 2ce Sig II. I’ve had the 2ce and the 1ci in a small room similar to the OP, and I would highly recommend the 1ci over the 2. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? The Kef R3 plus a sub or two I think would work well. What are your other components? | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I would think due to room size and placement limitations that planars and OB would be out. The Ohm Tall 1000's could work and they offer a generous home trial period. I heard Wharfdale's Diamond 10.7 several months ago and thought they decent litt... | |
| What to buy? No one can possibly answer this question for you. They can only tell you what they like. There are literally hundreds of speakers in this price range.Where do you live? Do you have a dealer show room in your area? If so, I would set up an appointm... | |
| What should you hear? Another quick example is Oscar Peterson - Night Train. Oscar Peterson is mixed dead center, while Ed Thigpen is panned to the right speaker, and Ray Brown left. |
