| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair Spendor D7.2 or Perlisten R5t ultra coherent driver integration with superb sound stage spaciousness and definition. runner up Philharmonic BMR towers | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Philharmonic BMR monitors or towers. exceptionally clear midrange and wide dispersion in all frequencies make the soundstage spacious and well defined. | |
| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle @kjl1065 the voltis and jbls are sound choices with subwoofers because they have decently high low frequency cutoffs and should integrate well. the O/96 play too deeply and have lots of port output which makes sub integration challenging if not... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room A speaker can easily be too big for a given room size. Larger taller speakers with more drivers are made for higher volume SPL capabilities to satisfy listeners in a bigger room. Often this requires a minimum distance from the speakers to the li... | |
| Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer? good choice, hammer them for the best deal. | |
| Best Tubes for Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Magnum @flyfish77 Brent Jessee does not have a retail office where you can buy tubes on site. I have had several Rogue Audio products before and I suggest that the stock JJ tubes not be so quickly dismissed. With the cronus magnum the amperex pream... | |
| Is More Better? @janewyman what are your approximate levels on your current subs? the reason i ask is that if they are on the low side of the range, adding two more subs could over power your room. I assume that for music you do not want to increase the re... | |
| Single way or multiway @bache Gauder is not doing anything unusual- basically three way designs with near infinite slope crossovers. Joseph Audio also uses infinite slope high order crossover designs. The main reason for this is that certain speaker drivers and dr... | |
| KEF R3 META or Dynaudio Special 40? @roxy54 @rutlanda Sorry for the mistaken edit above. My favorite sounding speakers in this price range are the BMR Philharmonic monitors. I liked their sound so much at AXPONA, I listened to them for quite a while- Even when driven by mo... | |
| Single way or multiway It depends on what your listening priorities are. Each are capable of delivering high end sound quality with the right application and supporting system. Edit- there are very few truly single driver speakers on the market. | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @larsman sweet speakers and amplifier! i suggest my current preamp- the two chassis Cary Audio SLP-05 if you want a truly spatial sound stage. no matter which amp I have used with it over the years it never fails to deliver a huge top to b... | |
| Replace Rogue Cronus 3 with Rogue Pharoah 2 or HiFi Rose rs520 or suggestions @dylanfan The Rogue Cronus Magnum I, II and III are very nice sounding amplifiers but sound best with much higher efficiency speakers than your Magnepans. Your speakers per spec recommend no less than 100 WPC at 4 Ohms. The Rogue begins clip... | |
| Speaker choice @starystarynite Check out Spendor A7. Spendor delivers the dynamics of horn speakers with the refinement of box speakers and a huge, well defined sound stage. Like listening to a fireworks display or kaleidescope. Very enjoyable speakers. | |
| Has anyone here set up a system with tiered subwoofers handling different bass spectrums? @eddnog How does it sound when you cross the KEFs at say 80 Hz? Most likely the distortion comes from the enclosure and not the drivers. I had the original LS50s and thy sounded excellent in the bass department because they have a natural hig... | |
| Tannoy or Volti @kennyc After hearing both DeVores and Volti Audio my impressions are that the DeVores are more neutral but with a touch of bass bump and cabinet resonance warmth (I have a pair of O/93 incomming). The midrange and treble are much more neutral ... |
