| KEF R11 vs B&W 702 vs Golden Ear Triton 1.R vs? Spendor D7 sounds better than any of the above. R11 is metallic soundingTriton 1R is the best of your bunch but does not have top level transparency or driver coherence. B&W 702 lack refinement and can sound edgy. The D7s will sound phenomena... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage KEF LS50s and a pair of JL Audio D108 subwoofers. The point source, high polar dispersion of the LS50s will absolutely give you a 3-dimensional sound stage once they are properly positioned. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Speed is yet another quality that you may or may not want to prioritize in what you look for in a speaker. The Spendor D7 for example are a fast, nimble speaker. They have a good jump factor and respond quickly to slight changes in rhythm, a lig... | |
| Best speakers 5k 10 k Harbeth SHL5+. I am finished thinking about different speakers. Excellent deep bass definition, amazing midrange detail, realism and smoothness. Sweet airy top end without overdoing it. How Stereophile called these Class B is mystifying. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... @dromme different strokes i guess. i happen to love harbeth speakers. did you have the old version of the C7 or the latest version the ES3? regardless they have a polished rich sound that is not boring with the right amplifier, speaker placeme... | |
| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics the big thing I took away was how honest the reviewer was about the sound. you NEVER see this in "pro" or online amateur reviews. | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? a discounted pair of Spendor A4 floorstanders will do the job nicely. Spendors are the perfect blend of a fast, highly responsive speaker that doesn't come with any of the compromises associated with a high sensitivity speaker. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Those Joseph Audio Pulsars under $4K? Thread over. | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? unfortunately when it is all said and done we tend to get what we pay for more or less. not to say that a $7000 pair of Spendors sounds $6500 better than a $500 pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers - but we usually get better sound for the dollar a... | |

| How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish? I use a spray solution of water and murphy's oil soap, ~ 1/8 cup in a 32oz spray bottle, wiping with a soft plain kitchen sink towel. works great and is very economical. | |
| Spendor D7 The D7s are a brilliant speaker. Transparent and neutral that crosses over the thin line between forgiving and accuracy without being fatiguing! My my only grumble was that they take a very robust (e.g. 200 WPC) amplifier to deliver the best s... | |
| Hana SL vs AT Art 9 FYI the ML is $1200 and has a middling output (.4mv) that might be a less than ideal match for some phono preamps. it also has an aluminum cantilever. hearing it briefly it has a channel imbalance and sounded a little brighter than my preference... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? @gjohns info not valuable without describing the floor your speakers sit on. | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? My old stand mount speakers sounded excellent with high mass (filled) stands spiked through carpet to concrete floor. speaker resting on small high density, low profile clear rubber pads. Floorstanders also sound excellent spiked through to the co... |
