| Audiophile Active Speakers? I remember hearing active horn speakers from a European company called EARO a few years ago. I thought they sounded pretty darn good. | |
| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? I do not know what you mean by "powerful", but I really enjoy my Larsen 8 speakers. I had borrowed a pair from my local dealer and my wife actually liked the way they looked! She says that they remind her of plant stands.http://www.theabsoluteso... | |
| Best near wall high end speaker I am extremely happy with my Larsen speakers. I originally purchased a pair or Larsen 6s and later upgraded to the larger 8s. These speakers are designed to be placed right smack against the wall and sound great. The 8s extend down to 23Hz and lis... | |
| Speaker suggestion for Pass Labs Int-150 If you need full-range speakers that can be placed right against the wall, I would give John Larsen a call and ask him to recommend his nearest dealer to you. John is located in Skillingaryd and his phone is 370 70 900.I own two pair of Larsens, a... | |
| Small room; Audio Physic Scorpio or WB Trinity?? I use a pair of Larsen 6 speakers in my small listening room. They are simply amazing. | |
| ESL's to Monitors IMO the KEF LS50 speakers, while excellent for a small room, do not sound at all like any electrostatic speaker I have ever heard. But they are nice bookshelf units.I recently purchased a pair of Larsen 6 speakers for my smallish listening room. T... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Lewm, I don't know about the Dais or Anna Log. I never saw one of these decks. I have owned a Nottingham Horizon SE and later a 294, and from what I saw I would say the Pear Audio Blue turntables looked much better made. The fit and finish was cer... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Lewm, I don't actually know if Nottingham Analouge is still in business. I was assuming that Tom Fletcher's original firm went out of business after Tom passed away in 2011, but that may be incorrect. According to their website, Pear Audio Analoug... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm I was impressed with the Pear Audio Blue turntables I saw at the recent Newport Show. They remind me of the old Nottingham decks, but the distributor claimed that they have improved materials and better construction.There is a new model, the Robin... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Frazeur1,My Larsen 6s are in the living room, which is approx. 17 1/2 x 30. There speakers are placed approx. 8' apart, on either side of a fireplace which is in the middle of one of the long walls. The main seating position is a 10' long couch, a... | |
| Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help Johnnyb53,1- My wife's aesthetic sense is probably like the majority or wives: they don't have a problem with any speaker... as long as they can't see it. The Larsen's aren't quite that invisible but they are close. She says that they look like bo... | |
| Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help As posted on another thread, I just purchased a pair of Larsen 6s after seeing the brand at the Newport audio show last weekend. They are placed directly up against the long wall in our living room, and I absolutely love the sound they make. These... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Tim,Your timing was good. I just bought a pair of Larsen 6s and am in (audio) love. My living room never sounded so good. Almost as importantly, my wife loves the way that they look in the room, especially that they are right up against the wall. ... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall I am surprised that the Larsen speakers have not been mentioned. I just heard these at the Newport Audio show and was simply amazed at the sound. They are designed to be placed right up against the wall and are full range, the lower limit to 24 Hz... | |
| Benchmark or Antelope? I still own an Antelope Zodiac Gold and IMO it sounds wonderful and is brilliantly engineered. I use it as a passive preamp (via the volume control on the analog side) in my all digital rig. Having said that, however, it is really more DAC than I ... |
