| Seeking opinions on PMC IB2 FWIW, I just bought PMC IB1 speakers (same form factor as the IB2) with 14" stands. One of the speakers is in the shop (buzzing bass driver... damn it!), but I set them up long enough to know that I wish I had 20" stands! I think that you'll want ... | |
| PMC IB1 and room size Mine will be 8' apart along a 12.5' wall, a solid 2' from the side walls. The front corners are treated with bass trapping and there is substantial broadband trapping at the reflection points, as well. I have a good feeling I can make it work! How... | |
| PMC IB1 and room size I think the DAC-1 won't be around too much longer. I really hope to try the Lavry DA10 soon. The DAC-1 is a good DAC, with excellent features for my setup, but my experience with Lavry converters is that they come closer to sounding exactly like t... | |
| PMC IB1 and room size Interesting. My chain will be Benchmark DAC-1 -> 4BST -> IB1sWhat's the address of that group? | |
| PMC IB1 and room size How would you characterize the improvement moving from ST to SST? | |
| PMC IB1 and room size Oh yes -- I want them for their clinical, revealing, painful-when-the-recording-sucks presentation. ;) I'll have to listen to lots of reference recordings to get a sense for how the bass is playing out in the room. I really only need it to sound r... | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? Regarding power... I wonder if my Bryston 4BST will be enough for these? | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? Appreciate the input! I'm not sure the 3.3s are even made anymore, so finding a dealer could be tricky. I'm looking, tho. I'm also looking into the Audio Physics line, as well, as they, too, have side-firing subs. That's a big part of the appeal o... | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? They can't go against the longer wall. I do have the room heavily bass-trapped, however, especially in the corners. And the trapezoidal shape helps tremondously with side reflections (which also have traps at the mirror points). I'd actually be ha... | |
| 140wpc into 8 ohms: enough for Contour 1.3SEs? What are some ideal amplifiers for these monitors? I don't want to get rid of the Hafler -- I like it's precise, clean, no-nonsense sound (not to mention I can't afford a new power amp AND the Dynaudios just yet!), but if something else would pair... | |
| 140wpc into 8 ohms: enough for Contour 1.3SEs? Thanks for opening my eyes to the obvious. D'oh.That's good news. I have a very small room, so I believe I'm set. |
