| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Came here to post Paradigm Persona. Best midrange I've ever heard. Unfortunately 90% of people here have heard them in an apparently awful setup. They are very hard to position properly in the room, which I think is most of the problem. NOT ca... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' Yeah yeah... And Revel F208’s compete with 20k speakers, ELAC debut competes with thousand dollar speakers, Tekton DI competes with seventeen million dollar speakers, etc. If you actually paid any attention to what I was saying, you would understa... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' Owned them. Loved them, but I think there is a reason they were a complete flop. They were over priced. I have liked almost every Vienna acoustic speaker I’ve heard, and I’ve owned a few. The problem with them is that they seem like a company that... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @ricMaybe he doesn’t try to get you to sell your speakers because he realizes that’s really hard to do, and a daunting task in general. I’m sure he sells you stuff that’s high margin and/or easy to ship for little to no cost (cables!). How conveni... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Maybe. :) | |
| Paradigm Persona series Yeah, it seems like at times, companies just charge what they’d like to get for products with no relation to their cost.I think it’s a mistake all brands seem to make. Pricing things based on a nonsensical assumption that people will buy either wa... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? I haven’t heard them yet, but they’re not going to release a new speaker line without making sure they’re better than the Raidho lines. I’m sure they did lots of comparing with Raidhos they already had on hand. The only thing is since the Raidho t... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Yes they are. | |
| Why so many used focals? I don’t know of any dealer who will normally give a discount and completely remove it because they brought you some speakers. Are you 60 miles from the store or something?You are making some very foolish assumptions. Oh, and 30% off a speaker t... | |
| Why so many used focals? Everything you mentioned has been discontinued for awhile and are all on clearance. Also, you’re wrong about dealer cost, of course. | |
| Why so many used focals? philkoan: What body part do you pull those numbers out of? Even 20% off Focal speakers would be pushing it. I don’t know of a speaker line with a smaller margin. They sell through a distributor and do NOT have the same margin as other speakers . S... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Not at all. A friend just got them for his center and 5F fronts. They're super nice, and make no detectable difference in sound. They're stupidly expensive, but definitely the nicest grilles I've ever seen/felt. | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Every single E112 and E110 I’ve owned, and every one of my friends have owned, have all had their amps replaced. A few of them TWICE. I have moved on to the Paradigm Defiance X series (NOT the V series, those are not anything special) subs. They a... | |
| Why so many used focals? That is why the Kanta no. 3 exists. | |
| Why so many used focals? Music Direct has the Electra’s? If so, you’re listening to a speaker that has zero in common with any of the newer designs. Also, the listening rooms at MD are not good. |
