| Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f I second the Anthem STR recommendation.AudioTroy will come in and say how much better the separates are. I disagree and think the STR is the far better value. I find the separates to be a little bright sounding in comparison to the STR. | |
| Klipsch Speakers, Where Should I Look For The Best PRices Look for stores with closeout deals on a pair of RF-7 II and matching RC64 II center. The new mkIII versions are now out so you should be able to save a lot on the discontinued model.Those will absolutely blow away what you have now for what you a... | |
| Vienna Acoustics The Music I’d take The Music over a Salon 2 any day. Not sure what VA speakers you heard, but if you need a speaker to play louder, you probably have bad hearing loss, or are expecting too much out of a speaker for the given room size. | |
| Speaker audition recommendations? Paradigm Persona 3F or Focal Kanta no2. | |
| Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD Focal Aria 906 on ISO Acoustic Aperta 200 stands would be my highest recommendation anywhere near that price point. | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? Absolutely do not go with that HSU for music. I had one and it’s a great sub for what it is, but it wasn’t exactly musical and tight. Sumiko would be a way better option. And JL a better option on top of that. Look for a D110 from JL. Simply... | |
| B&W 705 S2 or Elac Adante S-61 I’d absolutely go with the ELAC. Have spent a lot of time recently with the stand mounts. Really outstanding. Have little to no experience with the floor standers yet. | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices The fact that your impressions of the Kantas did a 180 is suspicious. Same exact setup? That’s... odd. They didn’t move them since you were last there? | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair Yes. I have heard them on lower end Yamaha receivers and they sound great. Also have heard them on an old old Onkyo receiver, newer anthem, and a higher end Marantz. All sounded great. (I have recommended these to several friends so have heard... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair Literally came in here to post Aria 936. Although many will will come in recommending their own speakers they purchased and love, I actually don’t even own them, and have huge amounts of experience with other speakers in the price range. Nothing... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Well he very obviously didn’t mean that if you read his posts. Also not sure what you’re talking about with female vocals. Never heard anyone mention that about Raidho speakers before. I don’t disagree with your recommendation of Vandersteens ... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Audiotroy: I want to respect you but you make it hard with posts like your last one. First off, it’s Raidho, which you have misspelled numerous times on numerous posts. Second... I am completely taken back by your continued mention of Raidho sp... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Focal speakers are not bright or forward. Anyone who says that is clinging onto old focal sound. Aria and Kanta are the LEAST bright or forward speakers they have ever made, and are considerably more laid back than a lot of popular speakers ment... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? So you weren’t that impressed until you changed the speaker cables out? Care to go into more detail? | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? That doesn’t sound good. They should sound 90% of what they will sound like broken in.... no impressions yet? |
