| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? FWIW I think golden ear speakers are great. I respect them a lot. I just don’t think they’re giant killers, or necessarily punch substantially above their weight (price) at all (very few speakers actually do). | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? Ignorance is bliss. Truly. | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height I highly recommend a pair of Gaia isolation feet for the Sopras to also possibly help your soundstage height a bit. | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? gdhal: that means nothing. Sandy Gross is the ultimate wine & dine and marketing master when it comes to reviewers. They’re not bad speakers, but if you’re ever going to be skeptical, be skeptical about anything he touches, review wise. | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? So the ability to essentially boost the bass in speaker on the Triton reference is likely what is making you prefer it for rock music — which a lot of is recorded pretty thin. Is that what I’m gathering? | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response I don’t recommend the 948 because they are extremely difficult to get to sound right. You likely heard a bad setup, but I don’t blame them — they’re extremely hard to set up.I think the 936 is an absolutely superior sounding speaker. | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response As far as Revel goes I would absolutely not agree with what you said and those have not been my findings at all.As far as Aria updates, none in sight. I was told that Focal supposedly has a real wood version of the Arias coming, which is why they... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks the LS50’s sound anywhere near the Persona B... Speechless. | |
| Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio I've heard all extensively, and I'd say Persona for sure. There is something special about having the exact same material mid and tweeter as on the personas. Once you spend a lot of time with them, you start to realize how much of an advantage t... | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening JL Audio E110 or E112 (not fathoms) are my recommendation. Especially if you can use the crossover. | |
| Designer audio video.com Absolutely not worth it. Very shady business. Surprised they’re still around. | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II I too was confused by the difference in price between the 3F and 5F. Seems nonsensical, but I asked Paradigm and they basically said they are selling the 3F for very little profit to hit the magical $10k price point. I can see where they’re coming... | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts You’re suggesting that the audible difference you’re perceiving is due to the guy in the video suggesting it is happening? .... | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts It’s very noticeable. Check out this video and you can even clearly hear the difference. https://youtu.be/wHi5ld81nec Starts at almost exactly 5 minutes in.They’re kind of expensive, but they’re the best “tweak” ever in Audio. If you believe i... | |
| Confused! I’m confused — why not just get the Elac UB5? |
