| BAT VK-300x Also interested in comparisons versus the Luxman solid-states - the 505, 550, 509, etc.. | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Knownothing - "You may be better off from a sound quality standpoint to pay for more expensive internal parts in a lower output amp." This is exactly what I'd been thinking and I took a look at the links you posted. You mention Ayre and Naim, but ... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Guys - sorry I've been out of pocket the past day - was scrambling to head off for vacation and now I'm on it! Knownothing - thanks for all those great monitor suggestions - you've given me hours of material to investigate and look forward to repo... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Hmmm. In light of the big-screen TV analogy, I guess that's why these Ohms are reputed to require high-quality amplification... anybody have any thoughts on an ideal amplifier for these things? Are there amplifiers that are particularly well-suite... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? So, given that the Gallo 3.1s are more wide than omni directional like the OHM, is the image thrown by the OHM indeed larger than the Gallo 3.1 - the proverbial 10-foot-wide singer's mouth? When I auditioned the Gallos, I was sitting about eight f... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? On the subject of the omni-directional sound - I did get a chance last week to audition some Gallo 3.1s, and it seemed to me that the sound of guitars and drums and such was very "up close" but nevertheless there was stereo imaging - guitar on one... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Thanks Goatwuss - I have actually auditioned a number of monitors, and was distinctly underwhelmed. But admittetdly, none of these were auditioned in conjunction with a subwoofer - kind of amazing in retrospect that the dealers didn't suggest that... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Hey Mapman - looks like we were typing at the same time again - you actually bring up the other key concern I have about the Ohm MWTs... I've read concerns about the phasing, as well as the image size being oddly gargantuan... when you say they ma... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? And BTW - I have looked into all of the monitor suggestions thus far - the Triangle Titus, the Sierra 1s, the Mark and Daniels - and some of the reviews sound great. But the reviews and testimony in general does seem a little thin versus some of t... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Thanks Mapman - looks like you responded while I was typing that last post... I think you may have inspired me to give John at Ohm a call and see what he says... but still very curious to hear from any monitor fanatics, of course... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? I guess I should add that another reason I've never seriously contemplated monitors on stands is that the setup never struck me as ideal soundwise - for example the idea of two monitors sharing a single subwoofer sounds like a muddled compromise b... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Thanks All, some more great food for thought here.I'm definitely intrigued by the Ohm MWTs at this point. But there's another factor that I guess I've tried to ignore up to now, but which is potentially significant: there's a chair in the left cor... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Goatwuss - after getting all fired up reading through the thread on the Ohm Micro Talls, the idea that only bookshelves will work with my room is an idea I hate to face!On monitor/bookshelves, I guess my main concern is - will I require stands to ... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Hi All,Just a quick note to say thanks for these great responses! I'm going to study each and every suggestion tonight after work - at first glance they all sound really interesting. Meanwhile, I figured I'd try to condense and refine my questions... |
