| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience Actually you ask if better build quality equates to better SQ. Not always. most of the products will be very well built in this price range. As I said, it's still all about synergy with your system which folks dont' seem to want to discuss. Yo... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Thanks Tomic. Dyna, I drove the Kitty Hawk from 82-87. | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee Tomic, great story. I need to get that first hand. You may need to call me on that one. The visual is just stunning, lmao. Yes, when set up properly the Maggies can get excellent, but personally I dont 'love the bass and no matter what folks te... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under helomech212 posts11-06-2017 1:20am^^ Thanks for the input guys. I might have to move my system into a 12×11 bedroom someday, where the 2Cs would be too much. The 1Cs are a bit on the small side for my current man cave, but so are the Spendors. If ... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! One things also stands out to me. Often when any of us talks about how great our gear is, we will talk about how great a reviewer thinks they are. Personally, I've known many reviewers over the years and some I respect and like. Even if my taste... | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee In this thread there are many who like the softer sound of PSB and some who like a livelier sound of many of the others. You need to go listen to some stuff and figure out what your flavor is. I've owned PSB for the bedroom system, but they didn... | |
| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience What is your budget? That's the most important thing in recommendations. I personally will have friends get the Codex DAC/headphone amp and have them run it directly to the amp unit they can afford a good preamp. The Chord Hugo 2 is another goo... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under I agree that the upgrade to the 2's is a good size one. Personally, the 2's is where Richards starts his magic in design. It's the base of the Vandersteen first order crossover and time and phase correctness. Yes, less smearing makes a huge dif... | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee This whole cat thing made me start thinking. You may not be able to get the sound that you want if the grills are a big deal. maybe you can. I think with Maggies, I'd be freaked out as the grill is the whole speaker panel. If the cat touches t... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under It's strange to me as RV is all about making a great sounding product that hits above it's price. He even does that his Treo CT on up. It's pretty amazing as I audition them all the time and I audition others all the time. I honestly haven't he... | |
| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience It all depends on what your budget is and what level you are able and want to play on. Digital is highly sensitive to power issues. It doesn't matter if it's a 500 Chord Mojo (I own one) that's battery run or my Ayre QX5 that has a power conditi... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Dave, I do own and love Vandersteen's. Doesn't make me a shill as all. Not even close. Stop bringing me into your conversations please. I am just a disabled/retired Naval Commander who's been in and around audio since 1969. Thanks | |

| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience Teh nice thing about room treatment can mean a well placed quilt or two on the wall, a couple of large plants (real or fake) in between teh speakers or in the corners of the room. Lot's of inexpensive and nice looking elements that will help the ... |
