| Small monitors for a dear aunt The Blue Circle would be a GREAT choice. I've not heard the Titus, but if they're half as good as the hype, then you probably couldn't go wrong.I would also recommend finding a pair of Spica TC-50s. It's a sealed enclosure, so no problem with bass... | |
| Talon Khorus x or B&W 802 Hey Mike,Just want to compliment you on the very professional manner with which you handled, not only your initial response to this post, but your subsequent response to Xenon101's irrelevant post. The guy's only responded to 14 threads and is cle... | |
| Babyproofing Stand-mounted speakers Sounds like a reasonable solution. | |
| Met Richard Vandersteen today Green Mountain Audio Speakers are also time aligned. Their designed Roy (last name escapes me) is also very clear about the fact that there are FEW truly time-aligned speakers. In conversation he mentioned Spica, Vandersteen and Thiel although I'm... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Platinum Audio. Several years ago, I set out to find a new pair of speakers to replace my old Boston Acoustics T-1020s with a budget of $2K. I visited no less than 5 high-end audio boutiques and listened to all of the usual suspects (B&W, Mart... | |
| "RECORDING OF THE WEEK"????? GREAT thread! Thanks Gumby! Let's keep this one going. | |
| Balance control vs. Speaker placement If room treatments won't solve the problem (or are impractical from an aesthetic standpoint), then it seems like the balance adjustment is your best bet.I would NOT adjust the speaker placement in such a fashion that the speakers are unequal dista... | |
| Recommend speakers For your tastes, room size, associated gear and budget, you simply cannot do better than a used pair of Vandersteen 2CE or, if you're patient, even the Signatures. (A pair was just listed today for $1,000 exactly.)*Disclaimer, I don't own, sell or... | |
| "Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon A search or even a "sort" by price for classifieds would be outstanding!As for requiring a search in the forums, I think the better solution would be for AudiogoN to come up with an FAQ section for each category. This would be much more user-frien... | |
| Am I going insane? I have to agree with Inscrutable here. I would not rule out a very nice receiver in your search. Pre/pro is a nice way to go too, but I would hazard to guess that you could to MUCH better by purchasing a high quality receiver (NAD, Marantz, Onkyo ... | |
| Reducing my effective room size You don't mention the height of the ceiling, but if it's a standard 8-10 feet, I can't see why your PSBs wouldn't perform well in that room (provided you've got adequate power). Stratus Golds aren't exactly small (sonically speaking) speakers. Par... | |
| Am I going insane? Here we go...The B&W faithful (is it a cult?) are gonna' come out of the woodwork and tell you that what you really heard was the speakers revealing how poor the rest of the upstream components were. If you were listening to the Nautilus serie... | |
| Speaker Stands For the Sonus Faber Concertinos Congratulations! They're a perfect match for the Concertinos and are beautiful to look at to boot!Best wishes,Dan | |
| Want speakers for 700 but none sound good. TC-60 is another great alternative, however, I didn't want to recommend it because I had gotten the impression that Panagas was trying to avoid the used market.I actually just received my pair of TC-60s yesterday and had a great time listening to ... | |
| Want speakers for 700 but none sound good. I too, am in a small room of almost the exact same dimensions as yours (11X12x8). I've tried a number of speakers with varying results.I should emphasize what Lthkeepr mentioned regarding bass ouput. Full-range speakers may be tempting and may sou... |
