| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds I have the Luxman 595 Class A amp. I also have Yamaha AS-3200 Class A/B with the Yamaha rn-2000a as pre amp. The sound traits (to me): 1) Luxman 595 - Has a powerful meaty sound. Sounds a bit stuffy. Not very holographic. Sounds excellent for J... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? @georgeblue9 oh wow, have you already done this yet? If so, are you happier with the towers? Do you miss the superior imaging the bookshelves have over towers? | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? @mfili35 Here is the Focal 2s from Sound Sommelier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYNFLI9vMiE @jeffreyw @mfili35 I looked at the Kanta 3s and the Sopra 2s, but the Focal website gives room measurements and basically said my room was to small fo... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? @jeffreyw Thanks! But what about those low mids that Kantas 2 have? Won't the Sopra 1s be missing them? | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Luxman and Focal is a pretty nice combo....I'd try that before pulling the trigger on the MA12000. Not saying you won't enjoy it more, simply that I would do speakers then amp. Good luck. Thanks... in general do you prefer towers or bookshe... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? I have 2 amps... Luxman 595 Class A and Yamaha 3200. I run them separately, never at the same time. I switch out the plugs on my Sonus Faber speakers and plug the amp I am in the mood for. | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Thanks! This is my living room (please see link below for photo). I will be replacing the speakers you see with the green arrows. I typically listen to the music on the couch where you see the X. I know it’s not the ideal position for a audiophile... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? subs/sats will most likely sound better But wouldn’t the low mids freq be missing with the subs/stats that the towers would offer? From what I understand, subs play at a lower freq for slam and impact rather than filling those upper low freq t... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Lower mids and a sterile sound I meant the setup had excellent lower mids. It's making it hard for me to decide between the kanta 2s and the sopra 1s because I like the lower mids so much on the Kanta 2s. The sound was not sterile at all for... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I heard the kantas 2s on a Mcintosh 12000 at the hifi store. Those speakers had incredible bass. And it was not bright at all. It sounded so good I fell in love with it and I'm going to buy that setup. I think your problem is probably your amp bec... |
