| Which $500 Speaker Next? Without fail, in these discussions, someone recommends the Monitor Audio RS-6. Awful speaker. A muddy mess. | |
| Recommendation for audio rack? All advice appreciated. The Archetype seems excellent (got 5, combining with 2). I echo Riffler, Royal PITA to assemble, actually even with a level. Aside from leveling, not hard at all...oh, but my demand for precision (which of course is an illu... | |
| Primer reading for new Rogue Cronus owner? This is all super helpful - thank you for being patient with the novice. I am reading and learning voraciously! Can't wait for the amp to get here. Just starting from scratch, I also bought speakers today - Totem Sttaf. Impedance for this speaker ... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 20? Thanks for all the good feedback. After auditioning a whole lot of speakers in the $1000-2000 range, I ended up settling on the Totem Sttaf. The ML Motion 20s were a very close second place, though. My next big decision - speaker cable. Amp is a R... | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? Well, thanks to all for great suggestions. In the last month, I've gone to 6 different hi-fi stores, some 2 or 3 times. I've auditioned many - maybe most - of the suggestions here. It's so hard to compare apples to apples (different size rooms, di... | |
| Recommendation for audio rack? Thank you for the typically great responses - I purchased the Archtype 5, and also a 2, which I'll build into it to make it 54 inches. | |
| Recommendation for audio rack? Thanks for ideas. There are nice ones on Wayfair - VTI and Sanus, which are thick, tempered glass. The Salamander is also nice, and is wood. Is wood better - maybe in terms of damping vibration (a novice question, I know)? The VTI and Sanus state ... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 20? I should also reiterate that I'm starting from scratch - but, as of today(!), I'm the proud owner of a used Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp (not the Magnum, so it's just 55wpc). I think that's plenty of power, but maybe there are certain speaker... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 20? It seems no one wants to comment on this, or maybe people just haven't come across the Motion 20? I detect a skepticism from the Audiogon crowd about anything from Martin Logan that's not electrostatic. I'm put off by some of their marketing - it ... | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? Thanks for the reply. Agree. I listened to both the 20s and the 40s. I have a pretty small living room, so the 20s should do fine. Do you think these would pair well with either the Rogue integrated amps - Sphinx or Cronus (that's the direction I'... | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? Thanks for all the good suggestions. Wow, I've now tried quite a few different speakers. Fun but also stressful! I've tried B&W, Paradigm, Magnepan (few different models), Dynaudio X12, Audio Monitor RX6 (surprisingly underwhelmed), Vanderstee... | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? Wow, those do get great reviews, thanks. | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? Thanks for the ideas. How much are you selling the X12 demos for? |
