| Monitor Audio RX6 I tried responding to this 3 times at work..must not like that computer...I don't know your speakers, but the 'brightness' tendency you read about is real. Yamaha is that way. I had a Yamaha AVR running a Yamaha outboard amp, powering Infinity Spe... | |
| PSB Imagine T opinions..and how they fare vs Focal Yes, those are the T. The T2 is, imho, the 'sweet spot' of bang for buck. Side by side with the Synchrony, there is a difference, but $2K better??? Tough call. The $1500 extra for the T2 over the T is easier to hear. I haven't pulled the trigger y... | |
| Filling Room s with Sound So are you saying the room with the 2 higher end speakers for mains has a different sound than the room where all speakers are the same, with electronics being the same? You're interested in discussing these differences in 'effect' between the two... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with PSB Speakers The Imagine T2 towers are probably the 'sweet spot' in terms of bang for buck. $3500/pr. I have listened to them back and forth with the Synchrony 1's, and yes the $5500 Synch's are better, but $2K better would be an individuel call based on the r... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Deb, I'm definitely enjoying myself! I was in the biz 25 years ago, but had to give up my 'crack habit' as I call it. Now I'm able to start again, building on what I had. The Odyssey amp I just got is my first 'real' piece of good gear, and I'm bl... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Awesome! I don't use the sub for music at all. Bass extension defies logic, so the sub is now movies only. I have now heard the Kappa's reach their limits, which I've never experienced before, even back when I sold them new. A test track with orga... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? good idea on the reviews, but not useful in my case with 25 year old speakers...unless I go with the 'house sound' theory. Whatever wires they used then are long since discontinued. For the AVR to amp interconnects that should be doable. I do get ... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Thanks!! I must confess to reticence to dive into the cable abyss. Deb, This all started with a ? about would an upgrade from my old Yamaha outboard amp improve the sound of my speakers. After much talk and advice, I got an Odyssey Stratos used he... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? I do get the potential issue being the source (material or player). Right now I'm using a PS3 through my AVR - Yamaha RXA3010. An Oppo 103 is on the shopping list. I know (now) that Yamaha is notoriously bright, so that certainly could be the issu... | |
| Amp suggestions for $1000 Bondmanp - Seconding that recommendation! I got a used Stratos Plus and it has made a HUGE difference, albeit as an upgrade from a Yamaha. Took a huge edge off harsh highs, and I'm hearing so much more than I've ever heard on my speakers before. D... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Well, it just keeps getting better. Sound stage focusing up nicely, sub is turned off for two channel, and the bass output is amazing. I am still stunned at the difference the amp made.But...there's always a but...the extreme highs are still too m... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Ok, thanks. Last night was better than the night before. It's on all the time. I was concerned about popping when I turned the system on/off, leaving the amp on, but there wasn't any, so that's good...I'm a happy camper..:)But in the back of my mi... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Does it still need that much time, being used? Not that I care, honestly, it's such an improvement over what I had, anything more is gravy. I haven't got serious about listening, just hit it with a couple of pieces I'm very familiar with. | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? O great, thanks!! :)The problem is, I agree. :) I still don't get how much more bass information I'm getting. It's not volume, it's like the old amp just didn't reproduce the notes! I did reach the speakers limits on one 'test' with organ notes...... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? In answer to the original question, I'll have to say I need a few days for it to warm up, but so far....happyhappyhappyhappy!!!The initial impact was in the bass. I guess that's where 'pact' is, but you get my meaning. I went to straight two chann... |
