| Do my ears deceive me?? Well, it's gonna be $600 to fix my Focals. 2 woofers and 2 tweeters. Seems quit spendy, but I'm going ahead with it. I know the dealer is kind of screwing me, but I didn't see any other way to fix them. Didn't really have a way to figure ou... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Back in 1993-1994 I worked as a stock guy at a store in MN called Audio King. We had most of the high end stuff back then. In the basement (warehouse area) we had a pair of Klipschorns hooked up to a Yamaha receiver that was like 60wpc. It... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Did you guys buy the Razz without a demo? They read like they would be something I love, but doubt I can demo in Minnesota. | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? lemonhaze, I hear what you said. I know the room is 100% important. But I can’t get 3 or 4 subs in this room. It is a bedroom, and way too small. Unless I do Goldenear/Definitive with subs built in. I stil have to be able to walk around the room w... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? I guess I tend to agree with this guy, there are high end makers but a lot of what you are paying for is luxury. I like to find stuff that punches above it’s price point. And I will most likely be keeping the Focals once fixed, but may move to ba... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? But if it's not feasible or economical to change the room, wouldn't that be a great reason for EQ. And isn't that why room correction was created? I mean if Trinnov, Lyngdorf, Storm, and Anthem are doing it. It must lead to something better.... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Well I can say this. In EVERY system I have ever listened to, be it home or car, i can make it sound much better to my ears than it being in the flat position. I'm not gonna buy 20,000 to 30,000 speakers so I can not need an equalizer. It's no... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? soix could be right. maybe my hearing is bad. I'm 51 now, and have listened to lots of loud rock and roll since my teens. You can make the argument an eq is an extra path in the chain. But you can also use an equalizer or bass/treble to adj... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? How is that all over the map. i like what I like. I actually have an Anthem MRX 300 in my basement system from 2010, so i know what anthem sounds like. I also demoed their STR line and it did nothing for me. The mcintosh I have walks all... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? I'm still waiting on the verdict for my Focals. The Parasound puts out 250w/channel. I've listened at loud volumes millions of times, and don't think I was pushing them any harder than I did in the past. But at the end of May something gave... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? That pair of alto utopias listed is intriguing. But they weigh 170lbs and are probably too big for the room. I would love to hear them, but not move them. Sadly, no Harbeth dealers in MN that I know of. Similarly, the reviews of ATC seem ... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? I hear ya curtdr. But it is time to move up. I don't buy/trade every 3 or 4 years like some. I'm 51 and have a good amount of other money invested. Whatever I buy will most likely be for 10 years or more. But I do gotta buy it right the 1... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? soix. I do need an equalizer. I tip the treble and bass up on most music. And even sometimes from song to song. In my cars I've had alpine head units and subwoofers, and am always adjusting the bass a bit for each song. Not that I'm a ba... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Heard Vandersteens at Audio Perfection about 20 years ago. They were good, but didn't really seem to bump on rock and roll. Maybe they're much better now. Will check them out. When I bought my Mcintosh MX 134 in 2003, it was only like $... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Yep. I hear ya Tom on the 10%. Gonna keep demoing and hopefully find something that blows me away. I've saved a lot of money the last 3 years, partially thanks to covid, so maybe I just have to accept that a 10 to 20 percent improvement is goo... |
