| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... I second the comment about looking at Klipsch & Tannoy. The only component you would need to add if you use a passive speaker, would be an amp. No pre-amp, or receiver would be needed, as a matter of fact, you would most likely be able to save... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm not giving up my Spectral DMA50 any time soon, and I'm always on the look out for another as spare or for bridging.I've had a Luxman M12 since new, and it's not going anywhere either. I just got a pair of B12s (mono versions of the 12), and if... | |
| Old vs. New I think it depends on the component. For my money, speakers have not "improved" in the last 20 years or so. I'll hold my KEF 107/2s, or Quad ESL 63s against anything I've heard under $10k since their introductions. However some components have imp... | |
| Speakers for a large vaulted room? I have two listening rooms in upstairs rooms (in my home & cottage), but neither is as large as yours. Never the less, I've never had much luck using panels of any kind in those rooms. I just don't think dipoles lend themselves to angled side ... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Somewhere in the mix, I've had Magnepans; SMGa, MGII,& Tympani 1D. A couple of Vandersteens; 2ci& 3s too... I'm surprised they slipped my mind, I've always liked Maggies & Vandersteens, guess age is catching up! It's fun to try and loo... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Boy, this could be a challenge... I'm sure to leave a few out, but here goes in aprox. order starting around 1976.Advent two ways, MCS 3ways (JCPenny's brand),Ohm C2,Ohm Walsh 123&4,Ar9,DCM TW700,BES 200?,B&W DM1400,B&W 802,Revox Agora... | |
| Kef 107 vs 107/2 I've had 107/2s since the early nineties (replaced my AR9s). I think the differences between the 107 & 107/2 is mostly attributable the KUBEs each use. I listened to both versions when I was shopping (the dealer had older ones still in stock),... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I've had (and still have) many speaker systems over the last 30+ years, and only my KEF 107s, and Quad ESL63s have stayed consistently in service. Actually, the KEFs replaced my old AR9s, the 9s are now being used by my brother... I couldn't let t... |
