Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
I'll be trying out the ProAc Studio 110 and Paradigm Reference Studio 20 next. You know, the Paradigm seems more and more interesting to me. From some of the reviews it sounds like it provides exactly what I'm looking for: a big soundstage, lots o... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
For what it's worth, I owned a Saturn for a few months last year (purchased brand new) and had the same issues as Fillmoor. Namely, the player not responding properly to remote control commands to change song (it would go to the wrong song), and a... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into the speakers you mention. A tough thing with buying used or online is that I've got some things to trade in. Dealing with a dealer who accepts trades or sells on consignment would be a lot easier for me. ... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
A really good dealer here carries Spendor. The SA is a little pricey and I need something a bit more full range. I won't be using a sub, and I primarily like rock music. I might give the Model One a look...but it's even more expensive than the PMC... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
I've always been interested in listening to a pair of ATC speakers. But I'm thinking they might be a little tough to drive for the Audiolab. It's got some guts, but ultimately I'd prefer a load that's no harder than average. 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
Just in case anyone is still interested...I bought an Audiolab 8000S for half off the retail price. Couldn't turn that deal down. In comparison to my Exposure, the Audiolab has toned down the highs nicely, and provides a more full bodied sound wit... 
Castle speakers IAG
I tried getting in tough with IAG once before, suffice to say it's not as easy as it should be. They definitely need to do a better job on that front. This makes buying from a local dealer more attractive, since if you have a problem you can deal ... 
do monitors require a subwoofer?
The problem with subs is that they are tough to integrate into the overall sound of a system. It may be too loud or sound different or what have you. I've tried running a sub and played around with placement to where I thought it sounded good. The... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
I concur with your thoughts on the RS6 Hieule5. I technically had the RS5, but it's pretty much the same speaker. I felt it did everything well but the highs were way too strong.Well now I'm also considering the PMC TB2i. Heard a pair last year an... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
Thanks for your comments, everyone.Markmay, your description of the 12L2 rings true to me. I think they are a little lacking in detail, although that may be due to the fact that the midrange isn't as forward as I've heard on other speakers. Vocals... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
Thanks, I think the Quads definitely excel with vocals and acoustic music. I don't think I listen loud enough that it gives my amp too much trouble. The volume knob starts at about 7 o'clock and I usually listen at 9 o'clock. The system is in a sm... 
are subwoofers anti-audiophile?
I bought a Martin Logan Dynamo subwoofer (sealed design) recently because I thought that it would be a very musical sub. I did my best to integrate it with my speakers (Quad 12L2). I spent a lot of time on that until I thought I had it set up just... 
Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8
Thanks for the reply Xti16. Unfortunately I cannot do a demo as this dealer does not actually stock the DM line. I'd have to order it and hope for the best. But from everything I've read about Dynaudio they are neutral speakers (a little on the wa... 
Is it normal for the woofer to move in/out slowly
This happens when I turn my Exposure 2010s2 integrated OFF. A few seconds after I hit the button I see the woofers move in then out with a kind of sucking noise at the same time. When powering on this does not happen. The 2010s2 has no tubes, it's... 
Dynaudio Excite X16 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140
This is how I would describe the Dynaudio lines:Evidence top of the line = Lexus LFA 11/12Confidence = Lexus IS F/10Contour = Lexus LS 10Focus = Lexus GS 10Excite = Lexus IS 10 (handsome, great fit & finish, full of luxurious amenities, fun to...
