| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room Thanks for the link Pretender. I'd be interested in hearing these speakers myself- a trip to San Fran would be also be fun. Maybe this winter.... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room A quick Google for the Fritz website showed no Grove on sale. Are you buying these direct or from a dealer?Though Fritz's designs are intriguing, I think you really have to listen to them, or at least listen to both the Vandy's and Fritz's if you... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room Though I haven't heard the Vandy 1's (I own the 3a sigs), I would not be surprised that they sound as good as hifiman says. To add a little grist to the mill, instead of Tekton, I would ask that you consider Zu Audio. I have a pair of Omen Bookshe... | |
| Didn't know offers/counter offers did NOT include shipping There's nothing better than reasonable people when it comes to buying and selling on Agon.- And, I have met quite a few in my short time here. | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? A lot of good advice, so far.-Ghosthouse's advice of using a folding panel might be a way to reflect sound.-Dekay's advice of using small adjustments to speaker position should also help.Since you already notice an improvement from using 3 pillows... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? Ebm, the whole point is that the seller neglected to mention the fees.The OP (buyer) isn't being a cheapskate, just nonplussed that the seller is asking for the fees after he received payment.I guess the OP as 2 choices:Either ask for his money ba... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? OP, you say you have already paid half the Ppal fee.If so, and the original listing didn't mention anything regarding Ppal fees. Then, I think the seller should be gracious enough to accept what he has been paid-Even more gracious to refund you th... | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? Sure sounds like it to me. Why are you concerned? Given the non-symmetrical attributes of your room, I would adjust the balance of the left/right speakers to compensate for the difference. | |
| Refurbished vs New I have no experience with Arcam, so I cannot say it is a 'good deal'. But, If it is on Amazon, and the seller is an official dealer, I can't see how you could go wrong. I say this with regard to the safeguards that Amazon provides, should some... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables OP, what length are you looking for? | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? I believe, Ralph of Atma-Sphere, recommends using a Zero device for low impedance speakers.Here is a link http://www.atma-sphere.com/Support#FAQOn the right hand side, he discusses what you are asking about. The Zero link is highlighted in blue. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables Zu are my new favorite cable. You can buy them direct or buy the earlier models at a discount on Ebay or Agon. I also use Cable solutions for my subs, but wouldn't rule them out for speakers. | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! A McCormack should work for you. Or, if you really want to go cheap, a pair of Adcom 555's monoblocked. | |
| Help me with the upgrade path I agree, AppleTV is probably your weakest link.But, I must ask, are you noticing anything lacking in your sound reproduction that is making you consider an upgrade? | |
| Did I buy a counterfeit REL T5/i sub?? Hey OP, did you get an answer from Rel? |
