| Focal -JM Lab Nova Utopia Be VS. B&W 801D Hey Raquel,Can you explain further how the source impedence issue makes tweeters sound hot? Are you talking about the impedence matching between pre and poweramp?Thanks./Lee | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Thanks Mcrheist! Shopping for stuff! My wife will love hearing this! Might even make her want me to buy more audio?Naaa...This makes good sense though. Fill the room up strategically with items that will absorb and scatter sound./Lee | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Hey Khrys,Perhaps we should talk about a trade? ;-)The Cardas Golden Ref help tame the high end a bit? Interconnects or Speaker Cables? Probably both.Thanks all./Lee | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Thanks Cytocycle. That's pretty much my synopsis of Wilson as well. Especially the changes from 6 to 7 to 8. And garbage in garbage out adage. So true. All good advice.Daryl at Wilson has me switching out a few resistors that drive the tweeter and... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Wow. What a response. I love this forum!First off, I was referring to the baby sleeping. That was a joke.Yes, these speakers do tend torward the bright side. But that's ok. They reveal everything and sometimes this is because they are brighter. Ma... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Hey, maybe it's the loud speakers! Problem solved. | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Wilson suggests that you sit 1.2x away from the speakers, where x=distance between the speakers. Seems like a golden triangle or something. Anyway, the speakers are about 6.5' apart Colopilot. Will have to try rearranging things and moving the spe... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Arthur,The speaks are toed in accord to Wilson's instructions and sit about 1.5 feet in front of back wall, about 4.5' from side walls. One of the corners is actually not a corner at all but a passageway to stairwell. I will play with placement mo... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Thanks all for your thoughts. My guess is that room treatment (and placement) are my first step as I do have a few bare walls that are likely the culprit for first order reflections. Ceiling is entirely bare and is 10' high and left wall could use... | |
| THE Show 07 What did you think of the Sarastros?/Lee | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Hey Dan,They sounded different, yet also seemed bright. Thus my assumption for the room acoustics. I've not treated it yet, save for a few honeycomb blinds over the windows and an oriental rug.As far as room treatments go, I'd always thought that ... | |
| THE Show 07 Well how were we supposed to know that? I searched for Verity in both the CES exhibitor list and THE list. No mention of the Mirage. Bummer... | |
| THE Show 07 Hey,Anyone catch the Magico Model 6's at CES 07? Amazing sound, resolution, warmth and prodigious bass. Cabinets are 660 lbs and big. I want a pair.Was also blown away by the MBL 101X, which is a prototype speaker, not yet available. The 101e's al... | |
| Post impressions on the new MBL at CES please? I was at CES and sat in this room for about an hour listening. These 101X speakers that you see in the above link were pretty stellar. Looked like two 101e's on top of each other, where the metalic dome and two different black sections you see tha... | |
| The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others Some interesting advice above. I agree with Duke, although with a budget of 7k, any used watt puppy from 5.1 on would probably impress. Of course the 8's sound best. They're the latest model. And they cost 24k or more. WP 7's don't seem to go for ... |
