| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @vinylvalet Thanks. I have ATC high on my list but I realize I need to go down this path, first. That doesn't preclude other paths. I'm starting to see this hobby as composed of genres -- various combos of amps and speakers of different types, al... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Great suggestions! I need to decide whether I am a dome or ribbon guy. | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter FWIW, I went back and forth on my REL 328 sealed sub and heard zero difference. I contacted REL and they said in their tests it didn't make a difference. They said, "A while back, REL tested some third party power cords with our subs but did not f... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @vinylvalet Interesting idea, the RoomPlay session. I searched but cannot find where Jim Smith is located for these sessions. Can you reveal that? | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @charles1dad Thanks for the additional information about Wharfedale. Given JA's report about those low impedance values, I'd pass on Wharfedale. This was something which steered me away from the Focal 936, and Tvad pointed it out to me. I could *... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @audioguy85 It's good to know that the Wharfs can do that at 87db. My Salks don't do that at 87 db and I've tried numerous other speakers at around those sensitivities that are also not so nimble as what Reichert says he heard. I'd like to see a... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @69zoso69 To message, click on the user name in the thread and hold it down. You'll see an option that says "Message user." | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @larry5729 I have been to Soundings before and it is a good store, though increasingly focused on home installation. Which speakers at that store are particularly high efficiency because that is the point of my question and I have not identified ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver The newer X3's are OB all the way down. The bass is powered but open. I think the design changed. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @ghasley can you broadly describe your room and the desired setup? It is 26.5ft x 15.5 ft. x 7.75 ft. Normal rectangle with a couple window wells (it’s in a basement). I would be able to do whichever treatments, rugs, etc. seemed appropriate ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jdoris I spent 3 hours listening to the Spatial X3's the other day. Quite enveloping and lovely. I'm not sure I fully love that approach to sound, but it may merely be the foreign-ness of it, compared to my decades of listening to box speakers. ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @lalitk — I will add Tannoy! Yes! I forgot about them. And I suspect we'd get on famously. I'll let you know if I go back to Houston. Gotta see the Menil again…been too long. Cube added to list. Hey — have you ever heard Pearl Acoustics' speakers?... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver A lot of my indecision comes back to some fundamental things I don't know, yet. What style of presentation for these sensitive speakers appeals to me? Single driver? Horn? Three way? Ribbon? Open baffle? Etc. That's one reason I'm trying to stir u... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @jpwarren58 "No conspiracy or master plan but an incoherent commercialization of culture" Agree, except for the plan part! It may not be master, but the incoherence most experience yields a fair amount of control and profit for, let's say, .1%. |
