| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @ditusa I'll try to parse what you're saying about why a blanket won't work. Not quite sure what you're saying. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @b_limo It's not at all clear that I'm sensitive to overly-bright speakers.For one, if they're "overly bright" then *anyone* would be sensitive. So, it's not uniquely me. (And others hearing these in my room have also flinched at how bright they w... | |
| Give Bach a try Thanks for the help! Checking it out! | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Hi @ditusa — I have that right now. (At least an absorbent blanket.)@djverne Thanks for the suggestion. I think my Quicksilver Monos will have the juice needed for the 88 db Dyns, but we'll see. No cost experiment. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mammothguy Thanks for the report about the Dyns. I've seen the Confidence series used (about 1/2 price at The Music Room) and I think they had the Contour series recently. Possibly of interest. I'm really starting to realize that I've just got to... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mapman QS = Quicksilver. For both preamp and amp. They're matched perfectly.“tube R2R DAC” = MHDT Orchid DAC with tube.NOS tubes purchased from Brent Jessee and carefully tested.I think it's safe to say that upstream is ok. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @decooney Thanks. I will try those things. Interesting AMT history. @auxinput I'm not qualified to partake of a burn in debate. I decided to get 100 hours on the speakers right away and they're now up to 200. Rather than wonder about it, I just d... | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? @zavato Good story. Sometimes the habits and manners of good customer service aren't passed down. I sometimes find myself bewildered with one local shop, thinking, "Didn't I just spend $5k with you? Doesn't that mean enough for you to answer my em... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @furiouslyadrift34Agree that ceilings likely a problem. Since I have been trying tweeters that have very little vertical dispersion (AMT) I'm now aiming to deal with what's overhead and in front. I've done the mirrors and laser pointer thing. Than... | |
| Give Bach a try Thanks for this. Do you have a recommendation for a recording of the Brandenburg Concertos that is especially good quality sounding? I’m auditioning speakers and I love Bach orchestral works. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Thanks for the summary, decooney. Ceiling has a thick blanket across entire area of reflection points, same with front wall. No side wall reflecting problems. Floor is carpeted, by the way. To quote my OP, “No terrible reflection points; room not ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @djones I'll give a report!@audioman58 oman I'm a big fan of the Finns and like the look of those speakers. Difficulty has been auditioning or I'd be trying them out.@skypunk Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.@grey9hound Amplification in OP... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I don’t think I’ve heard a beryllium tweeter before.vandersteens are on my short list. Are the fritz my favorite so far? That is a hard question because I have had them in my house and I’ve really liked them but they were certain things that other... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Thanks for that elaboration, auxinput. At this point the key will be just to listen! | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @auxinputAppreciate your run down. It’s funny to think that the Salk’s tweeters have a " a slight upward tilt in the 22khz area." My hearing, I’d wager, doesn’t go above 14k at this point!The Revels are interesting choices for trial. I have a good... |
