| Do I need a subwoofer? @olfac87 Firstly, I wish to express my condolences to you on your loss. I also have just inherited a pair of B&W 801 Matrix S2s of roughly the same era from my uncle who is moving to senior living. Agree 100% with elliottbnewcombjr and simon... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? @meiatflask - Late to the conversation here but I have owned my LRSs for almost two years now. The first 5 months were in a very small room (10 x 12 minus closets) at my old place. Now in the new house, for about 4 months at a time, the LRSs live... | |
| The Magnepan line, now and from the past. I am looking for owners experience. @johnto - That's encouraging to know! I got the LRS to experience a panel speaker. Never had a chance to audition them but it's been a year and a half and I really like them. Got me really curious about the larger models.I responded to your PM.... | |
| The Magnepan line, now and from the past. I am looking for owners experience. @johnto -Are you running your 3.7is in the same 12’x15’ room?I have LRSs in the same size room and they sound great.Thought the 1.7s might be a squeeze sonically.How are your Maggies placed in the room?Would love to get your impressions of the 2 d... | |
| Advice on dedicated room Agree 100% with millercarbon: This small a room will also make it more important than ever that you use a distributed bass array and Townshend Podiums and Pods for isolation. The DBA will make your small room sound huge, and isolation will greatly... | |

| My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !! Hey benzman! It's been a while! I remember waiting with you on our swarms.What a great transformation of your garage! Was trying to picture the olive color when you first mentioned it to me.They look fantastic!Congrats again on the awesome setu... | |
| Rippling cones @stereo5 - after removing 3 springs from each of the Audiocrast spring units to allow for compression, I noticed some audible improvement. Still see the cones jumping around though so will probably order the KAB RF1.Glad to hear it worked out for... | |
| Rippling cones @mijostyn - ''If you want to know what is the environment and what is on the record simply put your stylus down on a stationary record and turn the volume up. Walk around the room watching the woofers. Jump a few times. This is the environment. W... | |
| Rippling cones @artemus_5 - tried moving the speakers away from the turntable.Didn’t notice any change in the LS50s but looks like the larger drivers in the B&Ws seem a bit calmer.@millercarbon So, I put the turntable on an old platform called ’’The Seismic ... | |
| What about the other way around? Thanks for the responses!Think I will go ahead with the bedroom system.I also have a 60 wpc Jolida SJ502A tube integrated. Doesn't look like impedance affects output for tube amps like with SS.But it also doesn't hurt to ask.There are 4 and 8 ohm... | |
| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... Agree 100% with @chayro '' I've owned the SHL5, Monitor 30 and P3s. IMO, the SHL5s had a bigger, smoother sound and are more tolerant to equipment and cables than the others. ''Very tolerant with the numerous amps, cables and stands that I have u... | |
| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... @voodoochillin - I rotate between a Hegel H190, Forte 1A and a pair of Ampzilla 2000 2nd Edition monoblocks (Bryston BP26 preamp).My SHL5+40s sounded great with the above SS amps. Best with the Ampzillas at higher volumes and with complex music (c... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman See figure 2: https://www.decware.com/paper14.htm My listening chair is in a straight line closer to the number 7. Speakers are positioned so that the ''triangle'' is rotated slightly clockwise.Honestly didn't know what to do with my LS... | |
| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... I have the SHL5+ 40s in a 13' x 16' room. No experience with the 30s.For low to mid volume listening, they clearly are better than my LS50s, LRSs and B&W Matrix 801S2s.My 1970s Rogers LS3/5As however, are right up there with the SHL5+ 40s for... |
