| Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2 I haven't heard the Sophia 2. Between the Thiel 3.7 and the Revel Studio2, it's the Studio2 hands down. Properly set up the Studios throw an incredible image, and the highs are much better than those of the 3.7. For some reason on these forums the... | |
| ads speakers Michael Kelly was the man that left ADS for Aerial.I had the M15s. Very good overall, but the cabinets were a bit lively, and the highs a touch soft. But they did have some of the tightest bass I've ever heard.I liked the L-series better.The final... | |
| Best Male & IEC plug for high current power cords? Far and away, for the best combination of quality and price, Marinco plugs. All copper conductors. Shielding is a waste for power cords. Try Carol 10/3. | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 I listened to both (among several), and bought the Salon 2s. The 107/2s are *very* nice though. We all listen differently, in that different people focus on different aspects of the music, so preferences are natural. For speakers of this ilk sourc... | |
| To bi-wire or not to bi-wire? Bi-wiring makes no difference at all, unless you're using cables with a gauge of wire too small for the length and speaker impedance. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Legacy Focus. >95db/2.83v. Of course, it's probably not a speaker you'd choose for a SET amp, because it has very low impedance in some key frequency ranges. | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Larryb, DBTs do not necessarily involve random passages. You are allowed to know a change is occurring, you are just not allowed to have any other information. You can even control when a change is made.Nonetheless, I don't make buying decisions u... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Dragon1952, I haven't heard anyone here advocate DBTs. Having participated in a couple, I don't like them and find them annoying. No value add. On the other hand, some of us can't hear any differences between well-designed cables, and I don't know... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Larryb, I have a set of AQ Midnights, and they sound no different than zip cord on a rather expensive system. Not a bit, but they are cool-looking. I don't use 'em - they sit in a cabinet. If the AQ's did sound "tube-like" that would probably mean... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Tuning your system with speaker cables is a waste of time. The reason you like your old Monster Cables best just might be because they have the best electrical characteristics of the cables you're auditioning. If you want to improve your system sa... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Beernut - good advice. Cobalt Cables are a good combination of excellent basic design, high quality, and good asthetics. Nonetheless, for speaker cables nothing seems to beat 10ga copper zipcord with good terminations (like WBT) for simple electri... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade please help........ Rsbeck, you must like pushing on a rope. :) Do you realize where you are? You're trying to make a sound, objective argument in a forum where people *want* to believe there are easily audible differences between two speaker cables.Nicksgem10s, you ... | |
| Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes Eldartford, you bring up a very interesting and astute point. The Legacy Focus speakers I run are so efficient (at least 96db/watt) that I can always hear hiss if I stand next to the speakers. (It's inaudible at my listening position - even to my ... | |
| Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes I've only got one question. Did you really pay $180 for an outlet? | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Tbg, I have no intention of buying a power cord. My wife wanted to see if she could hear a difference. She knows I think she's wasting her time, but she read some of the high-emotion responses to my posts and wants to hear for herself. Local deale... |
