| Compairson ground rules....should we have them? Larry, I fully agree that all things need a context. But I look at it a little different. I would like to see reviews compare all of their reviews to a single speaker with in 50%-200%. A bass line speaker and price could be the Watt Puppy line for... | |
| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier Audioconnection,Yes I am aware of it (I have own both receivers and good separates) but I think we lose prospective here. His friend is clearly new to all of this and what we consider bad will most likely be the best system he as ever had at home.... | |
| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier Spend most of the money on the speakers. Use audiogon (or ebay) and buy an older integrated or even a receiver. People are dumping $2000 receivers on here for $500 because they are upgrading to HDMI. "Highend" receivers will have built in DACs tha... | |
| Peachtree iDac reliabilty? Yeah I owned a Nova and returned it because of the low quality volume control. There are better brands out there. | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Where did you get that price? | |
| Magico - a new Mini? I really hate when companies give their specs as "Room Average Response". It is totally worthless (what room???). Test the speakers in an acoustic chamber.... like the engineers they claim to be. If they want to spec in room as well as acoustic me... | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? I do not have the Studios I am just a fan. I am using a pair of Thiel CS2.4 I bought used off a local dealer. I like the CS2.4 a lot but I often think I should have bought the Studios used off Audiogon instead because the price difference is margi... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Elizabeth,your price will not go down and others will only go up. All this does is open up other providers to under cut At&t or change the same inflated rates. | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? Ckoffend makes good points. I did not recommend the Thiel 2.2 because I have not heard them. There are just so many good buys out there on the used market. You can get the Revel Studio for around $4500 ($12000ish when they came out) and make your ... | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? I would not buy used magnepans. The 3.6 has delamination issues that are atmosphere and age related. A new pair of Magnepans 1.7s would be a much better buy. They use foil instead of round wire for the "driver" and delamination will be minimized (... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's The 802 impedance is all over the place and needs an amp that can handle the swings even though they are 90db efficient. Lots of speakers are like this though. Basically they need lots of current and with lots of current comes lots of power. It go... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? No technical specs yet though. I am curious how much bass they can get out of a sealed speaker this small. I am sure we will see prices soon since they are on the website. I question how much cheaper they will be. The Q3 is more than the V3...I b... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's Nab2, I own some Keb 'Mo but all the other you listed are new to me. I did demo all the music you listed in itunes. I think with your taste in music both of the speakers you have chosen will sound very nice. I think the balance of the revels will ... | |
| What happened to my bass? You need to measure the room. Maybe you have a null at certain frequencies. that might be why some notes are loud and others are soft. | |
