| Questions about room size and speaker choice I have worked with small and large rooms because I have moved a few times.The good:All in all a small room is not total death to a system and it can still sound good. What most people seem to not fully understand is room boundaries are the issue n... | |
| B&W 805's VS Quad 12L speakers There is a pair of 805 signatures with Grey/Black tiger striping for sale here on Audiogon. They are $3000 including stands. I would grab these in a heartbeat if I were looking into 805s.Just a thought | |
| Moving from the Magnepan 3.6 to the 20.1 Don_c55, You have an interesting point about the midrange on the 3.6 vs 20.1s. I honestly like the mids better on the 3.6 for lack of a technical reason. I just keep my comments to myself though because I have only heard each of these speakers for... | |
| Advice for speakers under $4K for mixed use I also own a pair of 2.4s and while they do need a solid amplifier (no pun intended lol) to sound their best you can get away with much less. I have tried 3 amps on the CS2.4 at this point. Mcintosh 252 (250 watts/ch class AB), Wyred 4 Sound ST500... | |
| Moving from the Magnepan 3.6 to the 20.1 I have heard both back to back at a dealer demo. The 3.6 was on a Mcintosh 252 and the 20.1 was on Mcintosh 1000 watt mono blocks. The 20.1 have a LOT more bass. They dig deep and have good output. The midrange is not as forward on the 20.1 and a ... | |
| Advice for speakers under $4K for mixed use A used pair of Thiel CS2.4 ($5000 retail, $2000-$3000 used)."The Thiel CS2.4 is a great loudspeaker, one of the very best I've heard regardless of price. Its treble soars and its bass plummets, but all the while the CS2.4 sounds utterly neutral an... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? My system costs more... But I am not into cars, I have always felt they are the worst "investment" you can make... they cost a lot and lose value no matter what. I always got my kicks out of extreme skiing, mountain biking etc. | |
| Thiel 3.7 Do you already have the Brystons? If so I would just stick with them. There are other amps that will give you more of this or more of that but Bryston is a good brand with a GREAT warranty. I am not sure where you are getting the idea that the 3.7... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 Ricred1,Sorry to hear about your problem but it could be a good thing. The Sophia 2 will have a lot less value in the used market once the Sophia 3 flood the market. I would take the upgrade in a heartbeat. In reality if you keep your Sophia 2 fiv... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 Ricred1,I believe they just started shipping the first of June. I doubt we will see an in-depth review on them for awhile. But judging by the differences between the watt puppy 8 and Sasha I would expect the changes made in Sophia 3 to make a bigg... | |
| Speakers with deep base Well there are lots of speakers but new speakers in that price range that can do deep bass will most likely have lots of compromises in other areas. I would buy used.An often over looked speaker line for there bass is Thiel. There is a pair of Thi... | |
| which not too expensive amp for Maggie 1.7 ? Wyred4sound ST-500 are very good amps for "cheap".Here is a link to the review page. Wyred4sound reviews | |
| Favorite 5 Hard Rock albums Driving Music I agree with Buff "Metallica Ride the Lighting & Master of PuppetsPearl Jam 10Nirvana NevermindSoundgarden Badmotorfinger"I would add Stone Temple Pilots-Core. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I would think the resale would be no worse than other brands. It should be better because there is only one "dealer" so prices are fixed. I judge resale on how much I lose. Look at Wilsons, they sell for as low as 53% of there retail just 4 years ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly How does te porting system work on this model? Is it the same system as the Essence or is it some thing new. |
