| College student stuck w/ bad speakers: advise pls I find energy speakers muddy with little bass punch. I don't care for them at all. Just my opinion of corse... I find Polks to lack dynamics and but are ok for consumer products. Klipsch on the other hand has some good stuff. I would look into a u... | |
| want to build a 2 channel system where do i start I would spend most of my money on the speakers. Without good speakers everything else is a dead end. | |
| Next step after B&W 802D What is lacking with your 802D? Also what amps are you using?I think 802D are pretty good all around speaker. But you can find better speakers. You also do not need to break the bank to do so. There are many speakers in the 802D price-range with d... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? Pkancel: "I am not sure in what type of setups you have hear dthe Utopias but comparing it to the usual suspects made them shine as the clear winner for me and i listen to mostly classical music." I heard them in a good but nothing special set up.... | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? I use a mac mini for all of my music these days. I used to keep around good CD players ($1,000-$2,000 range) but no longer do. I did blind test of my CD players and mac mini and failed. At that point it was just easier to use the mac mini. I like ... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? Here is a site with some good pictures, it is in Japanese though.http://www.avcat.jp/avnews/index.html | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? Yea the new Focals look nice but it they don't knock the old models out of the water they will be WAY over price. I though the Alto (at the time 18,000) was about $8,000 over priced. $25,000 for a pair of Altos is a joke. I could name at least 5 s... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? "fyi, the Alto when last sold was $25K"Bar81: Are you sure about your numbers? I priced them at my dealer about a year ago for $17,000-$18,000. | |
| B&W 803d, Martin Logan Spire, Klipsch P-37F? I have listened to the 803D, 802Ds a number of times for long auditions (was going to buy them a few months ago). I also own B&W 703s in my secondary bedroom system. Way back when I bought my 703s I did a direct A/B comparison of Klipsch RF-7 ... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers I agree with Johnnyb53, speakers out of Canada right now have a very good price/performance value. If you are in the USA it is best to buy American (or Canadian) with the current value of the dollar. Over seas pricing is going through the roof. It... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers I am not sure what you are looking for or what price range you are in. But there are companies that make new "vintage" speakers. Tannoy and Klipsch are two that I like. Old Klipsch are forward and very dynamic and Tannoy are smooth, laid back (sti... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I know the Duette was not the best choice but it was what was there. There are a number of hi-fi shops around but none are really "high" end. As for the comment: "It is a small 2-way bookshelf speaker, designed to operate AGAINST the rear wall. If... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I have not heard the Sophia but I have done a direct A/B comparison of Thiel 3.7 and Wilson Audio Duettes.I was originally looking to audition of a pair of Wilson Audio Sophias. But my closest dealer (two hours away) only had the duettes on the fl... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? Missioncoonery: "Dynaudio C4s ..the difference is amazing" Can you tell us what is better/different and how? I have considered the C4 for myself but have never heard any Dynaudios before. I am very familiar with the Focal line though. | |
| Headphones vs loudspeakers Well my hifi life is short compared to may here. I have been into the gig for about 10 years now. My hifi life started with headphones at college. I need headphones because of my roommate. I had bose speakers at the time (ignorance is bliss!). I b... |
