| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? Zenieth:I am going to tag out of this question. I do not have a lot of experience with doing direct A/B comparisons with amps. You should try and get some in home demos from your dealers. Most dealers are pretty easy going about amp demos. Then yo... | |
| Any B&W 802D/800D alternatives looks and sound? You really need to get out and listen. What brands do the dealers that are close to you carry? I would start with brands that are local. If nothing knocks you out then look at other brands. IMO with just a little looking B&Ws will be out done.... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? Zenieth:What is the current problem(bass, sound stage, impact, etc)?Have you ever tried any other amps? While I like Focals pretty well; as a whole I think they lack scale (even some of there larger models). I listen to a lot of hard rock. I love... | |
| Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ??? Your amp should be fine. What are you looking for or missing (bass?). I have found this speaker to be a little picky (in the bass) about placement. How far are they from the rear/side walls? I have heard these several different times, two differen... | |
| Any B&W 802D/800D alternatives looks and sound? Well I have been looking at 802Ds and have listened to them 5 or so times. I think one of there greatest features is their wide sound stage and looks. I looked at several brands (focal, Wilson Duette, martin logan). After all of my listening I lik... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Well Klipsch has prices on there site now..... The P-39F is $20,000!!! They are out of my price range now (15,000 max). I do not think they will sell well at that price.http://www.klipsch.com/products/lists/floorstanding.aspx | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Thanks for the post Tomer_tsin. I new I was in trouble when I could not even tell what language it was though lol. It is disappointing to here you did not like them. I was thinking they would have sound stage issues but would make up for it with d... | |
| 802D vs 800D vs 803D in Small room with open plan? "Can anybody compare the 800D's vs the 802D's? Is there a huge difference?" I can not. But if it were me I would make sure my front end is top notch first if I were buying NEW. With out a good front end and B&W there is no point. If you can ge... | |
| 802D vs 800D vs 803D in Small room with open plan? Yes, if buying used you should move up the line if you can. The 802D is much more open in the midrange than the 803D (I have not heard the 800D). Your room is more than big enough. Your biggest room issue may turn out to be left and right balance ... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Well all pissing contests aside I have high hopes for the line. I value dynamics above all things. IMO dynamics comes with high sensitivity.... or lots and lots of power. If everything else is in line I may look into a pair for the second system i... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? I agree that they are not geared toward the horn crowd and more in line with what B&W and some of the other heavy hitters have out. I think Klipsch is a good mid/low end brand and you get a lot for your money (compared to other stuff at Best B... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Is no one else interested in these speakers? Their sensitivity is rated at 99dB @ 2.83V/1m. They also ship with speakers measurements for EACH pair of speakers. The bass drivers are made of aluminum/Rohacell/Kevlar ply. I believe they are priced a... | |
| Bryston 4b SST or ARC 150.2 on Thiel cs2.4 It is not the speakers. They measure pretty flat and much much flatter than a lot of speakers out there. I don't know anything about ARC 150.2 but what price range are you in? For what it is worth I listened to the 2.4 and 3.7 a few weeks ago with... | |
| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. Baraery:It seems like you found a "house" sound that you like.... Focal. It might be best to stick with them. With your new budget the Focal Alto Utopias Be is in your price range. Many dealers are giving big discounts (20% or more) on the line be... | |
| Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review Blackfly:I am glad you like them. What other speakers did you audition before you bought these? I have had them in the same room with Focal 1037be. I liked the focals a little better because of there more open midrange. The highs were also a littl... |
