| My new B Stock speakers I am glad you like them. It does not surprise me at all that you prefer the Revel. The Revel is simply smoother on and off axis not to mention many years of development. The Harman curves which drops about 5db from bass to treble is really about ... | |
| Focal v Wilson I would try these new in the box Revel 328be. I have bought from this seller before. Not sure where you are located, these are in Michigan. The 328be is a near perfect speaker with almost no real flaw other than it lacks an exotic cabinet of much ... | |
| High Pass Filter for Mains This would work from sublime acoustics ($600) They also have one with balanced connections and use very good parts. Another option is an inline highpass from Harrison… it is $28 and sounds transparent to me. It will be 12db so use two if you want ... | |
| Focal v Wilson I have not hear those exact models but can compare those brands older models in that time frame. Speaking generally the wilson has a bit more bass impact, as in the leading edge of drums hits. The focals are a touch more “round” in their bass tun... | |
| Klipsch RP-600M & Klipsch R-12SW Sub Or Focal JM Lab-Cobalt 806 & Focal JM Lab SW 800 Sub? The Klispch sensitivity is actually 85db-ish. Klispch uses in room measurements to rate their efficiency which is more or less lying “The sensitivity is 85.2dB @ 2.83v/1m, despite Klipsch rating this speaker at 96dB (using in-room, half-spac... | |
| Klipsch RP-600M & Klipsch R-12SW Sub Or Focal JM Lab-Cobalt 806 & Focal JM Lab SW 800 Sub? Ok well both my recommendations will blow up your budget… specifically I have heard both the RP600M and a bit higher model of Klipsch sub than you have. I think the speakers are pretty good and the subs is pretty bad. A sub upgrade would make ... | |
| Klipsch RP-600M & Klipsch R-12SW Sub Or Focal JM Lab-Cobalt 806 & Focal JM Lab SW 800 Sub? There are lots of good speakers out there, what is your budget? I have not been a big fan of Focal’s lower end models. Focals good speakers start with the Sopra line for me, everything else is too rough in frequency response. maybe read up ... | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect Hmm interesting in a bad way. They “out source” both the drivers and cabinets and they are “cheap” for their performance which I think hang with much more expensive speakers. My 228be had no issues of any kind but I am not super picky about visual... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta As always listen for yourself if you can. Or order from somewhere they can be returned. For me they lack dynamics and bass… if you gave me a pair for free I would not use them. I do however understand why people like them and understand our lis... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? There is kipple measurements online for both the 805s and 126be. I will link them below. It has been a long time since I heard the 805s to comment but I have owned speakers from both brands. The revels tend to be smoother and more dynamic as a who... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? Audio advice has the 226be grey and white on sale for $2340 each ($4680 a pair). So still about $1600 more than a pair of 126be on sale which is significant but it is really an amazing performer. The bass rolls off pretty early on the 226be and wo... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? They are fine and probably an ok buy 1/2 off or on sale. I feel the 226be is a much better speaker for the same required floor space if you can swing the price. They are often on sale or open boxes too. | |
| In Walls There are good in wall but they are going to be out of your budget. Kef, Perlisten and JBL synthesis come to mind. For what it is worth lots of movies are mixed/mastered on JBL synthesis systems but that is probably more about market penetration r... | |
| Hsu has custom high pass filters Thanks for sharing. If someone wants a 24db slope without a silly price Sublime acoustics looks like a good option. https://sublimeacoustic.com/ | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers Based on the linked measurements the LS50 takes a big dive by 96db in the bass. If you want to play above 90db-ish you probably need a crossover of 100hz and a safer bet would be 120hz if you really wanted to rock out a movie. So maybe the questio... |
