| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade Yeah good to hear. I have no skin in the game either way but I am a believer in measurements and I am sure the results show that with these speakers. The details can be subtle but it is important to understand those subtleties if you want to apply... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade Jim2, very nice, it does make me wonder how these got produced with this sound profile. Seems like it was an easy enough fix from a technical standpoint. | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? I only buy one I can pick up these days. They need to be semi local. | |
| Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics? I bought open box demos from music direct. It I was a smooth process and they were like new. I have sadly never heard the L100. | |
| TV Based System - Hifi vs. Studio Monitors A good measuring speaker is a good measuring speaker regardless of source. If your tv has an eARC enabled HDMI out you can potentially get better sound out of it than toslink. Use what ever speaker you like the look and sound of. | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? Lower cost at the expense of dynamics. Monitors/book shelves are not for me. I value big dynamics above all things in audio. Dynamics is what make music sound real. | |
| Thiel 2.4 Speakers & Krell KAV - 300iL I have a pair of 2.4s. They dip into the 2 ohm range so it is important be stable down low. I don’t think they are too power hungry but they have a rising treble on axis. I found EQing down 2db from 8k up really helped the speaker. the best so... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer Movie sound tracks have a 4db increase for the LFE channel. So if you are not running a home theater processor adding 4db would be about right. | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade I think stereophile’s measurements looks the same. The differences are the room vs near field measurements. The increased bass and rolled off treble are just typical room interactions. The scooped out low mid can be seen in both measurements. | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade Jim2, thanks for sharing. I watched the YouTube video. I demoed the duette when it came out a longtime ago. Too long to remember the details but I do recall being impressed by the bass. let us know how the final product turns out. I am... | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti Tough to top good horns imo. Honestly a smaller speaker will take up the same space. You will not use the extra space for anything. I am sure she is taking up far more space with nick nacks and “junk” all over the house. take your wife to demo so... | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? Yes I have bought a pair of Klispch RP8000fs in gloss black, they are $2000ish and I got them new for $1100. I wanted to try 7.1 from my 5.1 and also wanted to hear the Klispch speakers. At the time I own sever pairs of speakers that were all well... | |
| Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China? I have never heard them but have always found the Wharfedale Elysian 4 a great looking speaker. Sometimes it is not just where it is made but also name prestige too. | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Ja_kub_sz Nice looking setups for sure. I have never tried side placement of subs due to just having limited runs of wire. Maybe once I have the CR-1 I will move them around more as longer runs of balanced cables are more common than RCAs. | |
| Nearfield listening - once more There are two main advantage of near field listening. #1 less room sound #2 more dynamic as less SLP is needed for the same listening volume. I always try to sit as close to my speakers as my setup allows. As you know there are lots of t... |
