| "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... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Ja_kub_sz thanks for the feed back. We are more or less on the exact same page. The Sopra does looks awesome and sounds good too. The JBL 4367 is my ugliest speaker ever lol… but I think they will be keepers. Good to know the CR-1 is si... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Ja_kub_sz, Your system looks nice. Sorry to hear about your sub issues. JL’s electronics in their E-subs are pretty much trash. I have had both mine fixed twice so I am effectively on my 5th and 6th sub from them. They fixed them under warrant... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Soundstage is all about room interaction (wall reflections). It is important to have even dispersion as you get off axis so the reflections don’t color the tonal balance of the speaker. For $2000 used you can get a pair of Revel F208. They measur... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Skinzy, I tend to think subs without a highpass are not worth the time as it never sounds quite right. Wilson audio makes a pretty good sub controller for around $5k that would allow for the integration. Might not be worth it to you though if you ... | |
| Wilson Sasha DAW vs. Sabrina X Is he running the subs under the mains or using the Lokes internal highpass? If he is highpassing at or above 60hz I would pass and save the money. the Sasha are a lot more dynamic but once highpassed the dynamics of the Sabrina should be grea... | |
| "Diminishing Returns" The Salon II is anything but simple. More engineering went into that speaker than entire speaker lines from other manufactures. But yes I agree, a lot of what people spend money on is excess and not really improving the sound much. | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs I would measure your room for starters. REW is free software, you just need a mic. Recessed mids seems odd for a focal but I have not heard the Sopra1. In general maybe toe them out a bit to knock down the highs which might push the mids more ... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange The mid range will make come speakers play louder for sure. Horns are another way to push down the tweeter to under 1000hz effectively without limiting volume as the driver moves a lot less. | |
| 2 sub hook up You can also use the RCA outs at the same time. Both balanced and RCA are always on. I ran my subs on my benchmark off the RCA and amp balanced, worked fine. | |
| Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one? Fussy speakers usually have issue with even dispersion, time alignment, or lack smooth frequency response. I have found all well made speakers that do the things listed above well are easy to setup. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Final speaker… no surly not but I will be keeping my JBL 4367 for a longtime. They have no real flaw and do a lot of things really well. I will happily move up the JBL line when and if I get the chance. I have pivoted more toward my home theater ... |
