| Bang for the buck All those speakers mentioned are fine. But truly best bang for the buck is JBL. The JBL 580 is a $1600 speaker on sale for $600. Free shipping free return 60 day trial. They are great speakes and play well out of their price range. They don’t go r... | |
| Bang for the buck ASR is a good source and a lot can be learned from understanding measurements but not all that is important is measured. How do you measure bass texture and detail? How do you say which kids are more natural if they are both flat because there is ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Daveyf, interesting I got into speakers around 2002 in college and things were already pretty expensive. The Wilson Sophia came out and I think it was around $12k at least by the time I noticed it. Interestingly as I have made more and more mo... | |
| The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house. Not just a house but tucked in a basement helps. I like to listen loud (100db) from time to time just for a handful of tracks but it is nice. | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) JBL 4367, no really they are amazing I have been playing with a pair for a few days. I am a fan of the Sophia 3 but feel the 4367 betters it in every way. The bass is very textured and detailed from the 15” driver. They have the best highs I have ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? They looks sweet and I am sure they sound good. Luckily there are lots of good speakers coming out around the $5k mark for the new younger people if they are interested. While I have not heard them speakers from arendal sound, Mo Fi and even the n... | |
| SOUND-DIFFERENCE: adding Emotiva BASx A2m amp to MAIN OUT of Marantz 2226B I have one of those vintage Marantz that was my dad’s. I will have to look at the model number. Looks just like the one you have. They have a good sound/tone. Just keep it a use it unless you need more features or dislike the sound. Most of the im... | |
| Injecting one sub to Benchmark system… Benchmark runs both XLR and RCA outputs at the same time. You can use one of those to the subs and the other to your amp. You can also go in and adjust the voltage of the XLR with the pads to match the RCA voltage if you need to use an XLR to RCA ... | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? There are lots of good speakers under $10k, they are just ignored on this sight. | |

| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? In theory I would like some good old school horns… but sadly I have not found any I like yet. I keep it on the back burner of things to buy one day. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? JBL SUB18. Peak output of 137db and gets pretty low while doing it, Pretty nuts. https://jblpro.com/products/sub18 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1221512-REG/jbl_sub18_high_output_studio_subwoofer.html | |
| Warning for Revel lovers Audiowatchfreak, I doubt the revel will wow you on first listen. They are a somewhat laid back speaker in room and are east to listen to with no real fault. I would curb your exceptions to be wowed but they could easily be a “last” speaker as ... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Honestly I have thought of this same issue. I also have a large basement setup that is 95% two channel and 5% home theater. I have looked at large home theater subs (JTR captivator etc.) online and read up on them but almost no one uses them for t... | |
| Used vs. new The 804D is not near as good to my ear as the 802D3. The bass output and slam is not even close. Mids are more open on the 802D3 too. The 803D3 always lacked bass to my ear however. now I did not really hear the port noise but the measurements... |
