Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s)
vonhelmholtz,   What integrated did you get?    If you don’t want to add a highpass crossover (hard with some integrated amps) I would pass on the subs. It will be a phasy mess without one.    Rather than subs making it a little better it will... 
Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s)
Yeah the Sabrina with two of Wilson’s new subs would be amazing. They have proper built in highpass crossovers. I would put it up against any of their speakers. Just in concept anyway.    In reality the only difference between the smaller abs lar... 
KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless
The fully active speaker might be better even though the internals are or “lesser” quality. I have been impressed with most good active speakers.    the simplicity would be interesting.   I would be interested to know how the sl60 passes to KC62...

Cornwall 4 vs JBL horn under $10,000
There are used JBL 4367s on here for $6500. Never heard them but they measure very good if you care about that kind of thing. I do as I feel good measurements lead to longer enjoyment of things I might have missed during the audition. The driver q... 
Large room with low budget for speakers
Just sit closer to the speakers… Any normal sized speakers will work at 10-12’ away.

Beryllium Tweeters - Your Opinions & Comments ??
Revel uses SB Acoustics Be tweeters in the Performa Be line (328be/228be)if I am not mistaken and I think they are great. Less grain than the tweeters focal uses in the Sopra line which is also very good. Check out the water fall plots on stereoph...
