| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? Same, car wax. | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria J-wall, Agreed on the Sopra price increaseS. I was pretty much set to buy a pair of Sopra 2s right before they went from $14,000 to $19,000+, just crazy. I ended up buy Revel instead. They are just as good an way cheaper. I mean revels price w... | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria The measurements show the 802D4 is bright. I listened to them today on McIntosh 2700 tube pre and 611 amps. I would say they sounded bright. Sounded like the measurements below. Very high resolution and enjoyable but flawed. Great bass, great high... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? With a high pass crossover it was very easy in multiple rooms and systems. Without it , it was very hard and honestly never right. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers You could look at the speaker and subs single price. Say subs and speakers are $15,000 how does that hold up against $15,000 speakers? I would guess pretty well and probably better. Most speakers with good deep bass these days are pricy. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers My speakers are $11,000 (I paid $6300) my subs are $5000 ($2500 each). Not sure you can look at it as a ratio as the entry into subs is expensive. For example I would be happy running JBL 590s ($900 a pair now) with my current JL subs but I co... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Sadly I don’t know of many subs that have good built in crossovers. wilson audio makes an external one but it is $5k. Their new subs are built in. The JL E-lines is fine as in no loss of detail but super noisy and raises the noise floor. JL-audio ... | |
| 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... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Don’t buy the JL E112s. I have two and both have broken a number of times. Using their internal highpass crossover adds a lot of electrical noise to the system (buzz/hum). I will replace mine with a different brand sooner than later. Running ... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Do you highpass your subs? If not I would start there. good speakers are good speaker but stand mounts (passive) just don’t have the dynamic output need in the lower bass and this Is where the high pass comes in. You need dynamic speakers ... | |

| KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless Looks awesome as a whole. white paper linked below. | |
| Mcintosh MA-7900 home theater bypass with subs - not doable? I don’t own the 7900 but you can do it with an external crossover. You could pull the bars in the back that connect the preamp section to the amp and insert it there. Out of the preamp to the crossover then back into the amp input. From the crosso... |
