| Compatibility between speakers and sub. Get a high pass crossover and use what ever sun you want. Matching is mostly about the crossover. I mean most speakers have totally different tweeters, mids and woofers…. The crossovers make them play nice. | |
| Thiel Owners Well after 20 years I let my kids make a fort out of my Thiel 2.4 boxes… looks like I will be taking a pair of 2.4s to the grave lol. They have lived in a second system for awhile now. | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? Can’t go wrong with revel. I do think they need subs as they roll off a little high for me. You would have to spend a lot more to do better. | |
| Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4 Make sure you listen to the B&W loud and long before buying, they are a bright speaker. | |
| 2 x Rel S/812 or Singel No 25 Always two minimum, always. | |
| Kanta No.1 vs Olympica Nova 1? have demoed the Olympica III and Nova 3 a few times. I own the Revel 228be and use subs which is important I think. The short version is I think the Revels are a better speaker. The long version… the Sonus Fabers have a slight dip in the u... | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary I have done this before. I stick to boxes but horns and or panels are fun to have around once in awhile. | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. I don’t know of many mid priced ones. There are cheap ones and pricy ones from JL, Bryston, and wilson audio. I have read some people say you can just use an inline resistor to act as a high pass. You could probably find a thread about it here... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. You are on the right track with the CR-1 as the crossover (highpass is the key) is the most important part of using subs. I can’t comment on the subs in question. | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? Not every speaker can be equalized. There needs to be a few things in order to do it. #1 Even off axis response. #2 no dips and peaks from major resonances, cones or box. #3 low enough distortion so when the bass is EQed up it does not fall apar... | |
| New review of PS Audio's new speaker Thanks, Measurements look bad to me. I don’t read HiFi news enough to be familiar with their measurement consistency etc. https://hifinews.com/content/ps-audio-aspen-fr30-loudspeaker | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived Darko’s video was good. I will hear them sometime soon. But yes for me it would be a “sound bar”. Something I could hook up to a TV/Apple TV and have a complete system that the wife and kids could use daily but I could also put music on from time... | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived Yeah maybe. Price is high for the average person that is not super into hifi. For the longterm guy who has nice power/pre amp not really a good option. Probably right for the audiophile who needs a “sound bar” for the living room second system and... | |
| Best speakers for a small room Anything with a rolled off bass because you will get a good bit of room gain below 60hz. Size of the speaker does not matter too much but how low it reaches will. Simple fix is just to use want ever speaker you want and EQ the bass. |
