| 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.

| Boutique or Big Brand? One more sound demo of the B&W 805d3 with the same Focal Sopra 1, different electronics. | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? Nothing wrong with wanting/liking the 805d3. I have heard them a bunch of times and they are fine just a bit bright. Depending on your age a bit of brightness could be good but they are bright enough that bad recordings will be real hard to listen... | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? Big brands tend to give you more for you money sometimes. look at the build quality of the 800 series. It is outstanding, a small brand would be twice as much. I don’t like the sound of B&W but there is no denying the 800 have an amazing b... | |
| New to hobby: McIntosh D150 w/ McIntosh Amp vs. Rotel Separates I can’t comment on the McIntosh D150 but I own McIntosh MC462 and have had a number of Rotel amps over the years (still use them for surrounds in my theater).
