| Revel F228be- will my amp be enough? Hmm ok. I have heard the 1037be and 1028be a good bit. What did you like better about the 1028be over the Kanta? I am of the opinion that the 1028be is an overachieving speaker and will be hard to upgrade without spending a bunch of money... | |
| Revel F228be- will my amp be enough? I can help I own the 228be (picture under my profile) and have owned Focal Chorus speakers and currently use Marantz receivers in my home theater (highpassed through my two channel). -your marantz will drive the Revels with easy. They are very ea... | |
| B&W 702S2 vs Polk Legend L800 SDA vs Klipsch Cornwall I have owned all three of these brands before. Personally I think the Cornwall IV is the most interesting on that list. B&W is rough in it frequency response and wears out my ears (I owned the 703, older but very similar to the current 702s) y... | |
| New Perlisten S7T Towers I hope a lot of people buy them so I can get some used… | |
| the cart or the horse? Personally I would start with the preamp and get one that has a good DAC in it to bypass the DAC in the streamer. You could try a different streamer for cheap too these guys seem to think the ifi zen is better I have not heard either ... | |
| SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ??? I would pass on JL. As an owner I have had a lot of quality issues. Two subs have both been returned twice for repairs and still have new issues… | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? I think dispersion plays a bigger part. A wave guide or wide baffle vs narrow baffle changes things a lot. Motor and back waves matter a lot too. For a direct answer I find silk domes are kind of dull in general (some exception in there) but i... | |
| Underpowered? Probably has more to do with the impedance than anything. I use a power conditioner. The only thing it helps is my JL subs… because they are junk and super noisy with what appears to be zero AC filtering. Everything else it did not help or mad... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? No matter how large my speakers are (cruelty my mains have two 8” drivers) I always crossover (highpass) at 60hz or more. I have found subs to be much better than anything short of super speakers below 60hz. 70-80hz will depend on the speakers/roo... | |
| Underpowered? Glad you got it sorted but I would have never guess it was power. I have only used the Big Macs though and my MC462 seems to plow through anything hooked up to it. Maybe the lower powered Mac can’t handle the impedance curve. | |
| Underpowered? I would not trust Andrew Robinson’s opinion. He seems to lack highend experience or be a paid shill, I am undecided. No hard feelings toward the guy but you will get better advice here. | |
| Underpowered? I would guess buying a new amp will not work, you are chasing a ghost. The speakers have no low bass, look at the stereophile measurements below. I owned the 703S awhile back and ran it off a vintage (1976) 40 watt Marantz and it was fine. I would... | |
| Shoot out Wilson vs. Focal A size down on both brands but you could gleam some insight still. | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers I have done both number 2 and 3 while one of my subs was getting fixed. Number 3 worked pretty well. I was using a highpass crossover at the time. | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 50 vs Revel f226Be I can’t help much with the Dynaudio but I think the contour line is more of a direct competitor to the Revel Performa be. The standard performa would be compatible to the evoke. You probably get better drivers with the contour than evoke. The Rev... |
