| What are ways to fix speaker dips in my speaker or audio room 54hz dip is probably the ceiling cancelation in a room with your geometry. How tall is your ceiling? 54hz is a 5’ quarter wave (see chart below, 54hz is 20 feet long). So most likely the ceiling. Moving the speakes around probably will not fix it ... | |
| Replacement drivers for Thiel speakers You can contact this guy that does Thiel repairs. He used to work at Thiel and still does some repairs. He might be able to help you out. https://www.coherentsourceservice.com | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 I know you said bookshelves but the Revel 226be floor standing speaker would be another option. It will take up less floor space than the Sopra 1 on stands and is cheaper. They sound a lot alike to me. The Sopra is what, $10,000 now with the price... | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 Well I would not believe the specs. Looking at the measurements posted above you can see the Sopra 1 and 805D4 reach about the same depth. | |
| Latest D'Agostino monoblock amps??? Well credit to Stereophile for publishing it, they could have just burred it or got a new unit. As for the D'Agostino, there is always a love fest around them but I don’t get it. The progression monos sounded ok/good on a wilson audio wilson alexi... | |
| Bye Bye Puppy! This Sasha 2s are great so no worries. | |
| Does a Subwoofer Make Spiking Redundant? Then mids will still cause vibration. The type of food the speakers are on matter too. Carpet over concrete or wood etc. | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 You will be fine. You don’t need the best speaker ever made just ones you like. They are all colored and limited in reality. You can learn a lot from the measurements but there is a lot of subtlety in them so truly reading and understanding them i... | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 The B&W 805d3 (have not heard the d4) are pretty bright both to my ear and in measurements. I have not heard the Sopra 1 but based on my experience with focal they will be more balanced than the B&W. I have not heard the others. 805D4 meas... | |
| how would you describe a system that is musical in nature I agree with Jim204. Musical is code for colored around here. Not a bad thing if done tastefully. Sonus Faber and McIntosh are good examples of a tasteful coloration to my ear where Magico and Solution are more of a just the facts kind of sound. S... | |
| Revel Concerta2 F36 and the like.... Good ear. While I have not heard those exact models I have owned B&W, Paradigm and currently own Revels (demoed kefs). Revel as a whole is more neutral than the other two. Make sure you spend time getting the subs just right. | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Lol freediver got it 100% right and dropped the mic on his way out…. | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp No worries on the Mac. I own something from all the brands you are talking about. I have McIntosh, Rotel amps, and receivers in the past (still use old Rotel on my rears). I own both Klipsch and Paradigm among other speakers. I have listened to al... | |
| Krell K-300i (with its optional DAC) vs. McIntosh MA7200 (with DA1) vs. ? (including DAC) oldaudiophile,I can add my commentary. I own the Revel 228be with two subs and McIntosh MC462. I demoed the Sonus Faber Olympica III and Nova 3 a number of times. On Classe’ Delta gear and Musical fidelity. They were about 36” off the front well w... | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Steve59,No, offense taken, Revels don’t fall in the pride of ownership category. They look too plain and the fit and finish is just not three. Not bad but clumsy/plastic looking next to Sonus Faber or Focal. They do however sound good in absolute ... |
