| Drivers survived Wow, got lucky. Drivers must have had good mechanical stops. | |
| Cornwall IV and subwoofers I have played with subs a lot over the years. 3 different rooms and 4 sets of speakers with the same subs. I have found two methods work for any speaker.#1 use a high-pass filter and crossover where the bass driver of the mains drops down -6db bef... | |
| Cornwall IV and subwoofers Interesting about the different comments around the bass. I think it is what you are used too. I run subs (not with cornwalls) and every system without subs seems lacking to me. I need flat sound down to 20hz to be happy with a system. Now that I ... | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Steve59,That is just the way of the world these days. Happens less in highend audio I guess. I own an $8,000 mountain bike and not a single part is made by the company I bought it from. They design it and outsource everything, even assembly. As fo... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I am getting a kit out of this thread as I read it and listen to my MC462/Revel combination. One of the best combinations I have owned and within spitting distance of anything I have heard. Revel is another brand that gets no love around here for ... | |
| For B&Wers: How would 803 D2’s compare to Nautilus 802’s? One sub would work but it is a pain. I have two and had both break (failed volume pots) so I had one sub for a few months as I rotated them out for repair. After a few days of messing around I got it to sound good in the prime seat with one sub bu... | |
| For B&Wers: How would 803 D2’s compare to Nautilus 802’s? Part two…YouTube I know, I know… anyway take a listen. B&W 804D2 vs Wilson Audio Sabrina. https://youtu.be/czrzC2kMf48https://youtu.be/Z0kia8GO6CA | |
| For B&Wers: How would 803 D2’s compare to Nautilus 802’s? The Nautilus 802 is very old. From 2001ish if I am not mistaken. I would not trade a new speaker for an older on in the same brand. the 802D2 would be worth having. I can’t help directly but can tell you what I heard before. I have heard the 803D2... | |
| Pimp my speakers: Sonus Faber vs. Focal That will be a great purchase for a longtime, enjoy. I might have gone that roughy if I was not worried about the kiddos and what they call “grills”. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I wonder how many people have really done direct A/B testing. Link to one below of McIntosh and D’Agostino, interesting outcome. https://youtu.be/td54mT0bGo4 | |
| Sopra 2 Bass You will like the sub it will make a big difference. One sub can sound fine but it is a little harder to work with to get smooth bass. Two subs is much easier to get flat bass in room. But with a single sub you should be able to find a spot that g... | |
| Pimp my speakers: Sonus Faber vs. Focal bigtex22,lol!, if you got the wife involved it has to be Sonus Faber. They look amazing and sound good too. After demoing the Olympica III among others I bought Revel 228bes but my wife still talks about putting Olympica’s in the living room (the ... | |
| Focal 948 vs. Klipsch Cornwall recommendations? I ran a pair of B&W 703 (hard to drive) off a 1970s Marantz receiver…. It sounded great. In my main system I have a $9,000 amp, a $900 amp and in my second system I have a $800 marantz receiver form 2011 and that $800 receiver (needed HDMI swi... | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? mtrot,No problem, just one armchair hero’s opinion lol. Yes either speaker, the Kanta 2 or the Revel 226be should work fine close to the wall. Typically measurements are taken from the driver face. I pushed my Revel 228be back to 24” and 39” and t... | |
| Advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room Probably just need some room treatments. Some 242 panels from GIK would do the trick. Knock down those highs and leave the bass along. https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/gik-acoustics-242-acoustic-panel/ |
