| KEF Reference 1s or Wilson Sophias I think it will come down to your sub integration. Do you a crossover as in a highpass? If not I would start there. Anyway I have demoed a number of kefs and the Wilson’s. They sound very different. My comments are based on the Sophia 3 and th... | |
| Upgrade B&W CM4 to what? As a former owner of the B&W 703s I can tell you respectfully the B&W CM4 is a bad speaker. I went from the 703s to Thiel 2.4 (no longer made several pairs on here used) and the Thiels made the B&Ws sound broken. I paid about the same ... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Adding subs is always an improvement if crossed over right. But each person has to decide if the cost, space and complexity is worth it to them. | |
| Guess How Big My Speakers Are While deep the output is only 75db in the graph so could be anything. Large speakers are needed for full range at high output. Small active speakers go super deep, just not loud without compressing. | |
| Sound coming from JL Audio F 113 I had a similar issue with my E112s when the crossovers died. Then again when the volume pots died. Next time you hear it try turning the knobs and see what happens. | |
| Poorer sound stage and bass impact, Focal Scala Utopia Evo vs Focal Sopra N3??? Interesting the two 8” woofers do have more surface area than a single 10” but box volume plays a big factor too. “save” some money I guess and go Sopra. | |
| Mcintosh amplifiers and preamps I view my meters gently rising and falling with the lights off. | |
| WAudio 3900 "Hi-End Audio Grade" Noise Filter I am a year late… but I use this exact unit on my JL subs and it eliminated (at least greatly reduced) the electrical buzz in my system. I use the JL crossovers in the subs and they pick up electrical noise, probably because JL is junk. this e... | |
| your opinion? Sonus faber Serafino Tradition vs the Focal Sopra 3 I can only speak to the Sopra 2 and Olympica Nova III but it might help. Both are fine and I could own either. The Sopra needs subs for bass extension while I felt the bass depth was better on the Sonus Faber. Both are pretty flat sounding. The S... | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? Do you use subs now? If so there is no going back. If not ignorance is bliss. I can only speak to the Wilson’s. In order to get low bass out of them they need some room gain and need to be pretty close to the front wall. There is some magic be... | |
| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? A pair on here for $20k. If I had the money… | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable I have heard the Reference 3 and it can’t be too far behind when played within their limits I imagine you are used to the house sound and like it and imagine the Reference 3 or even Reference 1 would do the trick. The LS50 asks a lot of that tiny... | |
| More expensive = better? No for sure not. Sometimes worse, cost seems to have little factor on sound quality sometimes. Always listen with your own ears and look at the measurements for a sanity check. 1/2 these products are snake oil. I can think of a bunch of spea... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room Well mtrot got this thread started and finished in one post… take any of the speakers he listed and add subs and your done. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon opinions I bought a new pair of Revel 228be for $6300 not too long ago. It is a better speaker than the original salon imo. I would pass personally and hold out for a pair of studio 2 or salon 2 or grab the 228be use which go for around $6000. Even the 226... |
