| Kef Blade to Blade meta? Bwguy, I listened to the blade 2 metal again a few weeks ago and thought they lacked detail in the mids and highs. A consistent trend for me when I hear Kef speakers. Having owned B&W and listening to the latest 802D4 I would say the 802D4 is... | |
| Are Metal Speaker Grilles an Issue? There are lots of speaker measurements out there out grills on and off. Just have to look it up. Some grills are terrible and other are transparent. They can add a bit of diffraction. Cloth grills drop the highs about say 8k a bit. Like 0.5db for ... | |
| Compare B&W 804 D2 to D3 speakers I have heard both but I would not buy either. I can’t really comment on the small difference as it was a quick demo due to me not liking them I think the 804D4 is one of the best looking speakers but they would be hard to live with. They are d... | |

| No bass on B&W 800D2 Since you have subs why not just add a highpass or active crossover? I have had a number of large speakers and always highpass 60hz. Almost all speakers that are not large super speakers or powered start rolling off at 60hz and hand off to the por... | |
| The Highest - Suprema I almost went to the same show but got tied up with the kiddos. I have shopped with them before when I was interested in Wilsons. I wonder if the subs were highpassed. I know there is a good bit of flexibility in how they can be setup. Good su... | |
| JBL M2 Vs 4367 I have not heard the M2 but own the 4367…. So peanut gallery comments below. Since these speakers use the same drivers I think the biggest difference will be the dispersion pattern. The 4367 is a good bit narrower than the M2 due to horn patte... | |
| how to run three subs from one lfe jack I am sure there is something in the pro world for running powered speakers that would work. Maybe call sweet water and ask them. Some active crossovers will let you run 3 subs with active gain output (preamp). Sublime acoustics is a good example.... | |
| External crossovers for subs Jastraflu, The subs internal is just a low pass. To better integrate and take full advantage of the sub a highpass is added to the speaker. The active crossovers are doing both highpass and low pass. I have messed around with just using a low... | |
| External crossovers for subs Whether you filter the speakers low frequency with and internal or external crossover. It is more or less the same results assuming all things are done correctly. But for proper integration you either have to high pass the mains or low pass the su... | |
| Subwoofers my first sub question is always, how do you plan to hook them up and do you plan to highpass? If you can get past the looks the JTR RS1 the best sub I personally have heard that are not diy monsters. Their lowest low pass setting is 60hz… so k... | |
| Speakers that disappear Most comments in this thread are correct and setup is key. I will add low defraction designs will help too. I am not too much into stand mount speakers and I can’t not recommend anything but speakers with round smooth surfaces and narrow faces wil... | |
| Upgrade from Revel 228be? I upgraded from the 228be (I also use two subs) to a pair of JBL 4367s. I should note I liked Revel over a lot of other good brands and after many demos stuck with the Revel/sub combo before moving to the JBLs I have a number of posts about th... | |
| Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair I think beryllium gets a bad rap because the tweeters are often elevated to highlight them. But really the material self damps and has far less ringing than other materials. Revel’s tweeter/tuning is super smooth and a hair rolled off if anything.... | |
| Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair Speakers from Harman are real easy to listen to due to them having a drop of about 5db from bass to treble. They are detailed still but just an easy listen. I had a pair of 228be and while not by favorite speaker I owned they were outstanding for ... |
