| 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/ | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? mtrot,all ported speakers work that way but speakers with larger boxes get lowers before dropping off. The subject of this thread the 228be is on example and it goes down to 60hz before heavy roll off starts. The Sophia 3 is another example. Even ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k well money is relative, $70k is not a lot of money to some people and to others it is unattainable. Anyway people really need to know amp your using. Can it handle a low impedance hard to drive speaker? | |
| Kevin's Tannoy priced as a Single speaker?? Price per pair would be fine if they would sell them that way. Try to buy 3 sometime for home theater and you will surly get the run around. | |
| Replacing B&W HTM3 tweeter cone Good to hear. | |
| Replacing B&W HTM3 tweeter cone The assembly might be easier but you probably have to take out the midrange to get to the assembly screws. I would assume it is screwed in from the inside. There also might be beauty ring covering the actual screws of the driver. Some videos below... | |
| Thiel Owners tonywinga,yes I think we are listening for the same thing. I am just the peanut gallery so you can ignore me lol. Having had my Thiels in 4 different rooms now it is amazing how different every room sounded in the bass region. I have also found th... | |
| Thiel Owners duegi,I used a McIntosh MC462 on a pair of Thiel 2.4s for about 6 months and really liked the combination. Try to 2 ohm tap on the MC462. I found the highs softer and more relaxed on the 2 ohm tap. They are hard to find used but a pair of 3.7s wit... | |
| Will sun exposure damage my speakers? Yes keep them out of the Sun. As an engineer of 20 years in the polymer field you should keep your speakers out of direct sunlight. |
