| B&W New Diamond Series? " I just wish my 804 was a little brighter..."Seriously??!!Yes my thoughts too. Already too bright at the 3k range and 8k imo. But I have not owned B&W in a long time. I just admire them from a distance as I love the look and the tech but not ... | |
| Anybody want to talk about the JBL studio 590? Yep audio deal of the century when JBL blows them out on sale at $900 a pair. Every 3-6 months they are on sale straight from JBL. They have a 30 or 60 day free home trial too. The 590 are huge though but I like big speakers. When my non audiophil... | |

| Kef Blade two mixed use I use my speakers in dedicated media room so they are used for movies and games too. I have never once noticed them sounded harsh or poor on none audiophile stuff. Any good speaker should be a non issue. All of the speakers listed are pretty flat... | |
| Anyone go from Sonus Faber Sonetto III to Olympica Nova II? I would guess you will not lose bass. The drivers in the Olympica are probably a lot better. The Driver motor has a lot to do with bass output as does the box size. | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Thiel CS 2.4 Speakers I own a pair of Thiel 2.4s. I don’t think they need as much power as stated above but I run them currently on 450 watts lol. But really they don’t. I have run them on a few different amps (McIntosh MC462 at the moment) and they were fine off 100 w... | |
| McIntosh MA252 owners, one SMALL problem I cut a very very small piece of electrical tape and put it over the light on my MC462. Problem solved. You can’t see the tape from just a few feet away. Kind of forgot it was there. | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers The unnatural voices of the Kaya prof mentions above (I have never heard vivid) probably has a lot more to do with the low side firing woofers with a high crossover point combined with the subtle rise in frequency response starting at 2k, just a g... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Ok, silent bass. Checkout this video. https://youtu.be/PNjuDewrHoY | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? You really just need big subs. The air volume of a car is very small and they use 12” subs or more so the ratio is crazy compared to a room. There are a number of mechanical bass shaper devices you hook up to an amp and you could bolt them to you... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? douglas_schroeder for the win lol | |
| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? Well I have own some of the equipment you are looking at. I owned a B&W 703s and a Rotel 1072 amp. I also owned a Peach Tree Deco, and wyred4sound equipment… and McIntosh. My comments are all very general as it has been a long time and my syst... | |
| Very new to high end audio - Recomendations I personally agree with artemus_5 and I think passive speakers with an integrated amp is the way to get started. JBL 580s and 590s are good starter speakers. Every 3-6 month JBL sells them off their sight at 50% off or more. They are a screaming d... |
