| Klipsch Cornwall IV I have heard both the Forte and Cornwall. The Forte is a tricky one as it feels like it needs more space than the Cornwall, maybe due to the passive radiator. So for me other than price I would take the Cornwall and if you can afford $4500 you pro... | |
| Better than Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD? I have never heard the Usher so can’t really help. I know you said new but with monitors picking them up or shipping them is much easier. I would look at used Focal Sopra 1s (a few pairs on here). I think they are the monitor to beat at the momen... | |
| If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review alanhuth is correct. Don’t believe anything unless there is a direct comparison. I could describe Apple air pods and good detail, excellent soundstage and imaging. Good bass but but a little warm and lacking depth. Easy to setup and great build qu... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? ejr1953,nice system there. I use a MC462 (with two JL e112 subs) on a pair of Thiels and I imagine the Sopra 2 is a perfect match. I am looking to pick up a pair of used Sopra 2s or Revel 228be/328be sometime this year. The revels match well with ... | |
| Using a sub with no sub out on my amp You can also just run leads from the speaker to the sub. It won’t effect your sound unless you are a bat with super hearing. Not all subs take this type of connection. Rel is a brand that does. | |
| Poor quality control crooked driver Where did you get them? If it bothers you return them get another set. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Only con of active is you can’t tune the sound with different amps. All other things being equal are better IMO. | |
| I heard the Box Not directed at anyone, The box sounds different than one would think. When I hear the box the sound stage collapses. Not some boxy sound. I think port noise is sometimes confused with the box flexing and making noise. | |
| Revel 226be vs. 228be I have only heard the 328be but they have very seamless integration between the mids/highs and bass. I can’t think of a better integrated box speaker off the top of my head. The 228be is probably bordering on super speaker performance at a good pr... | |
| New Speakers $10K -$20K Some eye/ear candy. https://youtu.be/DR3dZEHPg38 | |
| New Speakers $10K -$20K I really like Sonus Faber but the new models no longer have a warm sound. They are a neutral speaker these days. Try to listen before you buy. I can’t comment on the others. | |
| Apple Music The only way to run high-res from a phone is from an external dac. The dongle has a limit of 44.1khz with a 24 bit depth. So everything is down sampled through the dongle so it is a moot point. The high res is pretty night and day better with the ... | |
| Apple Music Hmm I hear a big difference between the Gregory Porter “All Rise” Lossless and 24-96 high res album. The 256 to lossless is less noticeably. I think this is because apples 256 codec is very good. You can switch instantly and it is very easy to hea... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Cap changes are frustrating because it should not need done. I swear every speaker at even crazy prices come with crap internals. | |
| Ken Fritz' Dream System documentary. Well worth watching. Thanks. |
