| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW I am a big fan of wilson but think they are way over priced. Their used prices are more inline with their sound quality imo. I really enjoy the coloration of wilson. A little heavy on the bass, forward mids etc but state of the art it is not imo. ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW Calvinsndhobbes,those monitor audios measure pretty good but I have never heard them. Anyway the differences I hear between good affordable speakers and good expensive speakers can be subtle if both are well engineered (this is the key). The monit... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW The Sabrina has a wicked impedance curved and is inefficient. Otherwise a nice speaker. Need big power for sure. | |
| How many of us are truly diversified I own both class d and class AB and at first changed them out. Now the class d is used for my surrounds of my home theater. | |
| Speaker in car boot on hot day Cross-link rubbers found in speakers melt at a very high temperature. If it is hot enough to melt your dashboard you need to worry. Otherwise there is no issue. Now the battery that is a different story. Heat can and will kill lithium batteries. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Hmm I have owned Class D, Class A, Class AB and there is zero chance I will ever use classe d in my main rig again. Class-D makes the music sound quantized with unnatural edges to the music. Good video unrelated on how quantization has messed up m... | |
| Help - Opinions - Amp for Sonas Faber Olympica III Speakers My local shop had had the Olympica 3 on a Parasound, Classe and McIntosh. They all sounded good. I don’t think it is a picky speaker. I like the Classe the best by a bit but that setup (latest abs greatest) was twice the price of the speakers. | |
| 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. |
