| Raidho D2.1 I have never heard them but they measure like garbage. https://www.hifinews.com/content/raidho-d-21-loudspeaker-lab-report | |
| Best Speakers for a MAC M5200 Revel’s 328be’s tweeter is very soon and refined. No harshness at all. I have not heard a better dome tweeter. If anything it is just a touch below neutral (in room anyway). I have never heard anything from Aerial Acoustics. | |
| Best Speakers for a MAC M5200 Good choice. I demoed a pair of Revel 328be on a full Mac system (MC462/C49) and thought it was one of the better systems I have heard. Really no flaw. There are things on other speakes/amp people might like better but as a whole it was hard to kn... | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers Even big companies like McIntosh and Revel have long lead times right now. | |
| Magicos! What did you think the A3 did better than the 226bes? I have only heard the 328be and they were very good (even better with a good sub). I assume the 226be are pretty solid minus the sub bass. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Yes I should clarify I guess. My thought is the Yvette or older Sophia 3 with a pair of subs high passed (JL CR-1 etc) at 60hz would play in the same league as Wilson's much bigger models. I don’t like monitors with subs at all. Just to different ... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Fair enough. Do you high pass your subs or run them low pass them under your mains? Big difference in how it setups the room. I think there is something right around 50-60hz that big speakers just do better but subs high passed work about the same... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... I agree. Defining scale and what causes it? Dispersion?, frequency range? Sound power? I would argue that the Sabrina X with high passed subs would get you right there or maybe even more tuned into the room. | |
| Goldenear triton replacements You are going to lose some depth in the bass for sure without the powered subs. In that price range I think used Revel 208s or new 206 are worth looking at. Kef R5 or used R7 would be another one. I prefer the revels over the Kefs for a more integ... | |
| Goldenear triton replacements Price range? | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo All I learned from these measurements is that the room matters more than the speakers and MF room sucks. He would get better sound with subs and smaller speakers to fix that crazy bass null. If you can afford the speakers you can afford the amps. | |
| Fuzzy white noise sound coming from tweeter? I have a Rotel amp on my rears. They are noisy amps, don’t worry about it really. It is the amp for sure. Also owned the 703s2 at one point too. | |
| McIntosh I was quoted 8-12 weeks on an MC462. It has been about 4 weeks. | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? Yes good speakers for sure. I am surprised I don’t hear more buzz about them and I think they out perform everything I have heard in their price range. | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? Ok thanks for the video I missed that one, I will watch it in a bit. I ended up demoing the 328be tonight on a McIntosh MC462 and C49 preamp. First track I pulled up was Chris Jones “No Sanctuary” and I thought wow sounds like there is a sub on...... |
