| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? Little bit of an old thread but I plan to demo the 328be in the next few weeks (also at Xtend). I am really only interested in the 228be and would be running them off a McIntosh MC462 with two JL E112s subs high pass at most likely 60hz. I have no... | |
| Can you get proper imaging if speakers are not the same distance from center? No you can’t but who cares. If the music connects with you all is well. | |
| KEF reference line revamp ?? Might just be a running change. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Worse case if you don’t have a dealer Music Direct and Crutchfield both sell them and have 60 day return policies. They are pretty different so you will know pretty quick if they are for you or not. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I have demoed them twice at the local dealer on a McIntosh 7200. I do not get the hype and thought they were kind of meh. They seemed pretty average to me. I felt like the leading edge of the bass was pretty soft and ill defined. We moved them aro... | |
| Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc. The a crossover with high pass is the most important part. With a good crossover you can greatly improve your sound. With just a low pass you are just extending the bass (which is fine too...but not as good). Two subs will be much better. One sub ... | |
| A bit of an epiphany...with humble embarrassment Good to hear. Another thing to try that is free is toe in. Different angles of toe make a huge difference. Sometimes more than the difference between amps. | |
| Is louder better? I find louder better as long as I stay below 90db. | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Revel Salon 2 is the best measuring speaker I have seen. I happen to think it sound pretty good too. | |
| Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k The only speakers I have heard on your list are the Totem Wind and the Olympica III. I like the Olympica a good bit better. The demos were too far apart for me to give detailed comments but I feel the nova is as good as anything in its price range... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III, Olympica III Nova Nova III is a real nice speaker, looks as nice as it sounds too. When you used subs did you use an active crossover (high pass)? Makes a big difference. | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III, Olympica III Nova I have heard both the Olympica III and Olympica Nova III in the same room but many months apart and on different gear. I heard the Olympica III and thought they were nice. Balanced but not sure they were an all out upgrade from my Thiel 2.4s. Then... | |
| unconventional stand solution for LS50 Wireless II? suggestions? Stools will be fine. More important is the height is exactly right for your seats. You can always cut the length if needed. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! The whole talk of upper frequencies is comical. I am 40 and can’t hear anything above 15khz. I am far more careful with my hearing (as I am sure many of us are) than the average person too. It is just the nature of the beast. I think most people s... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Dave_B,your posts are making me want a pair. They are very cheap too, well compared to everything else I want. As for the technical issues with horns, I can’t say I care. When I started in audio I read all the white papers and was interested in al... |
