| Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model) Jbs,good deal. How do you like the results? Happy with the sub as a whole? I am a big fan of subs and will probably never have a system without them. Do you know the slopes of the crossovers you use? 12 and 24db slopes need different overlap point... | |
| Thoughts on Legacy Focus SE vs Kef R7 or 11 vs Revel F208 or 228Be Both the Revels and Kefs have very wide dispersion and great imaging. I can only speak to the revels and kefs as I have never heard the Legacy speakers. The Revel 228be is very good technically. It is not far off in sound from the ultima line. Hon... | |
| Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs Almost all systems needs subs unless the mains have active subs. I would add a watch controller from wilson ($4500). It will take the system to a different level. You could pass higher then too if you are currently coming in under the mains (not a... | |
| Would you Upgrade? Onehorsepony,understanding your issues with the 3.7 I think you will end up with the same issue with focals. I have not heard the Sopra but 1037/1038be a number of times. They are just as revealing if not more so than Thiel and tend to be on the l... | |
| And yet, another speaker query Old B&W 702s I had. On certain female vocals the sound stage at the time was crazy deep and the vocals had magic 99.9% of the time the speaker was rubbish. Never found another speaker with the magic coloration again. Very grating speaker that ... | |
| Something about Thiel CS 3.7 I own the 2.4 and have also had them a long time. I demoed the 3.7 a number of times. The 3.7 is in a another league. It is an amazing speaker. Today it would cost $18k or more if it were still out. It will do everything your 2.4 does only better.... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Deep basswide dispersion dynamic transients | |
| Focal vs dynaudio The 1028 with subs will be better than the 1038 without. You will end up using the subs even on the 1038. I have heard both and tried the 1000be? (Monitor model) with a fathom 13. I would not swop the 1028 be for the 1038 if I already owned the 10... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh What do you use as a source? If you are open to a computer and streaming there are many EQ plugins that are good. You could adjust the frequency to your hearing as needed. | |
| Would you Upgrade? Onehorsepony,“Trouble is, about 15 years ago I changed things up by purchasing a pair of Thiel 3.7’s and they never worked out for me.If I were to ask myself what I don’t like about my current 802D’s I would say issues with the soundstage and imag... | |
| Klipsch Heritage Range Oddiofyl,Can you give some details between the sound differences on the III and IV?I did a quick demo with the III with my own music but on a receiver and I was not very impressed but I blame the electronics. | |
| Smaller vs larger listening rooms? I currently have a 25x26x7’ dedicated room. I have everything setup a little out of center so I don’t sit in a bass null. It works well enough. I had the same system in a 13.5’x18x7’ room in my last house. The large room was harder to get the bass... | |
| Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model) Always high pass the speakers if possible. Once you high pass you can set the crossover anywhere you want and it will sound fine. A good spot is where the driver starts to take a dive and it would be crossed over to the next larger driver if there... | |
| 802 D3 vs 803 D3 vs Sopra 3 vs Sopra 2 I have not heard the 802d3 but heard the 802d2 and the 803d3. If feel the low bass was much stronger on the 802d2 for what it is worth. Not a same room or system but heard both many times in different systems and my opinion of the bass has not cha... | |
| New speaker suggestion Nice electronics. I personally like the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 3 in that price range. They are a good all around speaker that looks as good as it sounds. I liked them much better than the Kef reference 3. Used a pair of wilsons (really any of t... |
