| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Ohlala, I always like the sound of the JL but the JTR pretty much eclipse them. I have not owned the F13 but have done a back to back E112 vs Fathom and thought they were pretty close in sound charter, minus the built in EQ. I will give plugg... | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina https://youtu.be/3FnduAiBkt0?si=G8Ko3ZUw38A5zYYT | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? I have experience with both brands in this price category. I would recommend a demo of Wilson Audio in your price range (lots of used one out there too). Both wilson and Sonus Faber will be more neutral than B&W. The Wilson are almost always ... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Phusis, Thanks for the impression. I have not heard the M2 just looked at the measurements (Harman’s and Kipple from Erin’s audio corner). I have heard a few crown amps which are fine. I will not argue against the advantages of active systems... | |
| New Acquired Sopra 2 I am a Focal and Mac fan. They go well together. https://youtu.be/RBY_xDhXB6s?si=55a7h6HaQ7cQ45OQ | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) I have been trying a bit higher crossover this week. I am currently using 75hz and went as high as 120hz. I think the truth this with a proper crossover you can pretty much crossover at any point and get a good blend. The 18” JTR have more detail ... | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? Not sure that one detail matters too much but dynamics are super important and people underestimate how much power it takes to go instantly from 60db to 70db with a drum hit. The speaker/amp combo needs to be able to triple its power in a fraction... | |
| Seeking wisdom - high efficiency, low- to mid-db, music-first speakers I thought this video had good information. Personally I would buy narrow floor standers like the Revel 206 or JBL 3600 which are both often on sale. | |
| Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s Stanleo, their sub will probably have sixteen 4.5” drivers lol. | |
| Unison Research Max 2 vs Border Patrol Volti Rival Horn Speakers Kennymacc, I have never heard either but know the Salon II well, currently use JBL 4367s and my last speakers were Revel 228be. My comments below are just keyboard warrior stuff… Anyway I have seen you state you really like the Salons (so d... | |
| Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s Borresen X6 would be my choice or whatever speakers you can find used. Good electronics to good electronics does not make that big of difference. | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? You might find these videos interesting. https://youtu.be/iF7QaP0AZcY?si=vcWw_6sXe622fXph | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio As amp power has gone up and group delay down I think servo based subs have less of an advantage or no advantage really. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO Well I posted in this thread in 2021 that I had four JL E112 failures. Now in 2024 I am up to five E112 failures. I sold my working sub cheap and gave the broken one to a friend. JL Audio will never get another penny from me. Their customer servic... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Phusis, Thanks for the detailed thoughts. yes I have tried rolling in subs under my mains at 37hz with my JL but not the JTR (internally their low pass stops at 60hz) and ran it that way for a month or so. It sounded fine but lack the impact ... |
