| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Damn hard to find used at a reasonable price. I’ve posted a few ads over the years looking for a pair of IB2 and MB2 with no luck. Awesome speakers with the right gear! | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? If you have the budget and space you owe it to yourself to get F208's. The larger drivers, adjustable tweeter levels and boundary compensation makes for a much more satisfying long term purchase. | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Thank you for the honest feedback on the Paradigms (all too often there is personal bias involved on these sites) I tried twice to spend time with Persona 9H’s at CES but they had them playing so loud I had to leave the room...like most attendees.... | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. There is nothing slow about the 8" woofer in Audio Note AN-J's. ATC sealed bookshelf speakers with proper amplification have a certain speed to them I haven't heard in any ported design. For straight up bottom end go with Isobaric designs like Nea... | |
| My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live... The two best Spatial combos I heard while I was part of the Canadian distribution was an 8 watt 300B based Finale SET integrated and an Ear 868 preamp with a Nord One Up Hypex NC500 Class D amp. Both had their own qualities and I can’t say one was... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? JBL Synthesis horn speakers with large woofers will give you a wide stage and fast bass. With that being said the listening room plays an important role. Demo what you can before making any big decisions. | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. Neat isobaric (Momentum, Ultimatum) bookshelf speakers have excellent bass for the size. Both can be found used for under 4k. ProAc Response floor standing models also have very solid bass and they sound great with the Wells Majestic. The footprin... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? Any of the ML's worth recommending are going to be quite a bit more money (with the exception of used Prodigy.) Magnepan 3.7i's are worth recommending but like any panel speaker it comes down to personal tastes so at least demo first. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Can someone explain how cars have anything to do with audio? I must be missing something. | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? The ELAC VX-JET tweeter/mid is spectacular. | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? I own the Special Forty in grey. Very nice speaker overall. Lots of depth and refinement to the sound. | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? It's going to cost a bit more but it sounds like ATC SCM 11's would be the way to go. They are a completely different level of performance and well worth the extra money. | |
| Has anyone compared the Totem Forest to the Forest Signature? I've compared both. TBH it was extremely disappointing when I heard the standard Forest and my Forest Sigs sounded no different. One of the only times I was disappointed by a Totem product. It is a nicer looking speaker though. If you want more de... | |
| what speakers to buy @helomech Great post and recommendations. | |
| thread for PMC owners I've only owned the smaller towers but have been on the lookout for IB/MB models just to hear in my own room. PMC was the first speaker I heard back in the day that dramatically changed with the right amp, like night and day difference. |
