| Help buying fullrange speakers for $1500 Dynaudio DM 2/10 (new). This is a stand mount speaker, but uses a 10" woofer and will put to shame most floorstanders.Dynaudio Focus 140 (used). Again, a stand mount speaker, but sounds bigger than many floorstanders.Monitor Audio RX6 or RX8 (new)... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? Elizabeth has an excellent point. HOWEVER, your system can greatly exacerbate this problem. If you have a brutally honest, hyper detailed system, then you are just getting what you paid for. On the bright side, it's great for demoing the subtle di... | |
| nad m3 vs m2 Probably very few people have heard the M2. It's too new to the market. However, there is a used one for sale right now. You could snatch it up and always resell if you don't like it. You'll likely get all your money back.I'm a huge NAD fan myself... | |

| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. Marty, well said. I totally agree. However, I think that most audio hobbyist are balancing both interests. They are pursuing ulitimate accuracy, but they are also pursuing musical enjoyment. I mean if you've got zero interest in musical enjoyment ... | |
| How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1 Dj,Buy a used pair here. You can sell them for what you pay. But you won't sell them. I'm not speaking off the cuff here. I've spent hundreds of hours with them and many other speakers. These are pretty special. I do think the C1s are better, but ... | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 Why not buy Hieule5s Excite 16s. He's got a basically new pair for sale at $1100. Or, since you're in Canada, there's a pair of Audience 52se speakers that have been sitting for sale for awhile. That's a very nice speaker with the contour drivers.... | |
| How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1 HiI am a very happy owner of S1.4s. Saying the S1.4s are only 60% of the C1s sound is ridiculous. The S1.4s use very similar technology to the C1s. The S1.4s are shockingly good. I'd say it's more like 95% of the C1s and betters the C1s in the bas... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adiago vs. ATC SCM40 I use to own the Spendor A6. Fantastic speaker. Outstanding resolution and lifelike accuracy. Acoustic instruments are dead on. I personally need more bass than than produce. The bass never satisfied me unless I cranked them up louder than my typi... | |
| mani 2 speakers with bryston Hi, I currently also have a 4b sst2 and BP6 and I'm using Dyaudio Contour S1.4s and I think this is very similar to the totem mani. I suspect the mani would work great, but I have not tried it. However, if possible I cannot recommend the S1.4 high... | |
| Active speakers. What to choose? If you demoed the product at that dealer and used a lot of his time, then you owe him something for that service. It's wrong to price shop AFTER you have used his services to make your selection. On the other hand, I would tell him you want to buy... | |
| $1700 floorstanders The NAD 272 can easily power ATC SCM11s. The SCM11s are power hungry, but the NAD amp has bags of dynamic headroom. No worries at all. There are two barely used pairs of SCM 11s on audiogon right now. Like I said, you will only miss out on the bas... | |
| $1700 floorstanders In that price range, I'd recommend the following. New: Monitor Audio RX6 (RX8 is too bassy). RX6 is one of the best value for money speakers on the market period. If you want full range, these will give it to you in spades.Used: Dynaudio Focus 140... | |
| Is switching from B&W 805S to B&W CM9 a good idea? The CM9s would be awesome for a system that is mostly home theater. Actually much better than the 805s in my opinion. They CM9s are far less reserved than the 805s which I think will really suit HT. | |
| Is switching from B&W 805S to B&W CM9 a good idea? The CM9s are very good for the money. Very high value. I use to own the CM7s and the CM9s are better in every way. With that said, they are very different than your 805s. If you love your 805s, you will find the CM9s quite a big adjustment. You sh... |
