| McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac? Jim, I heard the JC1'a were abit lean. How would you describe their sound, and can you compare to say, Levinson or Mac house sound? | |
| McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac? Anyone able to comment on DNA500? Will it match well with Salon 2? How does it compare to the Levinson and Mac amps? | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Hah, newbee, I think your right. Audiophiles would be EQ'ing every song, LOL!!! However, I agree it could be an answer to the issue at hand. What is the so-called "presence" region frquency-wise? | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Nab, are you going to sell the 802 diamonds? | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Hesson11: Hey Bob, I agree about the tone controls. In fact, maybe that's an answer all by itself. Maybe all we need is old fashioned "tilt" or "presence" boost to make the unlistenable once again listenable, even on a very revealing, unforgiving ... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Sounds real, sorry, been working like crazy, traveling all over east coast. Have dropped in to read responses quickly but no time to chat. I'm going to give a listen to the Sonus Faber and the Zu Def Mk4 (if I can find it to listen to). Like some ... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 gandme, if you are in NYC/LI area, feel free to listen to my Salon 2's (and buy them if you'd like :) | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Thanks Irv. Interesting how it played out for you. I got the Salon2 as a full range answer (and sold my JL F112 assuming it would be, ugh). If it's not, I'm happy to go the sub route, but probably don't need the Salon 2 as IMO it becomes overkill ... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Irv, thanls for the recommendation. I think thats a good investment and I will try it. I have listened with grills on and off. The adjustments simply increase/decrease tweeter and decrease bass for close to wall placement. My issue is low bass and... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 A contrarian viewpoint to the consensus here. So I am a B&W fanboy, but as I stated earlier in this thread, I was really impressed with the Salon 2 in several reasonably long dealer sessions. Well, lo and behold, a good deal came up on a used ... | |
| Are the JL Fathom subs really that good.... Edattalo, correct me if I'm misunderstanding you, but after comparing the two and finding that the Velodyne set up quicker, had higher sound level and better low frequency extension, your friend wanted your JL F112??? I dont understand. | |
| B&W N802 as an upgrade to 804S? N802 will be huge step up in clarity, soundstage/imaging, and bass response, but, as others have suggested, may even be harsher in highs if that problem exists in your current system. 804S was supposed to have better tweeter than Nautilus series, ... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range Pkelly, was that the new 802 Diamond you heard? what made the Focal better? | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Nab, I see your point on the 802 vs 800 if we are talking used. As for your in home audition, did you have the 802D or new 802 Diamond? New Diamond is supposed to be significantly better than previous 802D. I too am a B&W fanboy, but the Salon... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 P59, glad you are enjoying the Revels. I've heard them and think they are great. May wind up getting a used pair of them myself soon (checking out a few different options, including Genesis 5.3). Anyway, As when this thread originally appeared, I ... |
