| Potential new room, will this work well? Chadnliz,Careful with how you make it 8' smaller, you could be right on or very close to two dimensions sharing integer multiples. That means you will have some very large reinforcement modes at the frequencies where they overlap (or come close to... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? Personally, I wouldn't want to have to upgrade everything at the same time. With separate pieces, I can update piecemeal any time I find something interesting. | |
| Revel Salons vs. Wilson Sophias Cincy,Thanks for the compliments. I'm looking forward to seeing what you are having done in your Rives Audio designed space. I can tell you from my personal experiences with the room so far, that the difference in sound quality is tremendous betwe... | |
| Revel Salons vs. Wilson Sophias The thought occurred to me Cincy. Did you have a trained Wilson dealer voice those Watt Puppy 7 speakers for your room? They are very specific in terms of their placement needs. I have heard people complain about the tweeters sound on the 7s befor... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Freemand,I said in my last post to you, "Besides any failings of human nature..." Meaning, yes, it is a human condition. I don't think it applies to all things though, as no one of consequence in my life is impressed by name brand hifi equipment. ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Jmcgrogan2,Yada yada yada...I get it Jmcgtogan2, I don't like your speakers so you continue to make red herring posts attacking me personally and my posts. Perhaps you should take your own advice, since your posts so far, except for one, have noth... | |
| Revel Salons vs. Wilson Sophias Cincy,I am surprised you feel that way about the bass on the Revels though... I thought that was one of the true strengths the Revels had. I have two Sub 30s in my system and they are both fast and tight. They also integrate well with any speakers... | |
| Revel Salons vs. Wilson Sophias FYI, the tweeter is completely different between the Watt Puppy 7 and the Watt Puppy 8 (as well as the Sophia 2). The crossover was also completely altered (making a Watt Puppy 7 comparison to an 8 or Sophia 2 sort of moot). Also some other change... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list FYI, I recommend that people should demo Vandersteens all the time (the last time was a week or so ago on the Stereophile forum). Just because I don't like them, doesn't mean people shouldn't hear them. Since so many people do like them, and becau... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Are you a Wilson dealer or something Jkalman? Why are you pushing Wilson so hard?Why enter the thread and try to change it's direction?Nope. I'm not an audio dealer at all. I have sold a few pieces of my old equipment here on Audiogon though when ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Jkalman, Being able to mod a component of lesser value to perform better or as good then more expensive components is been widely known by many audiophiles who want more better sound for less. Look at all the forums and hype on modding a oppo 981 ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list BTW, I didn't realize it until I just read the Vandersteen website, they use Kevlar driver material on the 5a. No wonder I felt them to be grainy sounding in comparison to the Wilsons. I had a similar problem with the B&W 802D Kevlar cone mate... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Jkalman, I'm glad that you enjoy your Wilson's, but understand that others have different musical tastes/values. I would choose the Vandersteen 5A over the Wilsons anyday, but I understand that others will feel differentlyYes, and that is exactly ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list Chadnliz,They sound like cheap studio monitors "to me" in comparison to other speakers I heard at the show (including those Dynaudios). I'm sorry if that upsets you... You don't have to agree with me, that is fine. I'll live.I'm not the one making... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list BTW, when you consider the studio monitor speakers used by most sound engineers, and how those monitors sound quality wise, you really don't want to recreate what they originally heard during the mastering process IMO. Often really crappy speakers... |
