| Looking for "realistic" speakers Now that Sonus Faber's Olympica line has replaced their Cremona line, you can find lightly used Cremona M's (a $10K floorstander) in excellent condition for around $6K. There are two such A-gon listings right now (I have no affiliation with either... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 crossover capacitor improvement? 12-23-13: JordiThe upgrade requires 115.8mf not 116.8 as stated above and a 10mf and 1.4uf inductor. Best is to use alpha core inductor and 3 sonicap 33mf a 10mf and 6.8mf to create your 115.8. You will not fit this in the panel base and must do i... | |

| What's wrong with my almost new speakers? 03-01-14: Audiolabyrinththis is funny!, where is the op?, alot of you gave your opinions only to be for nothing!Check the OP's threads history. He's a drive-by poster. He never returns to a thread he started. | |
| Maggie MMG versus Ls3/5a Mapman says MMG are good on transients and attack, but Polarin says they are not great for rock because they lack weight and dynamics and Rpfef says they have greater impact (than the LS3).How do I tie these opinions together to get an overview.... | |

| Full-range recommendations I also agree with Phasecorrect: although I suggested the LSA 2.1 Statements, your situation is practically begging for a sub or two. Your current speakers are excellent from around 50 Hz up and your room is not very large. A viable solution is to ... | |
| Full-range recommendations How about LSA's LSA2.1 Statement? Price is right, has nice smooth airy tweeter, and reviews indicate it has excellent bass extension. A pair of 6-1/2" woofers per side is about as much woofer action as an 11x14 room could handle, and I have Mirage... | |
| JBL L100s - Power? For a long time I couldn't cozy up to NAD for one reason or another, mostly being underwhelmed. But now I seriously doubt NAD is currently having QA problems. For one, Audio Advisor is a dealer of a lot of NAD products, and if they were unreliab... | |
| Speaker recommendations for large family room Audio Advisor has a sale on the MartinLogan Descent through Sunday. The sale price is a bit over your budget, but we're talking about a 3-driver $2200 sub marked down to within striking distance. I've found the higher end MartinLogan subs to be *r... | |
| JBL L100s - Power? The L100s are fairly sensitive. A lot of people rocked their dorm rooms and living rooms on around 50 wpc back in the '70s. It sort of depends on your room size. Today I'd go for an NAD integrated (e.g., 356BEE (80 wpc) or 375BEE (150 wpc)) and it... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? The recording is fine. Snare drum is clear and distinct, neither overdone nor recessed | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? With a 45' dimension, your room would be a good candidate for either some line array or omnidirectional speakers.Also, back when I was auditioning a pair of Mirage M5si's that I still have, I tried them with a couple of different amps. A big Sunfi... | |
| ADS L1590/2 vs Golden Ear Triton 7 I owned the L1590's little brother, the L1090 from 1987-1996, so I'm very familiar with the L-series ADS sound. I started shopping for new speakers in the $1500-2500 range last Fall. After auditioning the GoldenEar Triton 7 (twice), some heavy use... |
