| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities My impressions of JBL L300 were very positive.I understand why some people fall for them.They are musical and have very sweet vintage(still quite refine and not exceptionally over colored) sound that suits classic rock and jazz. Easy on ears. Big ... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities After a while coming back to speaker listeningThis time i am going to listen to vintage JBL L300.Never heard this speaker before.Any opinions ? | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Hi, do you have any expirience with HPS-938 (Hyperion) spekers ? Do they need a large room to breathe ?How good they are for classical music ? | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Correction:===========This is the reason i try to find a SPEAKER IN A SET that i like, that would sound approximately close to my subjective "perfect" and then i can buy this speaker and build a set around him sooner or later. At least, i know the... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities One of the problems is to get know the equipment.It is almost impossible from one-time listening.To know the characeter of the speaker, you need to listen to it with different cables and amplifiers at least.It is not rare that dealer pairs one typ... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Thanks, Lloydelee21.Good points.I don't know exactly what you mean by linearity, but i guess it is an uniform ability to be precise over all of the frequency range. For some reason many people from some point on with their equipment prefer "precis... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Also, for a moment esl63 seems to be easier on my ears then a 989 at the store.Again, probably the break-in issue... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Comparing to Martin Logan combos i think a better dynamics/bass could be obtained by matching 988/63 with a woofer then having 989. Not sure how they will work together. Never tried it. | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities This weekend i was finally able to listen to Quad 989The setup included Quad2-40 mono blocks and Quad99CDP - basic cd+preamp from Quad. The speakers were just few days old, so those are definitely "first" impressions. First of all - the look. I di... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities No news so far.I took a "vacation" from speaker listening :-)Quads are at the shop being break in by the dealer.Didn't make it to listen to SF Guarnieri so far.Probably do it over this weekend or during next week.Bottom line, lazy "kid" messing up... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities to Bwcanuck:Yes, it is EXACTLY what i mean. It has nothing to do with SPL.My room is small, about 15-16sq. m, so i don't have the SPL problem with ESL63My problem is that dynamic range, or contrast, or bit-depth. It is like an .jpeg artifact due t... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Hi, pplI am going to listen to SF Guarneri (i think it is an older homage) speaker this week.Yesterday i was listening to the very basic Vandersteen Model 1 and some DIY horn based on full range Fostex FE206E driver.In Vandersteen i could clearly ... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities QUAD reliability problem is indeed an important point... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities I felt that ESL63 doesn't have enough bass and not enough slam/dynamic range to play the rock to my satisfaction. And i am not talking about crazy SPLs or hard metal rock. That is the reason i am prompting to bigger (hopefully more dynamically and... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Do you feel like the ESL2805 have enough bass ?I would expect it to be very similar to 988 and theoretically to 63 in the low end because they still use 4 panels (no extra bass panels, those only added to ESL2905 or 989) |
