| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Have to chime in for VA speakers. One of the reasons for buying my Bach Grands was their reproduction of mids - strings, vocals, horns - the best in their price range IMO. Add to that amazing soundstaging and musicality with great detail for a war... | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? I'll have to say:Nickel Creek 'Why should the Fire Die?'CPR (featuring David Crosby and his son)The Shins 'Wincing the Night Away'Wilco 'Sky Blue Sky' | |
| All about the bass Revels are not mentioned much anymore but if you can give them a listen. I heard the F32 (I believe that was the model - sorry, don't remember what they were powered by) in a system and was very impressed with the tight, clean bass produced. Don't... | |
| Speaker Recomendations $3000 BTW, just noticed a pair of Bach grands on Agon for $1,395. That's quite a price! | |
| Speaker Recomendations $3000 Was on pretty much the same search as you earlier this year - wanted small footprint floorstander, gorgeous wood cabinetry, and non-fatiguing sound. My 3 favorites were VA Bach Grand, Quad 22L, and Dynaudio Focus 220. All can be had for under 3k (... | |

| Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA Ipous, I am using an Adcom 555 II amp with Adcom GTP 500 II pre. Recently I added a Rega Planet 2000 and Eichmann Express 4 speaker cables. ( I guess I should put this in my system profile, huh?) The Adcom has loads of power but can be a bit heavy... | |
| Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA My VA Bach Grands are excellent for vocals, horns, and piano. Great richness and timbre with detail also. Great recordings sound lifelike and not-so-great ones sound good too as the Bachs are a somewhat forgiving speaker. The only issue is if you ... | |
| Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.? shoe, I have the same problem in my living room setup - bright room (room treatments out of the question!) and Adcom 555II amp which I tend to agree with the general consensus is on the bright side. I chose to look for new speakers and my two favo... |
