| Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 vs Special 25? i think you are making the right decision---waiting for C1 to pop up will give you more. | |
| Marten Coltrane Alto speakers if you call a speaker driver manufacturer, they will tell you 400-500 hrs of break in is bogus. try it. | |
| Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice I would call Spectral. | |
| Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 vs Special 25? the Special 25s have amped up treble as noted in two online reviews with measurements fwiw. weird as dyn usually is not noted for that | |
| MBL alternatives Ralph- have you heard the T-5s, the smaller version?Cheers,KeithR | |
| Marten Coltrane Alto speakers i concur. i'm not waiting a year for something to sound good. | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? James63- "here, here" The Wilson Sophia was 12.5k when the Alto was released. Revel Studio same price.Even Dynaudios competing C4 is 18k, 25% less then the current Focal---for a european speaker with just as good cabinets and drivers. SophiaII and... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? sorry- there is a pair on a'gon saying Alto msrp is 18 and another at 22k.since the Mezzo is the former Alto, you are saying that the new generation is almost 3x the old, so yes i believe that is relevant. | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? so its gonna be 36k for a pair of the new Altos then? (18k current x 2) that's insanity. won't sell at all in the US.even the mezzo was only like 12k right? | |
| Anybody Into St. Germain? i would add to that Air and Thievery Corporation. Groove Armada is more funky/housy, but super cool too.Stereolab if you want to go a bit older school. | |
| Emm Labs SE combo versus Wadia 581-SE I owned an 861SE and it sounded perfect out of the box. the 1000 hours is bs. i put on several thousand hours and my system never got better.i ran it direct to my speakers and kept it on 24/7 as i used it as a preamp for multiple sources. i replac... | |
| Rowland JRDG 501 and Wilson Audio I found the 201s had no soundstage or depth on the Sophias. Quite stale/sterile sounding and suffering in dynamics. I had Nuforces Ref 9s on my Sophias that sounded phenomenal. As I said earlier, ymmv. | |
| Rowland JRDG 501 and Wilson Audio I had 201s on Sophias and didn't like the combo at all. YMMV. | |
| Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's I heard them with Red Dragon digital amps and modwright preamp and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about---but it was at a show, so show conditions not withstanding. good, but certainly not great. | |
| Dyanaudio Air i would go to pro audio sites for better recommendations. what i've heard is they aren't very good and most prefer the lower B series. |
