| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 "My ideal price is about $1,500"There are several new and used speakers in this size class that are very nice, some available now or recently on Agon. For Rock, I suggest you look at the following, some are better placed close the rear wall than o... | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 OK, if you are considering the ProAc, you might as well consider the Spender SA and the small Harbeths as well. I am not that crazy about the Paradigm Studio 20, prefer the small Signatures or PSB Synchrony monitors. While on The Great White North... | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl If you haven't already pulled the trigger, I would hold off on the KAB until you have made sure mechanical/design solutions have been exhausted.1) A slight variation on what Elizabeth is suggesting above, I would try a very heavy wood or concrete ... | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 If you like slightly detuned British studio monitors like the PMC's, you should also listen to ATC monitors, something like the SCM 11. | |
| Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i Thanks for the update. I have a really lively room and will be looking for a good speaker match with my Cambridge CDP. Interested in your experiences. | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Cool - I like the ARC-Dynaudio match very much. Someday you might want to try ARC pre and DAC too. | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Fredorama,Did you come up with plan B? I realize I posted recently on this subject on AC, and had forgotten, didn't recognize this was a related thread. Dooh! | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? "try before you buy"Worked for me. Trick is to find a dealer willing to work with you. | |
| Upgrade with best price/performance ratio Yes, speaker positioning and appropriate connection to floor - very high on the price/performance list (very low p:p ratio). I also felt replacing all fuses in my amp with HiFi Tuning silver fuses and adding aftermarket PC to my CDP provided big p... | |
| Upgrade with best price/performance ratio Similar story, best price/performance ratio: Blutack on shelf supports to isolate wooden shelves. Second best, powercord for my amp made with parts from Home Depot ($17). Third best, Fusion/Auvio interconnects from Radio Shack ($15-20). Honorable ... | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference Speakers- Thanks again! | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? Ack,I cannot dispute your experience, and I am sure you heard what you heard. My experience was different. I did a fairly extensive test of different Shunyata power cables with my CDP played through a Moon and Dynaudio system that was highly resol... | |
| My System....where to start on the upgrade path Catfishbob,You may want to put your amp in your car and drive the 12 hours again to the distributors house to listen to it powering the S-HL5's. Or, just wait until a pair come up used, buy them and try them at your home. My guess is that should y... | |
| My System....where to start on the upgrade path Catfishbob,The P3ESR's are out for your room size. I really like the newer Compact 7's - I have been impressed by their inherent musicality and balance. They may be a bit bass shy in your room, and it is my belief - but not proven out by extensive... | |
| Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers? I think you are discounting the effect of "guest" toddlers who may not be as well "trained" as your children. I had a stylus destroyed and damaged driver cones from one little "friend" in particular when my kids were little. An ounce of prevention... |
