| Dissapointed with my new speakers Another speaker that might be a stretch new but is gorgeous looking and sounding is the Quad 21L2. These little two ways look like they came out of the Steinway piano production facility and have a marvelously balanced sound to go with the stunnin... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Agreed. | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Part of the problem is the Klipsch speakers are super efficient, so comparing their performance to the B&W straight across is like tying two arms and a leg behind your amplifier's back. Not trying to defend the B&W 600's, but this is not a... | |
| looking for performance speaker recommendations More food for thought:Given your suggestion about the Energy brands, you could get a new Energy 7.1 speaker system consisting of two Energy C200 bookshelf speakers as fronts, four Energy C100 bookshelf speakers as satellites, Energy C-C100 center ... | |
| looking for performance speaker recommendations Here are some more ideas for larger and more expensive bookshelf speakers systems. All of these manufacturers make serviceable to very good subs and center speakers to go with these great bookshelf systems. If the price new is too steep, look for ... | |
| Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372? as interim amp You cannot go wrong on any of these - Peachtree is wonderful as well. I had similar experience as described by Johnnyb53 with their lesser model. In any case - they all deserve an upgraded power cable - nothing too fancy needed, but would definite... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers The Mapleshade folks suggest you should use cones between speakers and platforms, and platforms and the floor = twice isolated. I would just experiment to see what works best. Instead of buying four sets of cones right away if you don't already ha... | |
| Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372? as interim amp Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372 - take the CambridgeCambricge 840v2 vs new NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amplifier - would be a tougher choice. Depends on what you like - The Cambridge is going to be a little more dynamic but is very natural and neutral soun... | |
| looking for performance speaker recommendations Tip, hang speakers upside down so that the tweeters are on the bottom, angled down towards you. The closer to the height of the TV for the fronts, the better as noted above.Here are some good choices for complete systems:Epos AVS 5.1 System - Wow!... | |
| Recommended new speakers for under $500? Mr_macgee,Cool suggestion. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Sebraasch,Your room's floor structure is well suited to benefit from wood platforms given my experience and the experience of those above. I tend to agree with Chashas1 about the glass casters, but am also a great believer in trying things out for... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? Lacee,OK - that is helpful. I get what you are trying to say, but still think the "Wall Plugger" concept as you articulate it doesn't exactly fit to world of audiophile AC management.1. Direct "wall plugging" is not necessarily a low tech or "anti... | |
| Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated The grey face is integral part of Contour speaker. Look the Dynaudio Focus 220 II or Focus 360 as potential alternatives - more classic wood finish and Danis good looks - very neutral (not rolled off) sounding with quality electronics. These speak... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Agree with all Johnnyb53 says. I would also suggest lugging them out to the room where your larger Klipsch reside and trying them in that system to see how they do there. - could be the current room size is too small for the 603s to open up, or th... | |
