| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @4krowme , you mentioned Bryston, check out their active speakers: https://bryston.com/active-loudspeakers/ | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @russ69 , IDK about choices being limited, maybe not as common though, yes. You have the pro gear and you have the new "simpli-fi gear" being offered now by more vendors all the time which bundles everything into the speakers like these: ... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @lonemountain +10, that is a lot of great info, are you an engineer or designer? Interesting point about speaker and amp designers as my vendor, Paradigm, does happen to make both (Anthem amps and Paradigm are owned by the same group). | |
| What is Your End Game System? @pvmike , I like it, might as well set the bar high right? | |
| What is Your End Game System? @overthemoon , as long as you have a 30 day return with your investment it is fun to try. If I were starting over I would do the room treatments before anything else, then the power conditioners, and then the IC's. When I did my build I did those ... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @onhwy61 , +1, I agree with all of the advantages you mention about active speakers as well as the space and savings on separate amplifiers and speaker cables. Each of these speakers are internally biamped and I have a lot of speakers. It wouldn't... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @invalid , the active speakers have the amps inside, like a studio monitor. They have both XLR and RCA inputs, a high pass filter that can be engaged when using them with a sub, and knobs to adjust the volume and contour bass and treble. The contr... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen Each designer has to work with what they got, for Michael, passive must be better for his designs. | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen I own both active and passive speakers. If you listen to acoustic music at low volumes I don’t think you could tell the difference. Dynamic music and music at higher volumes sounds better to my ears with active speakers. This is the active speaker... | |
| What is Your End Game System? @overthemoon , your system looks awesome, love the attention to the power cables and conditioner . What is that white panel on the left wall, a room treatment? | |
| What is Your End Game System? @ghdprentice , awesome pics in your profile. Your headphone setup looks incredible with those big tube amps. I see you went with a tasteful Persian rug that doubles as room treatments, nice. Of the systems you have posted which one gets the most u... | |
| What is Your End Game System? @mikelavigne , OMG, your system makes the systems at CEDIA seem entry level. I noticed you use Auralex T-fusors in the front, did you fill them with rockwool of polyfil? I use the Geofusors on the ceiling You must get room service all the time bec... | |
| What is Your End Game System? @holmz , great point about putting it together thoughtfully. When I initially invested in higher end gear I bought what I felt was the best fit for my needs because I new it would likely be a lifetime investment. I have made two major upgrades sin... | |
| Anybody have experience with Totem “The One” and ParadigmSignature S2v2? Yes, that forte will run the totems and the sub and when the ARC calibrates it then you are going to amazed how well the sub blends with the speakers. You can also use the RCA inputs to connect a CD player or a turntable to that amp. You know when... | |
| What is Your End Game System? @ghdprentice , photos posted, thanks for asking. I'll see if I can post some frequency response measurements too later. |
