| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? My first pair of stereo speakers were a pair of Jensen DUal Cone 12" mounted in large ceramic drain pipes with 3/4 plywood caps on each end of the drain pipes. Those were followed by a pair AR4x's in college, then by a pair of Larger Advents (the ... | |
| What type of Amp for Ohm Walsh F-5015s? @michiganbuckeye I am quite late to this party, but that’s what happens when you find a thread that was started a few years ago. I too am interested in the current model F5 with the built in subs as a possible solution for my new home theater room... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @waytoomuchstuff I agree with you there, I spent quite a few years in SCCA chasing whatever flavor appealed to me at the time and it was mandatory to do my own work on the cars due to the cost of farming it out. It didn't help the cost of having a... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I have come to realize that music can be enjoyed on almost anything from a portable radio to a pair of EV Patricians or whatever.... but getting to true perfection is as unreachable a goal as going faster than the speed of light...and the closer w... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @waytoomuchstuff I had to laugh at your wrench tossing story...way too close to the reality of most of us who work on cars because we have to rather than doing it for fun. There was a time when I actually enjoyed turning the wrenches and found joy... | |
| legacy speakers As I am 10+ years late to this particular party, I have a question for those who may have had recent experience dealing with Legacy Audio. Can their speakers be ordered directly or must you go thru an affiliated dealer? I would much rather deal wi... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? So many different takes on what serves as a baseline system I am actually a bit surprised...Try going cold turkey without your tunes for a few weeks as I did after our house fire, and it helps adjust your minimum standards or at least helps really... | |
| I found audio nirvana.... This is beginning to sound like something I am experiencing now at the desktop level. And I admit a certain amount of confusion due to the experience. Let me explain, I currently have 4 systems of varying complexity and capability but have found m... | |
| Ohm Walsh Tall Speakers near Washington, DC? @jollypioneer Message received and that sounds good. In answer to your question I have no room treatments applied as this is temporary living quarters and I want my deposit back when I leave. So you will hear them in a normal room with basic equip... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid I too am speaker shopping...and very afraid...I think I will have to go for some company that offers a home trial, which is the only way to truly audition a speaker. If it wont work at home, it doesnt work at all. So that puts me in a quandary. I ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Tall Speakers near Washington, DC? I have a pair of walsh 2000s and like them very much, live near Lynchburg VA so it would be a bit of a hike from DC but would be happy to let you listen. Its a simple system with with a computer as the source, an emotiva preamp/dac and a VTV 500 w... | |
| Subwoofer with XLR I/O Check out the SVS subs. Not only do they perform well but integration into a given system is much easier due to their bluetooth app that runs on your phone. This allows adjusting the included PEQ function, drive levels, phase and crossover frequen... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @moonwatcher I can't speak to whether Eric is high strung or not, he and I exchanged an email or two and he seemed normal enough in that limited contact. @jayctoy I have seen other favorable comments about Rel so they are definitely worth checkin... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @deep_333 Thanks for the link for the rythmik F18 sub that looks like a solid possibility. A pair of those should do a decent job of energizing my theater room. Certainly gonna put those on the list. The ascendos, if you look at the specs are 15 d... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @jayctoy Hey thanks for that Jay. I have read this entire thread and considered advice given by those that were kind enough to respond to my questions. I also spent quite a bit of time on Tekton's website looking at their various models and my se... |
