Epos M12 Vs. M12.2
I guess the jury is still out on this one... 
Epos M12 Vs. M12.2
any takers? 
Unico Vs. Jolida JD1501RC
the speakers i'm using are StudioLab Reference 1 made in Toronto, Canada. They use a 4.5 inch peerless midbass driver and a 3/4 inch SEAS tweeter. Rated at 85.5 db/w/m, stable load. Biwireable (which is how i'm running them right now). These speak... 
'lateral' move - help
where do i find the plans for a decent bass trap? what works? what doesn't? I would want to build one that's relatively straightforward to build.I need one that's relatively small...my room's already cramped as it is, which was one of the reasons ... 
'lateral' move - help
thanks, Zaikesman,It's relieving, to a degree, that you so quickly and adamantly state that I should have more patience and allow break-in, which leads me to believe that there could be significant change. My head's not throbbing as much now... :)...

not a single one of you has heard the StudioLabs?You're all missing out!!! 
what's my problem?
Rsbeck,thanks for your advice regarding cables etc. I, too, believe that the cable issue (while not completely irrelevant and without merit) is somewhat overrated.don't get me wrong...i believe cables are important...but I really don't think they ... 
what's my problem?
Maybe around 1000USD or so...give or take...willing to look at used speakers...lists of monitors anyone? (i think monitors would be better for me than floor standers) 
what's my problem?
well, i'm no fan of triangle speakers (there is just something that is not 'uniform' about their sound)...NHT 2.5i's are not meant to be against the wall b/c unlike their bigger brothers, they are ported.If you guys think the Unico is worth keepin... 
what's my problem?
well, the speakers have been pulled out into the room as much as they can be. No room to pull them out any farther. I have another pair of cables that i could try...the MIT Tmax one wire (i think that's its name)...not sure if they're any better. ... 
bookshelf to floorstanding-real upgrade?
Let me tell you...and please listen...first and foremost, I suspect that the Paradigms won't do it for you. NHT, in general, makes much more realistic sounding speakers than Paradigm (paradigm fans, don't crucify me).Now, back to your actual quest... 
unico with nht 2.5i's
Thanks, lohkkw@tm.net.my , for your suggestion in keeping the Unico. This is exactly what i'm going to do. I'll let it burn in and then try some new tubes...but you're right, I WILL keep the thing... I took home a Roksan Kandy MkIII (which i thoug... 
unico with nht 2.5i's
Preamp tubes, to my knowledge, are not as 'susceptible' to deterioration as amplifier tubes. According to Unison Research, these tubes will last 15,000 hours or so. That's quite a long time. Regarding leaving the integrated on constantly, I suspec... 
unico with nht 2.5i's
well, the unit's been on for a couple days now...bass has tightened up and it's getting even more dimensional...might just have to change my mind and keep the thing!!Any commentary on the unico from anyone?thanks
