| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp No question in my mind- look for an LFD and be done w/ it.I've never heard a better sounding integrated amplifier - EVER. It is just so 'right' in so many ways. If i were you, i'd also look into Sugden gear. I don't have personal experience w/ it,... | |
| matching the Arros I have not owned the Arros, however I have owned a pair of StudioLab Reference 1's, which have very similar specs (4.5 inch woofer, low-ish sensitivity rating)...Had them paired up w/ the Unico for a period of time. Truth be told, if I could go ba... | |
| Unico vs. ASL AQ1003DT Thank you for your input. It's too bad i'm not familiar w/ Ushers at all (although from what i've read, i'd venture to guess they'd be right up my alley).Perhaps the newer, DT version has improvements in the areas of weakness you've outlined, or a... | |
| studiolab speakers That CAN'T be good for walk-in business. Hmmm... I was really, REALLy hoping to have a listen to their Reference Protege speakers. I will have a look for the thread at Canuck Audio Mart - thanks for that info. | |
| NHT Classic Three vs. GMA Europa vs. Epos M12 as far as i remember, the M12 has a much faster/ better midrange. Vocals can be stunning. NHT classic 3 - I have only heard them twice, but they seem to be 'darker' sounding, heavier bass (perhaps less accurate than the M12). Highs may seem rolled... | |
| Found the receiver, now on to the speakers... I'd have to concur w/ the suggestions of NHT or Wharfedale speakers... I'm not overly familiar w/ the SB3's, but i do know they sound 'bigger' and have deeper bass than their size implies. They also sound 'full-bodied', which really would work wel... | |
| Just moved - sound destroyed Thanks tons for your suggestions, guys... i'm going to print this thread out for my dealer to have a 'one-over'. Again, he will be coming over to my place at some point in the near future... he assures me it's all a setup issue. At some point, he ... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm I like the Epos for various reasons. It has excellent pace, rhythm and timing, puts out a great, clear image that belies its size and has great imaging. It is a fantastic speaker for vocals and, although it doesn't go down too deep in the bass dep... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm i briefly listened to paradigm's studio 20 and studio 40. Fuzzy, lacking in detail, lacking in sounstage, no air... I can't believe that some ppl find them such good 'value'. I, for one, certainly do NOT. then again, everyone hears differently and... | |
| intergrated for rock and dance and blues The LFD is the best of the bunch here. When listening to the Neat Elite SE's and it was just a wonderful, toe-tapping experience. I'm sure that amp would match well with many of the Neat Acoustics speakers available (Petite, Mystique, Elite)If I h... | |
| hard 's' Gregmdo you mean to say you 'wouldn't be surprised if it were inherent to my tweeters'? | |
| hard 's' Thanks for your responses so far, everyone. I've played around with positioning quite a bit. If i toe the speakers out more, there is a lack of focus in the middle and the image seems overly 'spread out'. When I toe them in more, the image just co... | |
| Integrated Amp Recommendations if the I30 is anything like the A30.1 was, then strongly consider this amp. Of the brands you've mentioned, the Primare's sound has the best balance of characteristics audiophiles look for in components... it's quiet, clean, powerful, detailed, ye... | |
| Please compare the following headphones I know the AKG K240 and I can tell you they sound quite 'flat'... I believe they are good for someone who is DJ'ing perhaps. Although this one is rugged, there are far more dynamic and transparent headphones out there. I don't have extensive liste... | |
| Ruark Accolade - how good are they? i don't know about the speakers you mentioned, but I CAN tell you that I heard a pair of Sabre III's at a local dealer and they sounded fan-freakin-tastic. Sound belies the size of the speaker in a big way. Crisp, clean, articulate......don't know... |
