| Need Center and Surrounds to Match Focal Sopra 3 Funny, in an odd way, you mentioned Paradigm. My main speakers are Sopra 2s. I use a Paradigm Prestige 55c as a center channel. I don't see any need to change it. It works perfectly for my needs and the lack of matching (which I doubt I would ... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Sorry to hear of your doubts. As other stated, I would give it more time to see if your opinion changes. I have fairly new Sopra 2's (450 plus hours). I was concerned they may sound bright in my space, but they are absolutely not. I really lik... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers They are a great sounding speaker, and IMO a nice upgrade. The speakers have a wonderful clarity, and are not bright sounding. They do okay close to to the wall, so smaller rooms can be okay. I am just not sure how small. They also do well at ... | |
| Have you heard these 3, Kef Reference 1, Kanta 2 and Sopra 1s. The Reference 1 are likely to getting the META upgrade this year. So either a great time to buy the current Reference line or not too long a wait for the upgrade. I think the REF 1 is great and is not fatiguing with the gear I heard. Thank you for... | |
| Small Sub, NHT Sub 8 or Velodyne MiniVee I went with the Velodyne MiniVee. The MiniVee is really impressive. It easily outperforms the NHT Sub8. The sound has more volume, while still be tight and clear. In my room it seems to be perfect with LS50. It adds richness to the lower end and i... | |
| Small Sub, NHT Sub 8 or Velodyne MiniVee Thank you for the responses and the correction on the terminology. In terms of the soundstage, the Kefs sound great. It is the fact that lower output from the sub doesnt feel as expansive as the rest of the music. If I raised the volume of the sub... | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? I appreciate the responses. I did look up the Clones site. It appears they are like many integrated units with only analog inputs. My intent is to have an integrated with digital inputs, preferably with 2 optical inputs. Thanks again. | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? I was able to see and hear the Hegel H80 this weekend. The demo, however, wasn't great. I heard it briefly with large floorstanding speakers instead of monitor. Some questions went unanswered. Are the discrete codes for inputs to program remote (H... | |
| ARC CD3 MKII vs. Ayre CX7e I have heard both players, but only briefly on the same setup. I think they are both excellent players, and it comes down to preference and system matching.I now own the Ayre cx-7e, but could easily be happy with the cd3 (albeit I don't have the s... | |
| Best CDP in the $4k to $8k range I find the player has great sense of balance with great inner detail and nice highs without being forward or etched. Its a player that lets you just enjoy the music. My second choice would be AR CD3. I think its a great player. It may err on the s... | |
| ATC SCM-35 I thought it was a good pairing. It provided a dynamic setup with nice detail and bass response. I also heard the speakers through the ATC integrated. I thought they were very similar with the Cary having a slightly richer lower midrange, and the ... | |
| PMC vs. ATC I have listened to both PMC and ATC (albeit smaller speakers) and to me their presentations are more similar than not. They are both high quality speakers with excellent, detailed presentations. I would really question how someone could have such ... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I have been disappointed, updating from B&W 802, series III to B&W N804. It has taught me never to buy speakers that I do not hear first. It was my third set of B&Ws so I didn't think it would be a problem.Room issues and associated co... | |
| Difference between Cary 303/200 and 306/200? and I prefer the 306/200. While both players are very good, they do have a different presentation and tonal balance.The 303/200 is a very musical player that brings music to life. Its not the last player for detail or neutrality, but its one of th... | |
| Von Schweikert Subwoofers I have the Velodyne DD10, and use it in a less than ideal room (12 x12, opening to a small sunparlor). Its used for 2-channel only and it adds a layer of warmth and complexity my monitors were missing. The software is incredible and easy to use. I... |
