| Yay or Nay If you enjoy what you have, I'd say Nay.The CAmbridge would sound different I am sure but not necessarily better.I tube DAC like mhdt Paradisea might be a more interesting alternative in that price range. You can roll different tubes with that uni... | |
| Speaker Help Required I have a similar setup but no similar problem, my sun room is 12'x 12' with catheral ceiling and opening on the right side. I have my equipment setup similarly, but no sub. I currently use Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors on stands there (see pic... | |
| Class A Amp OR, maybe a Musical Fidelity supercharger amp combined with a lower power Class A might be interesting. | |
| Class A Amp Ouch.If there is such a thing, better have deep pockets and keep tabs on your power bill.Class D/Ice Power would be a greener and more practical option I would think. | |
| new small room, big change What makes a speaker "musical" as opposed to "linear"? | |
| Speaker Help Required Maybe try placing a plant stand or some other item in the corner first to see if damping the corner solves the problem before dropping $350 on a high priced sonic obstacle. | |
| Speaker Help Required For a room like this with more difficult issues in locating speakers, clearly either Ohm Micro Walsh Talls ($1000) or 100s ($1700).The wide dispersion, more omnidirectional dispersion pattern on these help make speaker placement with good results ... | |
| new small room, big change Chadlesko,Even the small Dynaudios Contour 1.3's do need a good clean 60w/ch or better, be located at the correct height and need to be several feet away from walls and have room to breathe to sound best. If you can meet these requirements, they m... | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... Pedrillo,Your reaction to hearing MBL reminds me of my own reaction 30 years ago when I first heard Magnepan compared to box designs.Some designs are just so unique, for better or worse that they will always stand out in the crowd, either for bett... | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels Tobias,You're right, Triangle Titus can be biwired. I had forgotten. Same with Titus 202s I own. Probably also the case with Comete. | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... You might just need a good but smaller, more compact speaker design in a room that size. For Ohms, I'd try the Ohm Micro Walsh Talls in a room that size first, I think, particularly if you already have a sub that might be added. Ohm recommends the... | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels PEdrillo, If you think there is even a chance you might keep them, you should do the in-house audition of the Ohms...there is no risk involved if they do not work out. If your listening space is tight you might be satisfied with a pair of small Mi... | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... PEdrillo,Can you describe the room in question?Thanks. | |
| dbx 3BX III and turntables . . . do you use it? Use with vinyl is normal for those who use dbx range expanders but most vinyl lovers do not own one (they are not even made anymore) so it cannot be considered normal with vinyl lovers overall. | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels Whoops, sorry Triangle Titus cannot be biamped and Ohm L is 3 not 2 way.Both are good, smaller box designs for well under $600 used though. |
