| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 22.5' is not a bit bigger then 18.5'. It's only 4' but it makes a big difference. My length is my issue. I made a mistake not going 23' long. I find I can't get the speakers far enough off the front wall to allow the ports to breath and stay far e... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ktema has 2 large rear firing woofers and 2 rear firing ports. Not for my room.... Although I'm sure they are great. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD JWM - I had a pair of Boenicke W8SE+ in my room for several weeks and I enjoyed them. But they didn't give me the scale and dynamics I am after. And the W20 is rear ported, actually rear horned. So it won't work for me. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wisnon just asked me off thread what SQ I was looking for. Here was my response:SQ - as I explained, I want tight accurate base with finesse and refinement but I want impact and scale. I want to feelIt. I want the second and third harmonics from t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wisnon - pm sentI know of the MM7. It's their statement product. Four huge towers. I think the MM3 is their "realistic" reference product. Ypsilon doesn't have any speaker on their web site, nor does the U.S. Importer. No matter the name. It's jus... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have a pair of Nola Metro Grand Reference Gold speakers coming on Sunday. Which is good because I crated up my Muzik's and my MM3's, and I returned all the other speakers I had. So I am actually speakerless right now. The Metro's are rear ported... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tidal are all rear ported. So they are out. Vapor Perfect storm is too big, they are huge. Derecho is a lower model. The Joule would be the one that fits my room. Salk SS10 is in the same genre as the Vapor Joule although I don't honestly think th... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD TBG - what other speakers were on your short list before jumping on the BMC wagon? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Erik. I heard JBL's at Newport. Interesting. I'll look for a local dealer. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - 15'x18.5'x9'The MM3 did not, in fact, overload the room at all. They are sealed, powered woofers. The restriction was placement only. When I dialed them in they were stunning. I just didn't like the 6'x6'x6' triangle that worked best with ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - for your information i don't have an El Camino. I have a Camaro! Lol. Actually, I have a Porsche and a Jeep. But I will admit I had a Mustang GT in high school with four 10" subwoofers. Oh yeah baby! I worked in a car stereo store back the... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Lumenwhite are rear ported, unfortunately. I will try to get to the Ra as soon as possible. He is not available until early September. I will hear the Avalon and Joseph Pearl 3 by then....Also trying to hear a Salk SS8 or 10 as soon as I can. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Mike. I'm sort of honored you are posting. I feel like we've hit the big time if we caught your attention with this thread. Lol. I have to admit I have been following your build since you had the Kharmas in your room, years ago. You are the rea... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I heard the granite speaker twice in two different rooms. Didn't do it for me. I spoke with the T&F dealer. He insists the Isis are too big for my room and the Ra would do me just fine. He says they go down to 25hz without an issue but the web... |
