| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists While this thread is a bit stale, I thought I’d chime in as I’m now in the market for speakers in another system. Specifically, I am now trying to decide between the SF Olympica IIIs and the new SF Serafino which is clearly better but more $s. I... | |
| Anyone use Rel Longbow wireless system? I have the longbow system in place on my new S3 sub. It's excellent. REL claims it's their highest fidelity connection. Perhaps. But it does work well and I sense no latency. Not incidentally, I'm probably committing an audiophile faux pau by... | |
| Are Mac and PC equal? Al - good points all. And, those are things I have typically done with my PCs to make them last longer. I just refuse to go through the hassle anymore. Most users will experience the degradation we're referring to here. Further, I would submit tha... | |
| Are Mac and PC equal? I'll admit my bias up front. I'll never buy another PC again. I have owned many PCs, and am required to use one at work every day. They all need constant restarting and updating, and clearly grew old and slow quickly with expanding bloatware in th... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? If you want to recreate a metal concert in your home, then why not get speakers you would hear at a live show? Pro audio speakers have completely different design goals than home audio, so they're not going to image particularly well, and they won... | |
| Different subs in pairs? Thanks for the feedback, folks. I only get the radio interfrence through the sub, not the mains. And, I only got it when I moved the sub farther away from my rig such that the cable connecting it was stretched out making an antenna. I've no idea i... | |
| going backward to inwalls - some questions Just an update that may be helpful to some. I have the system in and I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised at the general fidelity of the sound. Does it image? Of course not. But, the Sonance VP89s are remarkably smooth (I have them bi-wired... | |
| going backward to inwalls - some questions Thanks for the recommendations and feedback. I'm not familiar w/ James at all, but seems like an interesting company who's thought some of these issues through. No dealers in my neck of the woods unfortunately. Same for Wisdom and Triad unfortunat... | |
| Revel F208s vs Cremona M vs B&W 803/804 D I personally have to disagree with the comments about JBL Everest outperforming Revel's top lines. I come from a background of pro audio and JBL is pretty well respected in this space, though by no means "the best". Not even close. Nevertheless, t... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS While I don't currently own any, I have owned and greatly enjoyed several pairs of ADS speakers in the past. I've been actually considering going back to them. Criticisms against ADS are that they are not neutral but far too bright on the top end.... | |
| Can you guys recommend some decent in-walls? In-walls are area where Paradigm excels, particularly their reference series. I was able to compare them directly to some B&W in-walls at the dealer as well as another brand I don't remember. It wasn't even close. Of course, in wall speakers i... | |
| Why no Danley fever? you'd probably want an outboard crossover to integrate their sub with the mains, but the mains themselves do not require outboard crossovers.Also, please be aware that the synergy horns are highly directional by design- a 50 degree radiation patte... | |
| Why no Danley fever? Bwaslo: I think you may have misunderstood my response. I think Danley makes some of the best sounding pro audio speakers out there. I spec'd Danley for a new performing arts center and they modeled out great in the analysis. The facility is being... | |
| Why no Danley fever? Johny_1 is correct - these are pro-audio speakers. However, as remarkable as they are - and they are very good for the genre and much better than the vast majority of "pro audio" equipment (most of which sounds horrible), they are no match for any... | |
| cartridge for Dual 604 I'll take a look. As I recall, my dad had a pickering on this table back in the early 80s. Of course, no idea what model, or if he liked it! |
