| Tough Room,Speaker Placement Challenge It would help to know your equipment and what problems you've encountered with any configurations you may have already tried. Not knowing these things, I'd suggest the following. Place the speakers along the bottom of the L (13 feet wide) wall. Sp... | |
| Speakers below 800 The PSB Image series speaker are worth a listen. PSB also has good distribution so they may be available for audition. | |
| Below 20 HZ Notes/Instruments I wouldn't use a sub with your speakers. The bass the Dunlavy Vs produce is so deep, accurate and tuneful that it seems to me that you're more likely to hinder the overall presentation in both balance and soundstage.Good luck, Dave | |
| would it be a huge mistake? If you like them and the price is right, buy them. If you've bought used equipment in the past, most do not come with a transferable warranty so it's the same situation. Also, just because you buy a product from a company in business today doesn't... | |
| Help with speaker upgrade I should have mentioned that the speakers I've noted above are best on stands so if you really mean to put them on a shelf you'll lose some of what they offer.Dave | |
| Help with speaker upgrade Those are all good choices. If possible, also give a listen to Triangle Titus, Sonus Faber Concertino (great midrange) and Paradigm Studio 40 (solid bass). Good Luck, Dave | |
| Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's Agree with 3728. The CAP-150 would be a great choice. In the future, as you continue to upgrade your system, the amp and preamp can be separated with the touch of a button meaning that you can either use it as a stand alone amp or preamp.Good Luck... | |
| Improving bass response Thanks for the responses. It looks like power cords are worth auditioning.Sugarbrie, FYI the Rel was in a corner and I didn't have a lot of flexibility regarding placement (thanks to doors, piano, etc in the room). I did try changing the frequency... | |
| Speaker Mods? Why not try changing cables from a copper/silver hybrid (Q-10)to all copper? Since you have Synergistic Res. IC, try their speaker cables (I have the Signature 2 and find the highs to be smooth).If that doesn't work, I would be inclined to replace... | |
| Hall of Shame MIT cables (yes speaker cables and interconnects) due to rolling off of highs and generally muddy sounding cables. I have also found Krell amps to sound harsh particularly given the price points. | |
| Synergistic Research Sig. 2 vs. Harmonic Tech I also own the Signature 2s and find them to be transparent and smooth particularly with high frequencies. I agree with Impala that they are slightly bass shy, though I would point out this is a very slight issue. | |

| Is my dealer lying to me? I completely agree with Audiopath. You need to decide where you are going to take your system in the near future. It sounds like you will upgrade everything over the next year or so. If that's the case, you'll need to buy a CD player that fits you... | |
| Best CHEAP floorstanders? PSB Image 4T. $650 retail you can find them for under $500 delivered (federalstereo.com). An overall decent speaker, particularly for HT since it provides reasonable bass output for a speaker its size.Dave | |
| HT Speakers... nice sound for good price ? PSB Image Series is worth a listen. |
