| Monitor suggestions? Great, if you could demo anything from each brand that would be best, as basically all Proac and ATC 2-ways have the same house sound. ATC recommends 75w min for the SCM19/20; it has 85/886db sensitivity vs the D2’s 88db, so the Proac will be loud... | |
| Auricap XO vs ClarityCap CSA Have you seen http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.htmlTony rates the CSA "9" and the Auricap "11" | |
| Monitor suggestions? A good choice. They're on similar levels. Didn't know you were in Seattle. I got my amp from Hawthorne, a long time ago.As a last choice, remember ATC also has their Pro line. For the passives, these are exactly the same drivers and cabinet volume... | |
| Vintage speaker suggestions Just be sure to check condition of driver cones and surrounds. | |
| How long do good speakers last? So long as they're not damaged electrically, and you keep the cones out of UV light, new, modern drivers will last longer than a lot of us. | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? Beautiful room photos! Hmm, I guess if you’re not digging the treble then yeah it’s the tweeter/crossover, I’m afraid. I don't see how more Harbeths would really change that. | |
| Monitor suggestions? Sure thing. You can contact GIK by email or phone or their help form.They’re really helpful. They have many products that are meant to fit in living rooms unobtrusively, like print panels. One doesn’t have to turn the room into a full on studio, b... | |
| ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT Oh come on it’s just a cabinet; there’s no voodoo to the ATC cabs - I’m just saying if they find the Pros ugly (I don’t - I got the 20 pros rather than the 19s, though yeah, they're not lookers), they could swap all the internals for a beautiful n... | |
| Monitor suggestions? Also, read GIK's material on acoustics and room treatmenthttps://www.gikacoustics.com/acoustic-primer/https://www.gikacoustics.com/educational-videos/especially also on bass nulls! | |
| Monitor suggestions? Read this: https://www.passlabs.com/technical_article/speaker-cables-science-or-snake-oil/ Ideally, one wants to use short speaker cable lengths, but 20ft is not going to murder your system, and certainly not in comparison to acoustic distort... | |
| ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT Jeez, if SCM100 pros are still cheaper than SC50Ts, you could get the SCM50 pros and pay a carpenter to build an identical dimensioned cabinet with the same roundovers and a luxury veneer! | |
| Monitor suggestions? OK those placement descriptions do suggest acoustic issues affecting bass. Look at GIK acoustic product solutions e.g. bass traps. Think about rugs, and reflections, e.g. diffusers.ATC 7/11/19 are all sealed. These make them much less susceptible ... | |
| Which Harbeths? Ditch those Harbeths! Try different Totems, Grahams, ATC | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? I guess we're just listing the brands we like. I'll have a go but put it across different subcategories:NA brands: Snell, SimaudioUK brands: ATC, Epos (just for the ES14 -- one of the best speakers ever made)Europe: Diapason, Unison Research | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters A great tweeter doesn't ensure a great speaker, but then again a bad tweeter will ruin any speaker. |
