| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Luxman and Focal is a pretty nice combo....I'd try that before pulling the trigger on the MA12000. Not saying you won't enjoy it more, simply that I would do speakers then amp. Good luck. | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Kanta if sticking with that room configuration and placement, Sopra if you're willing to move them next to the TV. Are you saying you run two amps today? | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Cisco guy here. There's plenty of misinformation within, but agreed with the what's the harm notion. I would be curious about a fiber connection in an effort to reduce noise down the road. The one piece that most seem to have agreed with, tha... | |
| Favorite Eagle Never thought about it in terms of favorite Eagle, since I once really liked Don Henley also. But I will say I've recently discovered that Joe's catalogue is much deeper than I would have anticipated, and I feel he's very under rated as an artist... | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I was hell bent on Sopra 2’s for a couple of years. Went to do my final listen....and bought Magico. They were demonstrably better to me and come to think of it the bass is where my buddy and I saw the biggest difference. Used A3’s are same or les... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? An entry level system and a very good room is better than a great system in a crap room. Get the room right and you can really surprise yourself quality wise. | |
| Borresen X3 @letitbe1306 see my comments on your other thread also. Don’t sleep on Magico. | |
| Perlisten S5t I listened to the 7st the same day I listened to Focal Kanta 2, Sopra 2 and Magico A3. No offense to the owners here but they were 4 out of 4….I’m starting to wonder if where you listen to a speaker in the rotation makes a difference in perceptio... | |
| Borresen X3 I listened to them and did enjoy, but felt they might be a bit deep for my room at nearly 24”, IIRC. I was trying to avoid the made in China notion, so glad I didn’t get too tempted. I listened back to back with Focal Kanta 2, and could have live... | |
| Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2 Hey @perkadin, just caught this thread and wanted to comment. I have Zu Soul in my upstairs system, but they always left me wanting a bit more. For a single female vocal with maybe just some strings, they are great. Something more complex and fast... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @perkadin thanks man. That shot doesn't show the signed Trey poster off to the right! Now that i've adjusted to them they fit in quite nicely, but took a couple days to get used to. Oh and BTW they are sublime thus far. One thing I did notice ... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? OK so I did an upload to one of the free sites. I have a little cleaning up to do but this is a preview....they seemed huge initially but i'm getting used to them! | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Hi everyone, so quick update here....I did follow the bits of advice many provided here, specifically around a brand, buying used and also around following a house sound. I do need to write another longer post about the overall search and how my t... | |
| How tall do you like your images? I took delivery of new speakers yesterday, and this thread popped right into my mind as one of the primary changes I noticed. Interesting so far! | |
| Best 2 channel music quality on a 5.1 home theater AVR While I think the OP may have moved on, I'll place another vote for an integrated with HT bypass so future readers can benefit. @soix nailed it above with the noise comment, and all adding a power amp to a lesser quality preamp will give you is m... |
