| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ d2girlsMy front L/R speakers are Legacy Audio Signature II from the 1990s. | |
| Sources for Focal 1038Be II At these prices, I've been tempted to pick up a set of 1038 Be II, but I keep reading reviews and owner reports that the tweeter on Kanta and Sopra is newer and better, less strident. | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K I agree about checking out the new Kef R7, which looks to be killer in the below $4k price range. Also, if you can find a used set of Dali Rubicon 6 below $4k, I strongly suggest you check them out. | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Yes, at RMAF, I would say that Kenny G-looking dude's Prana stand mount speakers and the JWM(Joshua Miles) Allyson speakers were the best sounding stand mount speakers at the show. | |
| Paradigm Premier. Thoughts If you like Dali, I will say that at RMAF the new $1,400/pair Dali Oberon 7 floor standers wowed a group of us there. We couldn't figure how they got that great bass out of them. The mids and highs were impressive as well. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 @ marrduk24Haven't seen EgglestonWorks Andra mentioned here. Not sure if there is some reason for that. It seems they can be had well under $10k. I read some reviews, which indicate an awesome speaker. I'd be interested in your thoughts. | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k I think you just need a couple of quality subs with high level inputs, such as REL T7 or T7i that has the Speakon connection. You can find used T7s for around $500 apiece, which is a far sight more affordable than new speakers. | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 @steve59Yes, at only $2k higher price, the Kanta No.3 are a no-brainer vs the Kanta No.2, IMO. If you look at the dimensions and specs of Kanta No.3, they are near identical to those of Sopra No.3. I do think it may be the case that the W cones ... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Yes, I'm getting close to adding a center channel speaker to my setup, but will not do so without, at the same time, also adding a REL sub with the Speakon connection. Years back, I tried 3 or 4 center channel speakers, but when using them, I los... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market @jackskyI attended both AXPONA and RMAF this year, and I would agree that the majority of attendees appeared to be 60+. At RMAF, I did run into a good number of guys who were 40-ish and seemed to have an ample supply of money to own such speakers... | |
| scala or viva Well, if it's for home theater, you might get the smaller ones and add a REL T7 sub to each of them to extend their range to 30 Hz. | |
| Focal Sopra 2 After hearing the Sopra N3 powered by the new Classe amps at RMAF, I'm dreaming of a set of them. Very smooth sounding, with nice, deep bass. | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? The Marantz 6012 has no balanced circuitry, so there is no reason to connect to the amp's XLR inputs. I think you just need the best RCA interconnects you can get. Wireworld Silver Eclipse 6, 7, or 8 seems to be a very nice sounding interconnect... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) @steve59Yes, at current used prices, Salon 2s are sure tempting, but dang, those are really tall speakers with the tweeters at the top, which puts them way up in the air, well above my seated ear level. I can only sit about 10 feet away. | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? Well, it would depend on which type connectors you have on your 6012 and your power amp. What types do you have? My power amp has only XLR connectors and my AVR has only rca connectors, so I use rca interconnects with an XLR adapter on the amp e... |
