| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Yes, the XTZ looks very intriguing, but not much of a US presence that I can find. I can't find a US phone number on their US Store page to call and speak with someone. Also, the Alpha is shown to be out of stock. And the 30-Day Buy and Try op... | |
| Best of these integrated amps... After hearing the 585 at AXPONA in April, I've been wanting one ever since. It was paired with a set of the new Revel F228Be speakers and it just sounded fantastic. ML also has a newer model that adds a top flight phono stage, the 585.5, but it ... | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both Well, to me "neutral" would entail "detailed", since there are a lot of instruments in music that have sharp, clear sounds. | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Yes, I also sit ~10 feet from my speakers. From the Focal web site on the 936: "Appropriate for rooms measuring from 270ft2 (25m2) and from a listening distance of 10-12ft (3m - 3.5m)." For the 948:"This is the ultimate loudspeaker of the range fo... | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? @ uberwaltzYeah, that's my question as well. Focal doesn't really rate the 946 that much deeper than the 936, and others have said the 936 is fine. But I'm just a sucker for big floor standers. | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? @kosst_amojanThanks, I read a Stereophile review by Robert Deutsch. I didn't find a review by HR. But it sounds like plenty of bass and not boomy. | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Kosst, I'm confused. You laud the 936 for reaching down into the 30s with authority, yet most reviews I've read of other Focal speakers even up to the Sopra No 2 seem to indicate a bottom end without a lot of authority. So, now I'm wondering wha... | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Those all look like top flight choices to me. I'm researching also the Canton Vento 890.2, which can be had brand new for less than $3k. | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson Interestingly, three sets of Boenicke speakers turn up on Agon today. | |
| Pass X150 vs Krell FPB 200 I use a Krell FPB 400cx and there is just something about that class A sound. I'm not sure if the FPB 200 is class A. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Mike, FYI and IMO, just be aware that some of why that 1975 demo sounded so good could be related to the electronics used and not just the speakers. If the dude was driving the speakers with quality tube electronics, that could account for how gr... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Just FYI, Capital Audiofest is coming up in DC on November 2,3, and 4. http://capitalaudiofest.com/ | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Well, yes, you might as well take a listen to Revel F228Be, Focal Kanta N2, and Legacy Audio Focus SE. Legacy has some dealers in VA. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho @audiotroyBut Dave, saying that a speaker has a ~40% mark up is not the same as saying a dealer has this or that profit margin. He didn't say anything about a dealers "getting rich" or not, nor did he say anything about overall profit margin or i... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Dave, I don't think audioman58 said what you apparently think he said. |
