Bright High End Speakers = Bad Room?
the market aim is flat FR.this is too bright for my taste. even in a untreated room, i dont find the highs gets tamed enough.and a flat FR in a well treated room is too bright for my taste as well.the solution is either eq, or try to tame the HF r... 
Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ?
it really depends.i once had a room that was hard wood floor over concrete. that room sounded the best ive ever measured 
New Rel T5i. Anyone heard them?
yes, my mesurements of the REl t5 and rel t5i made clear that at the lowest setting (30hz) on the knob, the rel t5or t5i only starts to roll off around 55hz. therefore, if your speakers are -3db at 45hz, you will get a quite serious bump at from 4... 
Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3
Harbeth doesnt lack treble at all. I actually ended up selling the Shl5+ cause I found them slightly too present in the treble. but this is really my own personal taste, they were not bright, but definitely not dark either.The 30.2 treble is more ...

Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Prof, btw, I really liked the pulsar when i heard them. its just that I prefer a speaker with more bass and even more importantly is how loud it can play cleanly along a life size image. The 30.2 for me have more of a life size image, but one of t... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Prof, Extension is meaningless if the distortion figures are 10% at 50hz at 90db.I have tried to look up the distortion figure of the seas excel 5 inch midbass used in the pulsar, in vain. do you have the distortion figures of the Pulsar midbass? ... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Prof,Op question is: " any-monitors-clearly-better-than-pulsars"as I find the pulsar very limited in bass extension or bass punch, and find the imagize size giving a very small window, Ive recommended:805 D3 and Harbeth 30.2 which I think are clea... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
the reviewer did say exactly what I said about the pulsar.. not life size imaging (sound small) , and limited bass response. :" Although, like most minimonitors, the Pulsars didn’t produce life-size images, what they did produce was larger than... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
no matter how refine the pulsar are, they sound small with no real bass. Id rather own:805 d3Harbeth 30.2and many others 
Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
op needs to make clear if he wants to haev his standmount play fullrange or will they be highpassed?if they are playing fullrange, do NOT go with any speaker using a 5 inch woofer. your Nola use 6.5 inch, a 5 inch like the Joseph pulsar will suck ... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
 But sadly with horns, the audiophile market isn’t offering many worthy of purchase unless you want a hybrid horn and honestly if I had to go that route I would buy a conventional dynamic interesting. What are the problems with Hybrid system li...

Acoustic treatment
Lots of misinformation in this thread...multiple subs do not magically eliminate bass decay. Bass traps are meant to absorb the bass resonance and reflections building up and coloring the initial signal. Having multiple LF source cannot address th...
