| Feel free to talk me off the ledge There are some good tips posted above, as well as some fun thoughts. Have to say you're killing me telling me how nice those BRXs are. I'm dying to listen but don't need them... ugh. I suspect them to be an incredible bargain for sound $. Those an... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Biggest mistake, probably buying a fabulous Threshold T-200 power amp used and finding out it didn't mate with ML SL3 electrostats. It was twenty minutes of music and you stopped...had to sell it...still have the SL3s (in home theater now). As a ... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey DQ10s for sure were the first 'moment'. Magnepans in another college dorm room a couple years later. I will never forget the 'he is in the room singing' feeling from hearing Frank Sinatra on vinyl in Honolulu 1990. It was at a high end shop on g... | |
| tweeters /midbass fq zones And back around the FR track we go. 🤣 It's nice to like something and be so enthused. As for my music, I still like the top end and bottom end of it as well, so I suffer with X-overs, like probably 99% of speaker owners do. My old ML SL3s were... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? I lived in Colorado Springs and have hear the SC-IVs and the other smaller and larger models at The Sound Shop, his dealer back then. I also got to meet John at his small manufacturing/lab in Colorado Springs back in the 1990s, an interesting guy.... | |
| Contenders are here Congrats on the speakers; I've always enjoyed Nola's models at shows over the years. They will almost certainly sound better after being mechanically broken in over 100+ hours to loosen everything up. Have fun with them! | |
| Midwoofer/tweeter speaker It's been interesting learning who preaches about what on this forum. I don't even have to guess with some folks. Same drum and another new post to beat on it. Around the track and again... Maybe something new will arise. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? Nice speaker for sure but too bad the 'distance from the wall' thing didn't set in. I don't think any electronics will solve it, nor will 7 feet out from the wall, still too far for any bass reinforcement is my guess. Along with others, if you're... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade Most people still don't understand digital room correction, or will not even try it. I dare you to put in a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 room correction system in your already excellent system, run it and set it up properly, use any minor DSP equalizat... | |
| Focal vs dynaudio I owned Dynaudio Sapphires for five years and really enjoyed them but when I heard their newer stuff the last 5-10 years it sounded punchy and a bit in your face. Of course Focals (at least for my own ears) would be twenty minute session speakers... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Years ago at RMAF I heard a Bricasti Design DAC and (?amp, not his) power a large three-way pair of Harbeths (ported as I recall) that looked like big monitors. Classical music is okay and I own some (not enough) and work at it but hearing that s... | |
| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer I may really be the odd man out, but I'd think absolutely no way two different speakers will ever sound the same even if equalized properly, but for an entirely different reason. Speakers of the same type sound very different due to design and en... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget Agree, and hope you enjoy SF and Hegel. Both are stand-out high-quality brands. | |
| Garage Listing room So far so good with the hardboard. Congrats. Am I correct in assuming you will still work to alleviate the first reflection issues? Good project! | |
| How about TAD speaker with Accuphase preamp & amp I think it may work fine. I love the sound of T.A.D. speakers (I own Raidho) but wouldn't want a too warm amp on them. I still own an older Accuphase DC player from late 90s and enjoyed it. My current amp is a Class D output, a W4S integrated. It... |
