| Upgrading my system Those are two excellent speaker choices to think about. I never suggest less $ but am still deadly curious to hear the Golden Ear BRX stand-mounted speakers. Much cheaper but supposed to be rather nice; I've like some of their floor-standers. | |
| T+A Criterion T100 Speakers That is great to hear. I'm always worried when companies try and do to much but T&A has a good reputation for their electronics and I'd suspect you made a decent speaker buy with those. Have fun! | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. I'm not much on 'modern' or 'contemporary' art so much so horns are pretty much out for me esthetically. I have heard some nice sounds come out of some too. For a small room full range down to 31hz with lovely sound, I am still happy with Raidho ... | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers russ69 has it 100% :-) I totally concur. | |
| Next upgrade? @ghdprentice makes many good points, as usual. I also think you have a nice system and would enjoy it for a while, while working on room acoustics, inexpensive tweaks to assist even more. Like many, I think the Prima Luna is the strongest item r... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I well-remember the magic of listening to Dunlavy's in Colorado Springs years ago in The Sound Shop, at a friend's home with IVs, and listening with John Dunlavy and meeting him (a wild guy) in his CS facility. They were very special but a tiny ma... | |
| World's Best Speakers For 2021 ? I have heard many of his other designs with Raidho, and his smaller Borresen B designs, but I haven't yet heard Michel Borresen's new B05. I would fully expect it to compete with the very best in the world today. | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? If room size was not an issue and large enough, I'd have full size speakers (and probably still augmented with multiple subs). Generally speaking, a big speaker simply sounds bigger to me most of the time; there are well-designed exceptions. But ... | |
| Positioning full range electrostatic speakers I used the ML SL3 hybrids as my mains from 95 to 11 and they sounded far bettter at 6 ft from the front wall instead of 2-3 feet (where I started unknowlingly). I always ran short cables as well. I still have my more conventional speakers' tweete... | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ Chuckle at the above... I think the immediacy seekers are drawn to horns for their in-your-face general presentation, at least IMO after a lot of years hearing lots of them. I do agree that some can be great but I tend to walk away from the semi-... | |
| Smallish room speakers For now I'd stay with your LS50 and SVS 1000Pro combination and work to position it the best that you can. Sometimes a little digital equalization can help a lot. I have 3 sealed SVS subs & 2 RELs. Both are good. Your SVS is great for those sp... | |
| How do you listen? Interesting question. With a decent setup in an 8ft near-field triangle and non-fatiguing equipment, (C-weighted), low to mid 80s dB avg and highs in upper 80s, sometimes low 90s. It is so clean I wish it had more dynamics (must high-pass mains!). | |
| Speaker Decision Paralysis (for large volume loft space) Thoughts. 1) Conventional box speakers, better dispersion in a large space. 2) Softer trebled speaker based on room. (Huge congrats on an art-based room; it's what I have and I understand, no goofy treatments, so...)3) Some/any type of go... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? I do not believe B&W are overpriced for what they have to offer. I have auditioned B&W since the early 90s, hearing plenty of the 800 diamond series over the years. I still own some little old 302s.I seriously considered the 802D or 800Ds ... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? I think it's great to see a list so long of great individuals involved in our hobby as manufacturers or retailers. It says something positive.A personal shout-out for Jeff Rowland, a true gentleman and devoted to his craft. I have nothing but resp... |
