| 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... | |
| What interesting or unusual gear has passed though your system during your audio life? Interesting to hear Threshold. I guess for me it would be an old Threshold T200 that just wasn't a good sonic match for ML SL3 electrostatic hybrids (out of the room in twenty minutes). I wish I still had it today, but back then it was worth t... | |
| Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub? In the last month or so I have used 3 Nobsound spring feet on each of three SVS sealed subs in my listening room. I pull out most all the springs and have no difficulty with the subs staying in position on carpet. The reduced bass through the susp... | |
| SF vs Raidho +2stereo5I own Raidho Ds. I've heard many SFs over the years. No comment. | |
| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... Glad for the mispell, intentional or not. Miller's wit gives me a chuckle.I am in the equidistant camp and use about a 7.5ft triangle with the D2s and my ears (about 50" from front 20'w wall, 20wx17d room). Aimed just a bit, towed or toed, behind ... | |
| BI-WIRING VS DIRECT (2X2) CABLE for Martin Logan SL3 SL3s were my first good speaker in 1995 and served as my primaries until 2011 (Dyne Sapphires, then Raidho D2s, keepers). I had plenty of amps and wiring changes over that time and used decent copper wiring.I'd definitely recommend horizontal bi-a... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II After 16 years with Martin Logan SL3 electrostats, I had a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires for five years. They were fine but happily traded away along with a pair of Dynaudio Excite X-12s and a pair of Scansonic MB2.5s (sweet) (all mint) for used Raid... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? I will never forget sitting unobtrusively in the Synergistic room at RMAF almost ten years ago after a couple attendees told Ted they did not hear what he suggested they hear. When they left his best curse words came out to describe them to anothe... | |
| What Monitors would you pick for my new office (bookshelf) >> Please don't buy speakers that have sufficient bass at low level listening, as they'll probably be a bit much at normal levels. You need an old fashioned loudness control or bass adjustment.Joseph Audio speakers are superb in my book. An excellent... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Fun question; thanks. The McIntosh / Sonus Faber combo does a lot for me. SF is a great conventional dynamic speaker with low end up to nice high end models. Mac stuff is a bit pricier but wonderful and can cover all bases. They are a solid pair... | |
| Opinions and choices for a small speaker for mid sized room. After owning Scansonic MB2.5s for a few years, and having had Raidho D1s in my listening room for months I should have thought to mention the MB1 as value for the dollar, especially if used with a dialed-in sub. (Those two speakers forced me into ... | |
| Opinions and choices for a small speaker for mid sized room. I have not heard, but would be interested in hearing the Golden Ear BRX stand-mount speaker. That's it. A lot of great choices out there and good recommendations. | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? Yes, oh yes. Borresen 05s would be a thrill to hear. I'd also like to listen to top of the line Tidal and Rockport loudpeakers. |
