| Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants " Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants"is what I read as the title of this thread but after a few posts is it rather easy to see that Mozartfan is simply busy schilling his type of speaker yet once again, on and on. Ti... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Thanks to everyone who has participated. I’ve been reading a bunch of these DBA threads and it is causing me to seriously re-examine what I am currently doing with only one sub. For the single seating position that matters, it is invisible sonical... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel Too funny after all that. I have a couple of great older RELs, B1 and Storm III, and i have heard the 'air' added to Eva Cassidy's (bass-less) "Fields of Gold" track. It is audible and wonderful!I also have SVS SB-3000 and it is superb, despite th... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. (Pardon me if someone mentioned an idea below first.)emrofsemanon: I'd say you are right about pretty much everything you mentioned. I have an extension cord between my fridge and the wall so I can unplug it (a tiny reminder light goes on when I ... | |
| Connecting class D amp to high level input on subwoofer Glad to hear you got the information you needed. Hope my post didn't hurt.EJ is great. Having an STI-1000 I have talked to him on the phone a few times as well as at shows. Not surprised he could help! | |
| Which subwoofer? I do own a couple of great but older REL subs (B1, Storm III) but recently acquired three sealed SVS subs, one SB-3000 and two SB-2000 subs (close-out). I'm very impressed with the modern technology.I owned SL-3s as main speakers for 16 years (sti... | |
| Connecting class D amp to high level input on subwoofer I apologize for not checking out your VR subs first. Based on having both R and L connections with + and – legs (full speaker connections) I’d suggest looking at, or checking about using the specified capacitors between your bel canto + speaker ou... | |
| The best tweeter is no tweeter Aside from my electrostatics of yester-year all tweeters have been domes and I've always preferred silk to any metallic domes. I enjoyed the Esotar II until I moved to Raidho's D series ultra-lightweight sealed ribbon tweeter. I have heard nothing... | |
| Connecting class D amp to high level input on subwoofer There is something different going on with a class D and a normal class A/AB amp. I run a W4S STI-1000 with an REL B1 sub and use the speakon connectors but you must do as Bel Canto's diagram years ago suggested and use the special cable with capa... | |
| martin logan vs magnepan sound I loved an old pair of Maggie's I heard in the late 70s but bought Martin Logan SL3s in 1995 as my first pair of true 'higher end' speakers and loved them for 16 years as my main speakers. Finally unseated by Dynaudio Sapphires for five years, and... | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers No sweat on those great 805s; you'll get them to work in your new place. I also had to drop my speakers into our retirement home's 'living' room which is now the music and art room. Your 805s have about the same footprint as mine and will do fine ... | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers Funny but interesting thread.Cosmetics would have counted some in the living and music room, but not much, and piano black gloss would have been fine. I have loved the sound of Raidho and finally traded my dealer three sets of my own mint speakers... | |
| Cheap thrills. I bought ML SL3s in 1995 ($3200 retail then) and they were my only two channel speakers until 2011 (Dynaudio Sapphire demos). I did use a Velodyne F-1800 MkII servo-sub but still had the SL3 front panels out 5-6 feet from the rear wall for the bes... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I have had mostly good A/AB amps over the years and one tube amp. Some amps were hell with some speakers, so amp/speaker synergy is still critically important no matter what you think you prefer. (I prefer a 'system sound' which starts with the be... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Maybe this finally died, possibly a good thing as there sure seem to be a lot of one-trick ponies on this thread, running the same track over and over, with nothing new to offer. Hmm.It would appear that the OPs real goal was to tell us all we're ... |
