| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! Thank you. I am lucky (and silently thank the architect from the 80s…) The Raidho D2 has been described more as a ‘bottom up’ speaker, probably in part due to to a bass hump 80-160 or so. Once it is ameliorated (DSP) the pure clarity and liquidity... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Mahgister, I appreciate all the comments and think you are very correct that most of us don't fully appreciate correct room treatments, etc.The most stunning demonstration I ever heard was at RMAF when one of the Brit reviewers did a session on eq... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I'm having trouble pulling up the room image but yours sounds rather drastic for audio but not to worry. My own room is a combination of walls of windows with Rocky Mtn views I will not ignore. Almost every other space of bare wall is covered with... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? 'Di-polar' on the Martin Logans and Magneplaners. Oops, more coffee. | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? This is a great subject and one I have thought about, or wrestled with for some time. Thanks for all the very good views and thoughts expressed.I owned Martin Logan SL3s as primary audio speakers for 16 years and loved the immersion. I equally agr... | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! This is a very good thread. Thanks for your efforts, Drew, and others!I am fortunate and happy to have my primary two-channel system separate from the TV room, or home theater downstairs. For me, that is a must. I really like seeing the Rocky Moun... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room Harbeths are great speakers and it appears the P3 is a real gem according to many. With a cheap thousand dollar SVS SB-3000 you'd have full range with a sealed tight sub, and the ability on the fly (via remote) to adjust for a customized loudness ... | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys For musical enjoyment I feel highly accurate, resolved, tonally correct, full range (with requisite dynamics) musical reproduction is the goal. If others desire something colored, in any direction, that is fine but I feel the one perfect system (o... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? A rather enjoyable look into what matters most to us. I have been very pragmatic over the years looking for value and sound quality over brand names. If I felt something was truly ugly I might hesitate if it needed to generally be in view.I loved ... | |
| Does a taste for high end audio, also carry over into your other interests? Great thread-thanks. Audio reproduction, better and better has been a never ending hobby/quest for 40+ years and I am thrilled where I am with the two channel system I listen to. But the love of fine art has overcome (by twice) the expenditure... | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters Nice job on the new tweeter thread. grin.I cannot imagine ever leaving the sealed ribbon tweeters in my speakers. The degree of incredible resolution and detail with no pain is astounding. They are so much better in every way than the Esotar II t... | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I have two older RELs, a Britannia B1 (two channel) and an old Storm III (now for a TV room). The old Def Tech Powerfield F-1500 sub (mostly 'boom') for the home theater is being replaced. I received an SVS SB-3000 and two just-discontinued SB-200... | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? That is excellent news! Writing letters can work small miracles. Good job for being calm and letting them make the right decision. | |
| Speaker upgrade I am extremely pleased to hear your report on the sound of your new PL500IIs. I also was concerned, feeling that many Monitor speakers of old were too strident for long listening. Glad to hear that has changed. These should be truly world class in... | |
| Can B&W Seres 80 802 Sound This Good? I'll bet you're not losing your ear. I think the newer 800 diamond tweeters impart a brilliance/fatiguing nature that I can't deal with, so those older ones may not be so tough many of the times I heard them, but not all.Those Mahlers I've heard a... |
