| Matching subwoofer Have fun dialing it in and let us know what crossover point you find that blends best with those bookshelves. Curiosity-thanks.The final sound should be pretty enjoyable. Good luck. | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Idle curiosity. I don't recall a mention of requirements for dynamics or low bass. I'd love to hear a used Raidho D1 monitor with your Prima Luna. I'll bet it would be fabulous if not driven at too high a volume. Don't look for orchestral weight t... | |
| Dual subs and or speaker uograde Those are nice comments about dialing in the speakers, Elliott... I really like the idea of blending the sub properly with the larger mains first, then adding the other three, etc. Even better if the system does double duty for two channel music.I... | |
| Dual subs and or speaker uograde I think the first two responses you received are very well-informed and that's great to see/read. Although Monitor Audio is not for me they make great speakers and you own some. I'm surprised they are not dynamic enough, but subs will help. (Possi... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber I feel firberger has it spot on with the auditioning "show-off' nature of some speaker sound, and know I'd eventually walk away from the B&W revealing tweeter sound. Sonus Faber can be a bit less 'sparkly' but you may not get an ear-ache eith... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I have seen and heard the Tektons for years at RMAF as well as Revel and am surprised (others may not be) they are mentioned together at all. They seem so different sounding to me.I believe the Revel to be a far superior speaker in engineering and... | |
| Speaker upgrade Goose, spot on analysis of Magico versus Joseph Audio versus Rockport sound. I remember being bowled over by the orginal Pearls at RMAF and Jeff's models have just gotten better. So tonally spot on for me.Owning a used pair of Raidho D3.1s would ... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed Oh, a last thought for now; I owned and loved my first good speaker, Martin Logan SL3s (1995) for sixteen years but for a few months the Threshold T200 (superb amp, paired correctly) cut my listening to 15-20 minutes at best. It wasn't the speaker... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed I have to second the Von Schweikert recommendation if they've only gotten better. The ones I heard in Denver years back ALL sounded very inviting but were out my my league then. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed I do not think the Focal tweeter is repairable (in the way that it sounds, ha). That is the Focal house sound I have found over many, many years of hearing them. Great demo speakers. You either love it or try to get used to it. Changing electronic... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Good luck, Mekong56. I'd heard the Raidho D1s and the Scansonic hype (from folks I'm confident in) "got me". I'm now breaking in a pair of 2.5s. I also went through that "unexpected purchase" situation as well. :-) | |
| Hidden factors in A-B comparisons. Interesting situation on the static and settling in before comparison. And, since cable comparisons typically are rather difficult to make on a blind A-B basis I think I'd agree that multi-day listening allows one to slowly get a feel for the over... | |
| Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio For me, hands down it's the Joseph Audio sound. Absolutely lovely, and a speaker you can listen to for hours. I've heard the Pulsars many times, the Perspectives and the Pearl II's and loved them all. The Pulsars are giant killers if you don't nee... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE REL is very high on my list for a subwoofer for my Dynaudio Sapphire speakers and I am extremely interested in your experience with your B-2 so far. I would welcome any additional information you are willing to provide. What loudspeakers are mated... | |
| Should i go Boulder 1060 or Jeff Rowland 625 I'd be scared to hook up a Boulder to the already somewhat "hot" 802D. I auditioned the 802D several times for hours and deemed it a speaker that begged for slightly warmer, but detailed, electronics.I'd use those 802Ds with the 625 and the Corus ... |
