| Starting from scratch in a large room I think we're past the best advice offered up by @russ69, and @ghdprentice. You may be happy with what you get, but it seems to be an inefficient use of spending money as pointed out. You may well enjoy the results going the other, suggested, dir... | |
| Subwoofer or not? I'd think those speakers would beg for a modest sub merely for mid-bass. I'd consider some of the other value brands aside from Focal as well. A good $500-700 sub should wake up your new system nicely when dialed in. Good luck. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? With price no object there are some stunning possibilities out there. I also have heard the Borresen B01s and they show Michael's further success. (Had older borrowed Raidho D1s for two months and now 'suffering' with older D2s :-) Without havin... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? I have also never regretted selling off a pair of speakers, even if I enjoyed them at the time. I kept moving up, and carefully. I did enjoy an old McCormack DNA-1 power amp (and a 0.5 too) but let them go only to eventually re-buy another DNA-1 ... | |
| Opinions on speaker upgrade choices I do not believe I could agree more with the all the advice offered by @ghdprentice. I say pay heed. I am 100% in the speakers drive all other decisions camp. | |
| The Match Test +2 very enjoyable | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Michael Borresen is one sharp guy and it still amazes that he can design world-class speakers, and then go into amplifiers and other items as well. Prior Aavik pieces seem well-regarded (despite the prices of all Borresen designed items). And t... | |
| The new Raidho’s vs the new Borressen’s ? Definitely not worth the money in one man's opinion. Others obviously disagree. There is an iron-free motor system for drivers. | |
| Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in? Huge congratulations on the Raidho XT-1 loudspeakers. I hope you really enjoy them. I've heard them and they are just great! Get and position two subs if you can. (I own two R.E.L. subs myself, and SVS) | |
| Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in? Grin, if you can really buy multiple subs, get four SVS 3000 Micros in white, do a good distributed bass array (DBA) for the low end, and hi-pass the MB-1s with a decent crossover. I think relieving the bookshelves of low bass and adding subs will... | |
| Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in? Concur with @curiousjim on an adjustable SVS 3000 Micro in white. @mduffy18d I think you could blend the SVS with the Scansonic MB1s/1.5? I have three SVS but none white... :-) (were the Scansonics white?) | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) @mduffy18d Congrats and I hope you really enjoy the MB1s (the better short term decision, I agree). I had the 2.5s for a year and a half and loved them immensely. A decent small sub helped (I had an REL). I only traded them (and other stuf... | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? Sound first, other items can matter some depending on the application. I'd rewrite that website, OP. It sure reads as written for non-audio people that can be duped by fancy words, but then again, that's who may drop 25 large on those... good lu... | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 I well remember Classe paired up with big B&W 800s and also remember thinking the Classe sound was rather musical, not so detailed and bright as many, hence why it could work with the semi-bright B&Ws and that diamond tweeter. A lean amp w... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers @schubert I must agree with @dsper in that there is nothing wrong with W4S amplification and bass control. With a damping factor of 2000 the bass is tight and powerful. Can't imagine it wouldn't do the job with Maggies. I love my SVS SB-3000 fo... |
