| 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... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @ghdprentice It's never happened to me either in my personal system, and for the exact reasons you mentioned, proper research and auditioning. @blisshifi I have to say the Scansonic MB2.5s showed me what could be done with a sealed ribbon twee... | |
| FREE - Magnepan LRS - to a good Home That's very nice. I'd love to see my niece go up from Ithaca, just graduated from Nazareth, but she'd never appreciate them fully. Good for you-hope you find a good young audiophile to give them to! | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? I apologize for having two small bronzes on my speakers that are not symmetrical. Funny how all the words come out whichever speaker I set her on... (that's a joke) |
