| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt Appreciate your comments. Dougstat you are right --- I learned a lesson. My situation is that I'm looking for new speakers, and have come to like the Revel floorstanders. I went to the Harmon store in my city and heard the F228BE. Not having h... | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's Stevizzy,You are right (and I am wrong)---Sopra 2 doesn't have foam plugs (only Sopra 1 does). From what you wrote there is no issue with flabbly/boomy bass response given your setup (3 ft from front wall). That's great to hear. I will go back t... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Nice thread- I have a question on the Sopra 2's bass response. I heard them for the first time at a dealer who placed them 3 ft or so from back wall. Great soundstage, mid bass was fine, but the lower bass was boomy. I noticed this on jazz (wi... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3? This is a great thread with a lot of good construction opinions! I have a question on the Sopra 2: I went to hear them at a dealer where they were set up 3+ feet from the front wall, driving by McIntosh electronics. I loved the soundstage, the s... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers Limniscate -I can place the Mag 3.7i about 4 ft from the front wall. | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's I recently heard the Sopra 2 at a New York dealer. He had them 3 feet from the back wall and away from the side walls. Were driven by McIntosh equipment. I loved the soundstage, but the bass was boomy. I've read the Focal includes a bass plug ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers thanks for all your comments. | |
| KEF LS50 - new model? Let me add that I did speak to KEF directly and asked them the question. They said they don't discuss any possible forthcoming updates/new models, etc before they are ready to be released. I respect their approach, and I partly read in that some... | |
| KEF LS50 and Rogue Cronus II integrated amp Thanks timber77,Where I live there is no one dealer who has both. I don't mind "punting" on buying the combo. To round it out I'm planning on adding a Rega turntable (not sure which one yet) and a low priced cd player (for starters). | |
| High quality CD recordings Broadstone- My personal favorite Ralph Towner cd (originally on vinyl) is "Solstice". Jan Garbarek is on it. Very enjoyable (IMO). | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th From what I've read so far, there aren't many major manufactures attending that appeal to me. I didn't see either Lyric or Innovative Audio (vendors) attending either. I don't want to go and mainly check out cables, headphones or 2nd/3rd tier manu... | |
| Epos 10 I have compared the Epos against the Totem speakers you mention. I initially head the Epos els3 and one of the 2 Totem models. At first it's easy to prefer the Totem's highs compared to the Epos highs. Pop music, jazz, and the like sounded more at... | |
| JVC XRCD 24 from Hong Kong HI Zd542 - Thanks for your reply. My cd looks very real as well as the packaging. As I mentioned the sound is very good. | |
| Sara K cd recommendations Thanks everyone for your replies. I will check them out. The XRCD version of "Hell or High Water" is hard to find without paying a significant premium over list. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I haven't hear the MMMicro's yet. I wish the company would set up a national dealer network so most folks could go to a local store and hear them. I am very reluctant to buy a pair without extensive listening (not at a show) and with a variety of ... |
