| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. Open, not boxed in. Airy, crystal clear. Rythmic, fast, with accurate separation and decay. A touch of warmth, body. Very well controlled, tight bass. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice As for the OP, I’m on the exact same boat TBH and I’m targeting Focal, Borrensen, Vandersteen, Persona, YG within that range. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice @ellajeanelle , “jl35: Aren’t the speakers themselves unnecessary? Logic tells me that most able to spend 20K on a pair of speakers would likely be traveling first class, staying at a 4–5-star hotel and eating in nice restaurants, not including d... | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... Aside from the recommendations, I’m also building a short list. YG Ascent Focal Scala Utopia Evo (used)/Sopra 2 new, as Sopra 3 would be too big Paradigm Persona 7F Magico S3 MK2 used | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Stability as in level, speed, reduced wow/flutter are all very important imo. So the table, tonearm and cartridge as a system matters a lot. But possibly the cartridge less so than the table and arm. | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows The original post is from 2009.... | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... @carlsbad2 , agreed somewhat, because keep in mind there are side mounted woofer designs. Bass waves aren’t directional. But yes I don’t necessarily want to give up large drivers. | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... @carlsbad2 , I am surprised to hear! I thought Tektons were very popular here? Anyway, if you read carefully, I am looking for something with perhaps a smaller footprint or the same....they could be taller, I actually like slim and tall speakers l... | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... @stereo5 , because they are huge, Signatures are already pretty large. One of the reasons for change is something slimmer, could be taller but looking at a smaller footprint. As for YouTube, it’s fine for casual listening but I use Tidal for str... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s Hmm, very surprised. My room is a bit bigger and have owned the Signatures for 5 years or so, and have measured these to go down to 22HZ in my room. In fact I didn't go for the Focus because they'd overwhelm my room. | |
| Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200 @bhvf - thanks. I personally tend to enjoy the R2R designs, hence Rockna as an upgrade option. I also prefer a slightly warm presentation, and truth be told, we need to be honest about preferences as well.....if someone says they prefer dead neutr... | |
| Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200 @bhvf - Did you compare the Rockna Wavedream to the T+A 200? I have been meaning to purchase the Rockna for a while, and am very familiar with T+A quality. Now all the positive reviews are intriguing to me - so I would definitely love to hear your... | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? Anything from Sonus Faber would fit the bill, Totem also make small floorstanders. | |
| Replacing dead woofer on ProAc Tablette Sig 50 (NYC area)? I would take out the dead woofer, look at the brand serial number, and order a replacement - if still available. Otherwise I will match the specs and order another similar pair. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often I personally have. Dynaudios are hard to drive, I don't buy them anymore, even though they are very high quality. Hard to drive speakers aren't fun at low volumes. |
