| Dynaudio c1 signature Raindog031, since you have mentioned several times that funds are limited, my recommendation would be to buy the C1 Mk1 model. C1 mk1 is a marvelous speaker. Also, IMO the mk2 version does not improves significantly upon the mk1 model (if at all).... | |
| Cardas Speaker placement.. Clio, thank you very much for the two links. I've found the first link myself but did not find the explanations very clear. The second link you sent me gives a better description of the procedure (IMO). I will study the procedure closely and give ... | |
| Cardas Speaker placement.. Spaz, be also aware that the two parallel walls of a rectangular room are often not equivalent. That is, placing the speakers close to the right wall or the left wall will often give you very different results. Thus, you might also want to rotate ... | |
| Cardas Speaker placement.. Hi Spaz, After reading this thread I have looked at you system. It look glorious! We just moved to a new home and in the last 3-4 months I too was looking for the bass in my new music/study room. Firstly, since also other speakers exhibited the sa... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? I have to take Missioncoonery side here.Just to put things in perspective French_fries, if you would go to say 10 dealers and tell them this story most likely all of them will demo for you the B&Ws with decent electronics but not the Q1s and t... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. I disagree with Billybob7088. DACs and CD players only get cheaper and arguably better, i.e. decently priced DACs and CD players are often comparable with older and very expensive units). With the speakers the trend is exactly opposite, i.e. new m... | |
| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? Since it seems that many people are a bit confused about this topic, I hope you guys do not mind if I sum up the good responses posted so far and also add some of my own believes and experience on the discussed topics. Large speakers in small roo... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. Like Ddd1 has already advised you, get the best amplified studio monitors you can, e.g. Mackie, Dynaudio, Genelec, Focal, etc. If you still have some money left after buying the speaker get a DAC with an analog volume control, but IMO this is less... | |
| Replace my Usher be718 ? If you are looking for 2nd hand speakers then you should have quite a few options:Focal: Micro Utopia, Micro Utopia Be and Electra 1007/1008 BeDynaudio: Confidence C1 mk1, Contour S1.4, Confidence C3 Wilson Cub, Sonus Faber Cremona M, B&W 805O... | |
| Searching for new speakers: Wilson, B&W, ?? Hi Vdosc,My experience is that with almost al speakers (priced for mortals) a subwoofer is mandatory in order to have good bass when listening at low levels. Luckily you have a sub already. Also, often floorstanders need to be cracked up a bit in ... | |
| If you would have to choose between Focal and B&W. Hi Sisco,I have some experience with both speakers so bear with me...About a year ago I bought a Focal dome 2.1 system for our living room as my wife was using my rather expensive stereo set-up to watch the news and nat. geo. :)The Focal sub is cr... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range Hi Narut,It is not clear to me wheather you refer to the current, i.e. diamond, or previous, i.e. D, lines of B&W, but nonetheless, if I were you I would chose between:1) either the 800D (previous model) or 800 diamond (current model) in the c... | |
| Where to have Focal speakers worked on? About two years ago I have damaged the tweeter of one of my Micro Be speakers while moving. I have called Focal in France and they directed me to the Belgium importer. They have repaired my speaker very quickly (around two weeks) but I have paid d... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Congratulations for the new integrated Bill. I look forward to hear how does the Emitter compare to the Trivista 300 integrated. | |
| Recommendations for monitor/bookshelf speakers Rar1 makes a good point. If your shelves are closed it might be better to get smaller speakers (that put out less bass and have more rigid cabinets) and complement them with a musical subwoofer, e.g. Rel. |
