| Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i Some years ago I had an A5 combo (CD and integrated) and they worked very well with Focal Micro Be and Dynaudio Contour S1.4 speakers. However, MF works also very nicely with B&W, Monitor Audio (as already mentioned), Dali and most likely quit... | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. Bmwmcab, my initial impression was that the OP is asking for speaker recommendation. However, after re-reading the initial post it is clear that that may not be necessarily the case. Though, I still can not tell whether the OP is just concerned ab... | |
| Focal Scala or Diablos with subs? Bo1972, I agree with what you are saying. Electronic correction has come a very long way in the last years. I use an Accuphase room correction unit for some time now with wonderful results. IMO it is a must for SOTA bass and stereo image. Initiall... | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. It's your room not the speakersThe OP did not talk about any problems, only asked opinions about speakers that might work fine in his small room. While I agree that electronic correction/equalization can do wonders, it is naive to think that you c... | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. IMO, both Luvs2listen and Bob_reynolds have given very good advices. For speakers, I would recommend Dynaudio sealed monitors e.g. Audience 42 sat or Contour S R, complemented with a sealed subwoofer.Also, whether or not you will excite any room m... | |
| Cremona M vs. Pioneer/TAD s-1ex Very interesting post Tom6897. I remember (vaguely) that some years ago I have listen in the same room on the same electronics the Focal Electra 1027Be and the Pioneer S-1EX speakers. To me the Pioneers sounded much better even though they were si... | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. No_regrets, why would you want to put speakers in her room? Would you like if she was putting things she likes (e.g. shoes) in your dedicated room? :) | |
| Focal Scala or Diablos with subs? Bo1972, I believe your comment about the REL was address to me. Firstly, IMO the concept of slow subwoofer is a misnomer. Most often it is the resonances in the room that give one the impression that a sub is slow, i.e. bass notes hang into the ro... | |
| Adding an Accuphase A-46 Hi Dave, as you know the damned Accuphase boxes are expensive and addictive (once you have one you will want more). So in the last 4 years or so I've listened rather extensively to quite a few Accuphase units. I did my homework well before both Ac... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS Hi guys,Atmasphere, thanks for clarifying the situation. Before reading this post, I though it was common knowledge, but after seeing that nobody has pointed it out, I realize that maybe it was just my hunch. If you do not mind, I have another que... | |
| Adding an Accuphase A-46 Hi Classact,I have also answer your other post about the E-560, so maybe this reply is a bit redundant. However, I disagree with some of the things mentioned so far.Firstly, IMO using the E-560 as a pre-amp is a (big) compromise. Not only it will ... | |
| Anyone tried biamping with an Accuphase E-560? Classact, I had a look at the Accuphase manuals (E-560, A-46 and also A-100) and I do not think you will be able to use both the pre-amp and power amp section of your E-560 at the same time in a bi-amp/bridged configuration. The only way to use yo... | |
| Anyone tried biamping with an Accuphase E-560? If buying an A-46 or a P-6100 is not a problem, then my advice is to trade in your E-560 for an Accuphase pre-amp (e.g. the recently discontinued C-2410)I've recently moved from an E-550 integrated to a A-45 & C-2410 combo and it was a solid u... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS Unsound, with all due respect, please leave it at that. Let others with first hand experience in building and measuring tube and ss amplifiers answer my question. It is a perfectly logical question. | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS Unsound, of course "overdriving" an amp is also not good. But I have never suggested that. With normal speakers one most often uses a few watts (e.g 5 watts) for typical listening levels, whereas with very efficient speakers one most often uses be... |
