| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I do not know the seller, but for my taste I have never seen a better sound-for-dollar deal than this:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis97jgj-analysis-audio-omega-analysis-omega-planarsI have mind just to buy them, even though I have new speake... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? They lack the initial impression of what Harbeth and Devore market but the Ryan R630 are the $5k speakers that made me look inward to seriously consider if being more ambitious was really worth the extra expense. They are ridiculously well balance... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? Ohala,Excellent observation, however are you buying the equipment for reselling or are you buying it to enjoy it. Good ListeningPeterI am not speculator. I would like to have equipment as a store of value as much as possible so I can have flexibil... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? From a buyer's perspective the slow-down has largely selected out smaller, less well marketed companies because the prospect of reselling them is awful. Also the asking price for some models of electronics is incredibly high, higher than what they... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under If you really do not want subs and your goal is LF extension, the JBLs will not likely work for you. Their efficiency and other things are maintained in part by early bass rolloff. The spec graph is on JBL’s website. I am completely unfamiliar wit... | |
| Received your Magnepan 30.7’s Yet The 30.7s will be demoed Friday at Audio Concepts. I hope to make it. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? "Wasn't there a company making cabinets out of cast concrete?"Maybe you are thinking of different brand, but early Hales speakers had concrete baffles. Paul Hales switched to MDF because of economy in creation and exporting the heavy speakers. I c... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? If certain recordings are a problem and the "bass quality is great" I would assume a tone control and/or maybe some seat or speaker positioning experimentation would be fruitful, though I do relate to the idea that bookshelf speakers commonly have... | |
| JBL 4312SE 70th Anniversary ? Is JBL on a roll? The L100 Classic, COMING SOON. I think the price is ~ $4k. | |
| Best Speakers for Very Large Bright Room I also have a bit of a racquet ball court of a room. While low distortion speakers with a good dispersion like the personas and KEFs can help I think you will spinning the wheels to solve your problem. You could toe-in the fronts, maybe significa... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers What was the amplification used at the store? I wonder if your dealer could help you out experimenting with a pre/amp other than ARC. I do not know specifically about KEF break-in, but speakers do not generally go from bad to good sounding. Bright... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I enjoyed your A3 audition impressions. I heard them at Lone Star Audio Fest, a small but now a better respresented audio show. My audition was short with unfamiliar music in a carefully setup, oversized hotel room. https://www.flickr.com/photos/6... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Time?Is It As Good As You Dreamed? Audio did not happen to me; I sought it out starting at various dealers in the late nineties. The really nice gentlemen at Audio Insight, a Dallas area dealer long since closed, entertained a kid in his late teens with an audition of Hales Revelat... | |
| "Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them? Wilson just came out with the Tune Tot, a smallish bookshelf intended for restricted placement options. The price is about $10k, I believe. | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Is there a speaker with flatter frequency response, better imaging or that disappears better at ~$15k than KEF Reference 3? I am not particularly a fan or a detractor, but it certainly fits the bill. |
