| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Even though the S3mkII lack the drama in scale and dynamics compared to the Salons, the Magicos have great tone. I find the Revels more threadbare. I don't know the A3 but don't see how it is not more restricted than the S3. Thanks for the LSAF re... | |
| Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ? The hd800 has a high frequency resonance issue mitigated by the 800S design. I’ve heard both. 800s is a really nice headphone. I think better control would be had using an equalizer. | |
| Choice of Vandersteen models I heard them before the stereophile review. I have heard a later version and the ct as well. First hand, I consider it a notable issue relating to the op question. I don’t google measurements to post them here. | |
| Choice of Vandersteen models The first version of the wood Quatro has a lower midrange suckout. Kind of like some older DM B&Ws but worse. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I think fast summed up the KEF range well. The point of it has been point source imaging and soundstage with even off-axis sound, but they certainly have drawbacks. I have heard this line many times. I think fast has to decide if the KEF R3 is wor... | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? Mounting hardware is hype! I use gum. No difference. | |
| Will an angled enclosure effect the sound of a passive radiator? The linked pictures relay upper frequency response issues related to edge diffraction and loss of bass response also due to diffraction. I am confused with the post’s reference to "resonance" and "in the box". http://www.aes.org/aeshc/pdf/how.the.... | |

| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Sorry, I did not clarify. Treos are good speakers. No problem with their extension; I find the LF is just not articulate. The quatros are better. I have heard the sub combo. It is not for me, so no argument there. The later quatros solve the midra... | |
| Psychological effects of volume control I once bought a used, more "sophisticated" preamp and encountered the same confusion; I was a monkey scratching its head. Mine has three volume controls, even worse. I sent it to Lamm to get it checked out, partly for the volume reason.You get use... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Outside of hearing them I don't know. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I would try to avoid the Quatros woods with lower midrange suckout. It is disctracting. I believe it is the first version. There is a later, non-CT iteration that did not have that problem. The quatros mostly solve the bass issue of the treos. | |
| "Innovations" rooms at RMAF 2017 The Beinville Suite at Axpona was awesome. I wish I was going to RMAF to hear your demo. Good luck. | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? Good description, papermill. My wife made friends with Greg and Gary at Axpona. Super cool guys. |
