| Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL I have owned the fathom 113v2 with CR1 and the S510s. The companies obviously different philosophies. While JL's features are all about the frequency response, REL has videos suggesting positioning by way of impulse/timing in reference to the main... | |
| ATC SCM 50A active towers review My brief experience between the 40 and 50 is the is generally the same in that the 50 are much more ambitious and deliver an impressive experience unique to ATC , while the 40 is a competitive speaker amongst a large number of competitive models m... | |
| Spade jumpers for 803d3 I believe there are 1/4" and larger, 9mm posts. I have B&W 707 S2 and older cables with spades that I am sure were meant for 1/4". I can get them on, but it is snug. The cableco carries jumpers. Obviously making a set would be easy. | |
| KEF Meta Reference 1's? anyboy heard them? I know the Reference 1 and the LS50, although not the meta versions. While the R1 fixes bass oriented problems and congestion with the LS50 and is a way better speaker, it has the same KEF type sound. It also is not as bright, ime. The R1 also has... | |
| Acora speakers at Axpona Looks cool. Wish I was there to hear them. They remind me of YG's initial models and older Rosso Fiorentinos which also used Scanspeak drivers in an ambitious enclosures. | |
| dust protection for turntables I have a larger than average turntable for which I ordered a hinged acrylic cover from stereosquares that is about an inch or so wider than the turntable. I gave them the dimensions including cable cutouts. The hinged portion is too heavy for wand... | |
| Axpona: Who's going & when? Good to see you post, Sean. Hope you are doing well. Not that I am a particularly avid audiophile, I have posting since 2000. Haven't been to Axpona since they moved it out of Rosemont. Hopefully next year, though. Don't be a stranger. | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers I like the wider baffle look like Voxativ 9.87 and especially the LaHave floor stander with a whizzer that I seen at a couple shows. Pictures do not do that speaker justice. Some of the Cabasse speakers give me the newbie-jeebies. Giant eyeball..... | |
| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers I really like the well balanced tone of Aerial 5t speakers, a goldilocks of pleasant vs open/detailed. Unfortunately I have not seen them for demo in some time. First hand experience is the only really experience...good luck. | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? I would rely upon your digital setup with music or a test CD for speaker placement. I like a laser pointed at a target at the listening position to achieve symmetric toe-in. The distance between the speakers - obviously including symmetry to the l... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? I heard that Rega had help from an F1 parts maker to help tool their belts. | |
| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? I have a a lot of respect for Vandersteen. Driver/frequency integration is fantastic. The bass EQ is an enticing feature, although certainly not full proof in the case of acoustic phase issues. Every audiophile should hear them. Since they are so ... | |
| Server for Bricasti M1/3 Thank you all for your insights. It seems the only direction is up. | |
| Is system synergy worth having matched components? I am in a similar jam. I found an amp that matches my speakers, which simply was correct vs wrong compared to other amps I tried. It is weird that it is balanced Levinson proceeded by single ended Lamm preamp. I have heard the all Levinson amplifi... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? A lot of us have come across a number of procedures and formulas about speaker positioning that rely on subjective listening. My experience is that listener position alters the LF response over speaker position at ratio of about 3:1 measured dista... |
