??? How Much Would You Spend ??? There doesn't have to be a specific price tag for a given pair of speakers. You could spend 10K on an amp for those speakers and a 5K amp might outperform it. There are too many variables to give a cookie cutter answer to this one. | |
Open baffle speakers @bache You are just being obtuse now. You are on some weird mission to denigrate OB speakers for some unknown (not really) reason. I understand how to take measurements with a Radio Shack SPL meter and test tones. And I know all about the co... | |

Open baffle speakers agree for 100% to produce bass 30 Hz baffle size must be HUGE Disagree. The Spatial Audio X3 with it’s powered 15" woofer could easily reach into the mid 20s with a baffle width of about 18". For all it’s other shortcomings, bass response and q... | |
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @grislybutter If one reads the specifics the OP is looking for, then "X" might be a good fit. Even if the person suggesting it owns "X". Now suggesting "X" only because you own it and love it, is not helpful. If I say I want a speaker that will... | |

New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @sls883 Understood and good choice. I have owned two versions of the VR4. Albert (RIP) made some damn fine speakers. | |
What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under @pdreher No, I really didn’t have any regrets. I liked the Parsifals a lot. They were just a little polite for metal and hard rock. I have since moved on to the Qualio IQs, which are good at all genres. I need to update my system page. | |
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @sls883 Very confusing. You say you stayed with the VS speakers, then you say the new speakers are an improvement. Which is it? | |
A brief review of GR Research Bully Thanks for the post. I looked at these in the past and thought they were interesting. How about a little insight into how they sound? | |
colibrie Drop the love, and keep the drunk. | |
Open baffle speakers It seems that @bache has a habit of starting controversial threads about OB speakers. Not a good look for a manufacturer who builds a competitive design. | |
Open baffle speakers @dbt The thing I didn’t like about the X3 was Clayton’s decision to use a 12” driver to reproduce the midrange. I never got the feeling that the midrange reproduction seemed “real”. There was no texture to voices and instruments. Dynamics were g... | |
Preamp upgrade I’ve owned the 3a several times and always enjoyed my time with it. Not sure about the 3b, but if it has the same amount of gain, then you need to consider that. These are extremely high gain preamps with wide steps on the attenuators. Not a good ... | |
Dodd Audio Preamp A few years ago I owned Danny’s Super V loudspeakers. These included the two woofer version of the OB subs. Although the coaxial driver was not ready for prime time, it was some of the best lower frequencies I’ve ever heard. |
