| Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch? You have some good choices by other members so far. I would also add Montana speakers to the list. The EPS2s are 92 db efficient and are extremely happy with medium powered tube amps. They will play VERY loud VERY effortlessly, but handle any type... | |
| Sophia 2 against a wall, with Meridian processor? Agree with onhwy61. Your room sounds like a sonic nightmare. I wouldn't even consider spending the kind of $$ you are talking about with the constraints you have. If you can't allocate a different room, I would go with something much more modest a... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be? Tarsando,Why do you keep recomending the Minis, speakers that you have never even heard? And especially when in every instance, they are priced well above the price range of the speakers actually in question.Oz | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 with/without the subwoofer amp I think more than an amp/speaker interface issue, you have room problems that need to be solved. Sounds like you and/or the speakers are in a room reinforcing mode, most likely 80-100 Hz. I would try moving youself and the speakers around a bit. A... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck 294 >It is impossible to compare turntables with different cartridges which require different loading and setup.<Good point.....Oz | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Sometimes when I am groovin' on some music being spun my TRL modified Sony DVD player and I think "wow, that sounds so good, why do I even need vinyl"......Then I spin a record and it's all over.......it comes back to me.....Oz | |
| Sistrum under VonSchweikert VR-4JR >They were great<"Were" great? Are the speakers or the stands gone? Or both?Oz | |
| Sistrum under VonSchweikert VR-4JR One thing you have to be careful about when placing speakers on stands is the off axis dispersion of the tweeter. If you elevate the speaker out of that "zone" where it was designed to be listened to, you might not like the effect. My buddy just t... | |
| Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ??? You would go a long way to restoring credibility if you would shut down your shill, hifisoundguy. He even posts at Audio Asylum under different monikers. If he is indeed not on your payroll, it might be wise of you to distance yourself from his tr... | |
| Joseph Audio RM33si vs. Coincident Super Eclipse Kennetsu,They were nice enough, but I would never pay full retail for them. I paid half that on the used market and feel that there is far better to be had in that price range. Bottom line is that they are good speakers, not great ones. And they h... | |
| Joseph Audio RM33si vs. Coincident Super Eclipse Beanie,You are correct, it is a 5.25" driver, a typo on my part. However, this is directly from the website:>Midrange/woofers: (Super Eclipse III)Only the finest 5" carbon fiber cone units were deemed appropriate and were therefore selected. Th... | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers Your turntable will be your most important component.....;-}If you don't have one, you should.......Oz | |
| Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ??? Duke,I think you are absolutely right. I thought the same thing, but didn't think my post would see the light of day.Oz | |
| Joseph Audio RM33si vs. Coincident Super Eclipse I had a pair of SE IIIs for a brief period, and I do mean brief. When I pulled one of the drivers out, what did I see? A Scanspeak 4" midrange as advertised? Nope, an Audax. Whassup with that?Oz | |
| Break in period >or better "the myth" of the "break in period<I assure the break-in is not a myth. And if you had a system capable of resolivng it, you would find that most componenets benefit from this "myth".Oz |
