| Speakers for small room,near field Stereomaniac I don't think your room is that small especially if you place the speakers firing into the 30 feet. As audiojerry stated it's not just how far you listen. If you were six feet away from your speakers sitting a foot away from the back ... | |
| Placebo Effect...a good thing? Great Post Hueske! A civil discussion on Double Blind, testing imagine that. Lak EE= Electrical Engineering something I know nothing about. Anyway, some of the best comments on this topic I've read. I agree w/ you completely Hueske. I think Dbw1 h... | |
| A minor rant Hifiho, do you have a schematic for the anechoic chamber? I'd like to build one. My question is if I stick just my head in it, won't my head be too low for the optimal listening height? Perhaps we can design a special listening suit we can wear in... | |
| best amp new or used for 1200 You may be able to get either a Bryston 4B ST, Aragon 8008ST (or 8008BB0, or a Mccormack for that price. | |
| best cd's to impress your friends with.. Audioguy, have you heard "angel" on the Mirrorball album? It's Sarah M. live. I have both albums and I find the Mirrorball version much more passionate. I think she put alot more heart into it when singing in front of a live audience. | |
| Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE Comchenry, just out of curiousity, you felt the PtoAc 2.5's overwhelmed your 13x26x14 room? I would think that is a pretty large room and fine for the 2.5's. Just curious. | |
| Trelja in New York I agree w/ Joe, it was just his opinion and I can either agree or disagree with it. In some cases I disagree, but we all have our opinions. The show also seemed to care as they had ballots for attendees to pick not only the best 3 sounds at the sh... | |
| Trelja in New York I wish I would have met some of you. I agree w/ some not with others. The Vandersteen/Cary was great. I also like the Innovative Audio's(a local NYC dealer)Wilson/Spectral stuff, but was not impressed by the same dealers Sonus Faber/Levinson demo.... | |
| new amp vs old amp What are your other components? I recently played around with two different amps that I owned (Aragon 8008BB & Pass Labs X150) It was a quick audtion in my own room with my gear. The differences were subtle in some recordings obvious in others... | |
| Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas? Two suggestions: ProAc Repsonse 3.8 and higher or Dynaudio Contour 3.3 and higher. Great speakers. Dynaudio's are somewhat inefficient and need lots of quality amp power. ProAC's mate well w/ Pass gear. Read some other threads of these two brands. | |
| Aragon Amps I own the Aragon 8008BB and I am trying to sell it. It has been a great amp and agree mostly w/ madisonears comments. I also think Mondial Designs (the manufacturer of the Aragon) has excellent customer service. I purchased a used Aragon Soundstag... | |
| Upgade... Amp choices??? Sorry didn't finish. If you find these speakers better buy them or the others you mentioned and then perhaps invest in an amp. While others may disagree, I find the difference between speakers the most obvious. The differences between amps while d... | |
| Upgade... Amp choices??? I'm surprised you heard NO difference between a B&W N805 and Polks. Even with a receiver I would think the B&W would sound different. Perhaps you meant the B&W did not sound better. I own the N805's which I'm selling on ebay (shameless... | |
| Why pay "more" for USED?? I was so curious about this auction and nervous as now I have a pair of B&W 805's on ebay, I emailed the seller and told them about this thread on audiogon. They were nice enough to respond. Here's what they said:Hey,Thanks for sending the lin... | |
| Why pay "more" for USED?? I have to agree with Macm that something doesn't smell right. However, I really don't believe the seller's were trying to cheat since they included and honest and very detailed discription of the speakers. I thought it might be shield bidding. Tha... |
