| Speaker Efficiency @marktheshark I think you already have one of the best speaker matches (Forte) for the Decware. As others have mentioned, thanks to the ambiguity of speaker sensitivity ratings (adjusted for impedence? echoic vs anechoic?) many speakers measure f... | |
| Speaker Efficiency When you mentioned 80db at your listening position I’m assuming you mean peak not average, which isn’t all that loud. The power needed to increase volume is logarithmic, you can still get to relatively loud levels with low power. Tubes also soft... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte Wow great video. I think this fleshed out the differences much better than the one Steve Huff did. The La Scala and Forte were the most impressive. I think the Khorns could have been placed a little better. Really loved the sound of the La Scalas,... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte I wonder why they got rid of the Quartet, there's plenty of room price wise between the Heresy at 3,200 and Forte at 5k, its actually a bigger price gap then the Forte to the Cornwall (6,600), especially when expressed as a % increase. Worried it... | |
| Zu audio @larryi You nailed it, that's exactly how I would describe the Zu Omens I auditioned. Loud and dynamic yes, but also a bit sibilant, thin and edgy. I love loud music (peaks around 90db) but these were speakers I wanted to turn down and became fat... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte The entire IV series has the upgraded mid-range horns. If that's not your cup of tea skip the Forte IV. I think many would agree it was a welcome change, but you can't please all the people all the time. | |
| Connecting Subwoofer’s to Willsenton R8 A simple solution for streaming is to get a device like the Bluesound node which includes a sub out. Maybe they have phono amps with sub outs as well, but having sub connectivity at the source level would be ideal. | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte Forte, much more open, bigger soundstage. For this particular song I can see why you might prefer the Heresy, it does a better job recreating the vintage characteristics of the original mono recording. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I’m pretty sure I’m done w speakers, now amplification on the other hand, I’ve got 4 right now, selling 2 and shopping for another. 6 if you count receivers. I can’t stop, I’ve owned dozens. | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan I think "loss leader" was meant as a compliment, these seem like an evolution of the M3 Sapphires which started a little under 5k I think. So at 3k that's a pretty good deal, and I suspect prices will go up as he makes further refinements and cos... | |
| Streaming with the Hegel H390 DACs rely almost entirely upon a persons cognitive dissonance to perform, thats why the recommendations get better and better as they go up in price. If you really want to find out for yourself buy a few streamers and DAC models at various price ... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan These have me interested as well. I don't need them, I don't really have the space for them, I just want them. I like the idea of completing the trifecta of box, horns & OB speakers and owning all of my favorite speaker topologies. That price... | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? Klipsch Cornwall IV or Forte IV. Nothing fills a large space like horns. Aside from a speaker upgrade you get an amplifier upgrade as well since it won't have to work nearly as hard. The Cornwall and Forte are close in performance, with the Corn... | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? It all depends on the room and listening volume, but I wouldn't use the term overkill by any means. I'd love to see Nelson update their integrated range, and yes to more black models with that blue dial. | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! Cerwin Vega AT-12 - Blew these up in college. I was the scourge of my dorm, glorious bass & epic volume that sounded best after 12am. Wharfedale Diamond 7.2 - The Diamond series has one of the best price/performance ratios. The gateway s... |
