| Borresen X3 measurements @mbmi This statement is just NOT true...Michael Borresen is one of the most talented speaker designers in the world. The design problems with that speaker Uncovered by the measurements Are certainly true. And if Michael Borresen Designed... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements @kennymacc Measurements, smeasurements........The speakers haven’t receive almost universal praise by accident!!! Actually, they don’t seem to have received universal praise. Erins review is hardly high praise, and some comments in this thread... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker @calgarian5355 I own the Joseph audio perspective 2. I’ve got mine in a 15’ x 13’ room working great, so I’m sure they would work in your room. They do need to be well clear of the back wall. You are certainly being given a great ... | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 Ironically, that’s a question. I sought to answer myself, but I’m not sure I ever truly answered. When I had both the 3.7 and 2.7 at the same time, I found it they were very close in terms of the sense of bass depth. Altho... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Well, certainly the spendors Don’t have the scale, slam and drama Of the big Thiels. But speaking just on tone, the Thiels are also Fantastic. I think they are more neutral, but also let through the Golden tone of my CJ tube amps, The end resu... | |
| Thiel Owners Here’s one of my dream tweaks for my 2.7s replace the front baffle, Which I think is MDF, With a thicker constrained layer damped aluminum Baffle. Also, I’d like to hear my Thiels with the grills off, However I am allergic to the look of ... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. cool. Thanks for the further details. I’m glad you found your solution. Coincidentally, I spent a long time experimenting With various heights and materials underneath my When making a platform for them to stand on. Changing the height an... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. So, I will reiterate : "Everything matters" actually does mean every thing! ^^^^ Actually, everything probably doesn’t matter. And it’s probably just that mindset that led you to take two years to figure out something that probably could’... | |
| Toe in is crucial @fynnegan I raised my Joseph audio perspective speakers up several inches on footers and a marble platform, and the result was a wonderful Increase in height and overall soundstage scale. | |
| JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2 @tjraubacher I’ve owned both Joseph, audio speakers and Harbeth. I’ve got a good bead on their sonic qualities. (You might also look up Herb Reichart’s review of the Joseph pulsars’s As he compares them to the Harbeth monitor and he nails the ... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Thanks! That’s what I figured. As I mentioned, I’ve heard the Harbeth 40s And my descriptions would be similar. Unfortunately, my room situation is complicated and wide speakers Won’t work well in the room. However, I’ve got my Joseph perspe... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq bumping my question to you above :-) | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq I forgotten you were the one with the thread comparing the Joseph audio perspectives to the Harbeth SuperHL5+. And you went with the josephs. How interesting that you have now swapped the Josephs for the Harbeth 40. I’d ... | |
| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do I use the Townsend pods under my turntable and I’m very happy. Several years ago, I bought a high mass turntable - a trans rotor fat Bob S - and I had a flimsy small Lovan rack sitting on a sprung wood floor to work with. The combinat... |
