| Floor-Standards to Monitors? I've had many floor standing speakers and monitors (and still do have both). I always gravitate back to floor standing speakers as more satisfying, both for the fullness in frequency range, and for the size of the sound and the effortless quality... | |
| Looking for Teknasonic Vibration Absorber Well this is ironic. I had a bunch of those that I’d kept since the 90s. At least at the time I thought they made an agreeable difference when placed on my speakers. I’d stored them for so many years wondering if I’d ever use them again but I... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? audiokinesis,3. There can be either too much or too little energy in the reverberant field. Too much and clarity and imaging are degraded; too little and timbre is degraded.I’m sure it depend on how much you mean by "too much" in each case, but ge... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Would have included the Paradigm Persona's as well. | |
| High order crossovers trelja,I don’t buy your thesis; audiokinesis’ view seems more reasonable.I’ve owned a great many speakers (not to mention, like most here, I’ve heard countless speakers I don’t own). My Thiel 2.7s are in fact notable for their dynamic sense of liv... | |
| High order crossovers I’ve owned phase/time coherent speakers from Quad (ESL 63), Meadowlark, and Thiel (CS6, CS3.7 and CS2.7), and a lot of other designs using higher order crossovers.I still have no idea if there is something audibly different and inherent to a first... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging fsonicsmith,I know Shakey Graves. (Not exactly a fan, but he got on my radar due to some recommendation).As I've mentioned, I found the 0/96 and 0/93 imaging pretty good, even if not pin-point. I also really got yet another reminder of the impo... | |
| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected Makes sense.I have a thick shag rug (yeah baby!) covering my whole listening floor. No equipment between the speakers not only because the ergonomics wouldn't work in my room, but because I don't like to stare at equipment between speakers. I li... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging tangramca,What exactly did you not like about the imaging on the Devore speakers?I've auditioned them and found the imaging surprisingly good. Depth maybe a bit foreshortened though. | |
| How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting? mr_hosehead,I used (and still have) a dolly or "hand-truck" to move around my big Thiel 3.7 speakers. As I had to move them often enough, this got old pretty fast. It was necessary to get them from one room to another. But if I were only movin... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging one of the reasons i like to own several speakers w widely divergent design philosophy but from competent designers....Same here.I own Thiel and love the first order/time/phase coherence aspect of the design.But I also enjoy owning diverging desig... | |
| How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting? I had to move big speakers quite a bit. Herbie's gliders did the trick. | |
| Is It Possible? I do think part of the "shock" of hearing electrostatics like the Quads comes from the utterly boxless quality of the sound. It does help electrostatics sound very detailed, but I do think that even the perception of transparency detail is somew... | |
| Is It Possible? whart,Yep I agree.My desire for the palpability factor would probably lead me toward horns of some sort (though Lowther speakers can have this factor as well). And in fact I'd love to be able to try some. Unfortunately horns are just a bad fit ... | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? audiotroy,I agree you are in a tough position when giving praise to speakers like the Kef Blades which you sell. As you say, many high end dealers choose speaker lines that they are personally impressed by, and can feel good about selling. So n... |
