| what speakers to buy If you want end game speakers that you won’t grow tired of 3 years from now, look toward the British brands such as Spendor, ProAC, and ATC, but consider Vandersteen as well. I’ve heard that kind of thing often, and I understand it’s usually put f... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Hi randy,I had an extensive "build thread" on AVS for my home theater/2 channel room reno. It's still there but unfortunately all my pictures were hosted on a site that moved from free to paid hosting, and since I didn't pay eventually all the pi... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers twm3,I'm on the fence with the looks of the JansZen speakers (I've been interested in hearing them). They look promising, sort of a mix of retro and modern. It's the type of thing that would look chintzy if the build quality is average, but if ... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers inna,I wasn’t being mean. Notice I was making a joke, and then asking you to explain further how you listen.I agree imaging isn’t everything (it’s down my list of priorities, though I like it).But obviously it’s usual for audiophiles - e.g. those ... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers jon,My living room (in which we put our nice furniture and decor) was good sounding even before I remodeled it with an acoustician. It had an asymmetrical layout with bay windows, a wide opening to a hallway, and a good ratio of furniture and live... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers inna,"I rarely just sit down and listen, "Wait. What? You don’t sit down and listen to music?Did you wander into a high end audio forum by mistake? :-)Can you explain further: Do you just listen to high end audio as background music for other acti... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers If aesthetics are important then the sound will never be great. That’s simply not the case.First, I’ve had numerous speakers I think were aesthetically beautiful that sounded great. Further, the more expensive speakers tend to be the more beautifu... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily,Well, if you are soliciting opinions: I prefer to spend money on something that is actually likely to have an audible impact. But that kind of opinion tends to fall on deaf ears in the audiophile tweak world, and I ain't gonna tell s... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Ha, the first thing that came to my mind was almost the opposite of the OP’s view. My first impulse is to say build better looking speakers!!!!!Aesthetics are important to me, speakers are a form of furniture - I will be placing them in a room who... | |
| what speakers to buy sbs38,I'm curious: has the Merlin sound changed over the years?I had experience with the older VSMs that everyone used to rave about.For me they utterly epitomized "hi-fi" that was detailed and quick, but dry and utterly without soul or tonal colo... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin,Congrats on the 3.7s!"These guys just vanish in an almost spooky way."Yep, it's really something isn't it? Pretty much every review remarks on that quality of the Thiels. And the fact they "disappear" through the entire spectrum, bass ... | |
| Anyone listen to the new audio physics Kodex speaker? sunnyjim,The same could be said about many if not most high end audio products. The Codex are under $20,000. The Avanti certainly sounded competitive with numerous offerings I heard around the same price or more. FWIW, the 6 Moons review of th... | |
| Anyone listen to the new audio physics Kodex speaker? I don't know if you can fix your thread title, but they are spelled "Codex."Anyway, I've been quite interested in the Codex. I've always loved audio physic speakers, have owned them before. A local place has AP speakers and I went to listen to ... | |
| Thiel Owners What Song, Album or Genre do you use to set up your speakers ?Well I truly love all types of music so I'll go through quite a variety, from electronica, disco, rock, funk, jazz, classical, folk, world...you name it. If I'm auditioning a speaker I... | |
| what speakers to buy I've been interested in hearing the Boenicke speakers given their growing rep for great sound in a small form factor. Unfortunately they have very little North American presence (non in Canada). Probably the most open and natural sounding speaker... |
