| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great rlb61As I said, I have a similar concern. Most subwoofer users will say you should crossover fairly high, 80Hz being a typical recommendation. Then, in passing those to a subwoofer that you can place optimally and/or DSP, you get to refine the... | |
| Thiel Owners tomtheil"I much preferred the musical presentation on the wood joist floor. "I have found the same when I've tried various footers under my Thiels.I end up prefering the sound just sitting on the wood floor (actually on the carpet sitting on the w... | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great @rlb61I know the feeling.(I own JA Perspectives and Thiel 2.7 speakers).I’ve never felt a burning need for a subwoofer, but like anyone I can be swayed by all the talk about how subwoofers substantially improve a sound system, even when you add th... | |
| Thiel Owners I have the 2.7s and some jl audio e110 subwoofers....but haven't really set them up yet. Been too lazy and the 2.7s sound so good on their own.I've had the 2.7s back in my system for months (sidelining my JA Perspectives for now) and just love the... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps I did have a little audition of the P2 graphene model at my dealers. Unfortunately they were set up too close to the back wall so the bass was overblown, which was a bummer, as that apparently is where the new version is improved most.Aside from ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps jm1221,No prob.Have you thought of upgrading them to the graphene version?Also, is there any area of performance you find wanting in the Perspectives? I auditioned a ton of speakers before settling on the Perspectives and perhaps I can point towa... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps I still own JA Perspectives (and hope to upgrade). Love them. But I switch between the JA's and my Thiel 2.7s, and enjoy both. The Thiels in my system are a bit more full and rich from top to bottom with more dense imaging, the Josephs more ref... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Electronics will have a huge part in this equationNo, not "huge." Not even remotely as big a part as the speakers. | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 dznutzI agree that someone should have his expectations in check to a degree.The size of the sound and the bass that comes out of the Perspectives is really surprising. However, yes, we are talking about fairly small drivers (though long excursio... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Audio Physic Virgo II. These image like nothing I've ever heard (and I've been to a few shows). I used to own a pair and 'upgraded' to MBL 121s. Even though others have cited the MBLs as imaging masters, the Virgos were even better IMHO. I miss... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 I use Conrad Johnson Premier 12 mono block tube amps (140W side).The combination works great. The Perspectives are supposed to work well with tube amps even though they aren't very high sensitivity, due to their benign impedance which tends to st... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 The Perspectives have among the most engaging, fun bass of any speaker I've heard. It just has this beautiful combination of richness, tightness, punch the air reach-out-and-feel it. It's one of the reasons I fell for the Perspectives. I'm not... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Perspective mr tiger...Sorry, but it's been quite a while since I auditioned the Perspective 2s.I believe I noted a slightly more nuanced and clear midrange, but hard to tell without a direct comparison. The bass is supposed to be one of the biggest areas o... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 Do NOT get the Joseph Perspectives if you have to place them close to the back wall. They put out plenty of bass, a bunch of it from their port, and they do not do well close to wall boundaries. (I've auditioned them in a space like mine before ... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? I do Sound Design for film and tv.Like anyone working in the film industry, it's ebb and flow work-wise.When you see pricey gear in my house, it's been a good year ;-)Other years there may be some belt-tightening. I've learned to navigate the up... |
