| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Audio, no way. I've listened to lots of speakers (dozens) over the years (I'm glad you know how many I have though) and if I go back and listen to them again, in the same set up (friends houses, dealers), they sound different from what I remember,... | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? You guys are nuts lol.For a more realistic answer, but still not what the OP wants, invest/save the money. Seriously. At least put it in an IRA. I didn't spend any money on audio (kept my old high school system of low fi junk all through college) ... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Audio...Nah, I don't buy that. I know what you are saying, but listening to speakers for even a good hour with different setups and equipment than yours is not going to give you an accurate representation of what they really sound like. I mentione... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? So I'm looking at the Dynaudio line now, but am concerned with some models low sensitivity and ohm rating. But they are supposed to be lively and quick speakers. Looking at:Audience 42/52DM 2/7 DM 2/6Contour S1.4Excite X12Focus 110 140Unsure of pr... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? I think the boxer's are out of my price range this time. I could buy them, but I guess I'd rather try cheaper first. I did email Carl Marchisotto and got the standard msrp price, then I asked about B stock or what happened to the Nola Mini's which... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Grr...look around and just find more speakers instead of crossing some off my list! :POk, so any input on these Dalis? The Ikon 1 and 2; Lektor 1, 2, and 3 are all on sale NEW at good prices, especially the Ikon 1.I don't know about 2 tweeters, bu... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Ok, so I'm looking at the Quad 12L2 (good price used, although I'm still wary of used...were these really $1200 new? I've seen more like $800 new...). I like the forward description, but not the edgy in the high mids one. Also like the aspect that... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Regarding the Boxer, it is looking good to me. However, I wonder if it is a bit "warm" or mid centric? Just wondering...I'm sure it is a superb speaker. I don't want a cold or clinical sound, but I don't want an overly warm or mushy one either. So... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? I know Timrhu, I didn't mean to imply he didn't.And yes, you never know until you get a speaker in your room, with your set up, and listen to it for hours/days with all sorts of material whether it will work for you or not. That's why I understand... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Thanks guys!Thanks for the recommendations Timrhu. I've heard of a few of those (at least the makers if not the models). Am I off in thinking that PSB and Polk are kind of mid-fi brands? You recommend them, but it seems A/V boards are filled with ... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? Ok, how about this:Good monitors in the $500 to $1000 ish range (new msrp anyway) for my setup/tastes? :D(SS preferences being, again: neutrality and transparency, detail and accuracy, articulation and revealing, tight/taut/lean bass instead of tu... | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers I have Usher S 520's and a Outlaw LFM 2 (8") sub. The Usher's bass starts to roll off around 70hz and goes down to about 50hz. I set my LFM's crossover at about 60-65hz and thus achieve a smooth transition from the Ushers to it for the lower bass.... |
