| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? What Mapman said.I love my Reference 3A De Capo BE's, but I'm pretty certain I haven't gotten all I could out of them. If I had a dedicated listening room I'd look at room treatments that would probably milk even more performance out of them. | |
| What does "compression" like? Thanks a lot for all the educational replies, folks! Now I understand. And what I was asking about was dynamic range compression, not file size ("lossy") compression of digital files. Again, very helpful! | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? Enjoyed a pair of the original Vandersteen 2C's from the mid 1980's for many years. Sold them due to new, smaller listening room and very low WAF. ;-) No regrets, though: started me on a trade up path that has resulted in a much better (to my ears... | |
| Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker What Telescope_trade said, or their little brother, the Dulcet. Both are imaging monsters. | |
| Sloped baffle I think that Kiddman makes good points here. There are so many interactions and variables in the design of loudspeakers that it's got to be very hard to isolate which factor results in a speaker that you ultimately love.To wit: you couldn't have t... | |
| "Pure Heroine" sonics, CD vs. Vinyl Finally picked up the CD and I must say that it's quite good. The sonic quality of the tracks is a bit uneven; ironically, "Royals," the monster hit, sounds a little odd; so much reverb applied to the harmonized voices in the chorus that it has a ... | |
| Shrinking my system I'd look at De Capo's or even Dulcets, depending on volume needs and room size. Both are quite terrific. | |
| "Pure Heroine" sonics, CD vs. Vinyl Hmmmm... while not the most wonderfully engineered pop album ever, I understand that some manufacturers have been using cuts from this album at show demos, so I thought maybe somebody else here would have compared these formats. | |
| Recommend a recording that shows of soundstage Mercy Street, especially the opening bars, from Peter Gabriel's "So" album.A lot of the tracks on Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature" and especially the track called "True Companion" from the compilation "Steely Dan Gold.""Morning Bird" from Sade's ... | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Simao,Looking forward to your impressions! | |
| Nola Boxers vs. Reference 3A Dulcets But let me add that my room is only slightly larger than yours and for low to moderate volume the Dulcets did just fine. | |
| Nola Boxers vs. Reference 3A Dulcets I reviewed the Dulcets here:http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=speakers&m=318237That said, much as I adored the Dulcets, they will get congested if pushed too hard, so as suggested above by others, you may want to look at the De Capo BE. ... | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers I've always wanted to hear these. The WAF of a speaker that will sit against the front wall would be huge. :-) | |
| What great speakers can buy direct? Reference 3A if you have no local dealer. | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Glad you are enjoying yours, Simao. Harbeth has a large and loyal following so that's quite a testimonial. |
