| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please There's another dealer here in Austin who handles British speakers from Kudos, Devore and AVI. Anybody have any experience with or knowledge of those? Thanks! | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,I mentioned to the dealer (very nice guy, by the way) that I was hearing all this depth and imaging between but not beyond the speakers. We tried moving them closer together, toeing them in a tiny bit, and moving the listening position back... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, I got to listen to Totems and Ushers today!I heard both the Totem Dreamcatcher and Rainmaker, both at Austin Home Theater.The Dreamcatcher, which is the smaller one, (tiny would be a better word) sounded wonderful. The sound is completely "o... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Addendum about the Triangles: I'd emailed Upscale Audio about the Triangle Heliade, which they currently have on sale. Here's what he said:"I don't know of any magazine reviews of the Heliades, sorry. The Heliade isgoing to be very different compa... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Yes, the Dynaudio's were at Audio Systems. It seems that they no longer carry Triangle, though. I didn't see any in the shop, and it's no longer listed on their web site as a product they carry. I was wondering if the Dynaudio's, at 4 ohms, would ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Hi, Ed, LOL! Well, I'll have to give your pronunciation tips a try, although I doubt that it will gain me much "cred" here in Texas... :-) I have found local dealers for Usher (got an appointment there tomorrow evening) and Totem. Don't know of an... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Thank you all for your enormous help. You've pointed me toward choices that wouldn't have known existed! I found dealers for Triangle, Rega, Usher and Totem all in my area. I'll have some auditioning fun and report back! :-) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I see a lot of enthusiasm for the Triangles and Totems. I'm not sure if anybody retails the Triangles here in Austin, TX. How do you find out? The Triangle website is pretty useless in that regard. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Turns out there's a local dealer here who carries Totem. I'll have to get over there and listen. :-) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Hi, Rar1,Tell me more about the Rega R1 or R3. I went to hear the R1 at a local dealer. I liked the way they sounded, but (and I know this is silly) that paper cone midrange driver looked like something out of a 1960's transistor radio. Is the qua... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Wow, thanks for the response. Yes, there will be some room dampening.... curtains and a carpet, at least. And yes, you nailed something important, this can't be a speaker that demands being placed 3 feet from the back wall... I don't have that kin... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Okay:Room dimensions, approximately: 8 ft. ceiling, 15 feet wide, 13 feet deep. Speakers would be by the long wall. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Buscis2:That's a good question about the room dimensions. I'll take the measurements and post back. Right now it's a pretty hard room: windows on three of four walls, and hardwood floors. However it'll become a bit softer soon. There will be a "da... | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? Again, thanks to all of your for your help with this decision. The Sapphire shipped off today... thank goodness the UPS Store had a dolly... I nearly got a hernia getting it into the store! ;-)Now that that part's done, I'm wondering what y'all wo... | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? Thanks very much to all of you for your wonderful help! I spoke with Donna today and got an RMA number. I"ll be shipping the Sapphire off to them tomorrow. Their lead time on evaluations is running 4-5 weeks at this point. Then they'll call me and... |
