| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... Get a great listening chair! | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college KISS - keep it simple and inexpensive. My daughter is running KEF LS50s off a BlueSound PowerNode and is very happy with the setup. I would keep the investment as low as possible, unfortunately theft is always a concern. Keep the system as mini... | |
| BW 801 D4 or BW 802 D4 + 2 subs That's a really large space that you need to fill and pressurize. Couple of thoughts beyond the good thoughts from @erik_squires and @tomcarr 1-Going with the Main + Sub combo will give you options to move the subs around the room and tune the ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer @fastfreight I made the comment up the thread that the REL HT series does not have the high level inputs. One has to go up the line to the REL T series to have that input option. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Enjoy your Revels. Changing speakers is like changing wives, always costs you 50%. | |
| BW 801 D4 or BW 802 D4 + 2 subs Can you tell us about your listening room...size, furniture, acoustic treatments, type of floor? | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer WOW.....congratulations! High end B&W + high end REL should = magic. Please check back in after it's run in and let us know about your experience. Enjoy the music & cheers! | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? OP, good on you for sharing a pic of your setup. Having said that, if your listening position is outside of the two channel speaker pair, the equipment will never offer you it's real capability. Maybe look for a surround solution that will fill ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I do support the REL T/9x given your original posted budget. When you go up the line, subs will generally dig deeper with clarity. Good brands, up the line, will have better constructed drivers, more inert cabinets and more power. You have exce... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer OP already has bass traps....good man! RELs are favored by many for two channel listening. They have a reputation of blending more seamlessly with the mains then other brands. REL subs have a unique input that taps into the speaker output of th... | |
| Nad M33 or something better +1 @jjss49 I was going to suggest checking out the Hegel integrated amps. They have a very high damping factor which matters to some speakers esp. in bass reproduction. Hegel is a relative good bang for the buck. Not sure how many hours you ha... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Wow, great choices! I think I might be able to help here but I have two questions. 1-Which is your front wall (behind the speakers) long or short wall? 2-What type of music will be your primary focus? | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I think many of the responders didn't fully read your query. Your room is small and stuffing in two subs is going to be challenging. I have two SVS SB4000 in my H/T room and they sound great for H/T but it's a much larger room. The SVS subs are... | |
| Bluesound recent update 4.0 tanked sound quality ??? Problem Solved In my two channel room I was running the Node digital out into my Hegel integrated where the Hegel's DAC was doing the conversion. In the Node settings there is an option to turn on "MQA external DAC" While streaming NON MQA Qobu... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? +1 to the OP for the detailed question! I have a good deal of experience with Focal. They can sound quite good, very lively, in a properly treated room. One thing that is too often overlooked is the point of reflection off the ceiling. Untreat... |
