| Speaker Placement and Toe-In I’ve read and use in my system a triangle ratio of tweeter to tweeter =1 and tweeter to ear should be about 1.2. Sounded better than an equilateral triangle. No toe in for me either. Cheers! | |
| Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4 I also thought the B&W sounded great at Axpona but it would be well worth your time to audition the Rockport Avior ii as well. Superb build quality and amazing sound. You will have a new front runner. Good luck! Ron | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music +1 gerrie ! 😂😂 | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev I saw your post about listening to other high end speakers. Did your listen to any Rockport speakers ? I understand they pair extremely well with your Diablo 300. | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev The reason subs next to the speakers may or may not work is the wavelength of say a fifty hertz note is much longer than the higher frequency notes so given the average room size you won’t even hear the note until it has bounced off a wall... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? I graduated high school in 1982. Love 80s music. The energy of the hair bands was amazing. I also enjoy music from the 60s,70s,90s and 2000s. I don’t know how a person could only like one or two genres. Happy listening ! | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @nyev What other speaker brands did you audition before you bought your B&W s? | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? @esarhaddon What places have you visited in Denver ? Soundings Fine Audio and Crescendo both are high end and have very knowledgeable sales people. | |
| Kanta No.1 vs Olympica Nova 1? We have all focal speakers in our home theatre. Kanta 3 mains Kanta center channel and Kanta 1 surrounds. I think you would be very happy with the Kanta 1s. The beryllium tweeter is not too bright with our MC 8207 amp. Definitely give them a liste... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) @mduffy18d Focal makes some wall mount speakers that sounded fantastic at Axpona. Maybe they could work for you. Good luck ! | |
| What Is Most Important? The ROOM and closing your eyes when listening to rid all distractions. | |
| Speaker Comparison @laoman I know this is way past your post but I thought I would chime in. I was deciding between the Wilson DAW and Rockport Avior ii. I heard both at dealers. The Wilson’s sounded a little bright for me so I went with the Avior ii. It took abou... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC @jackhifiguy As you can see everyone is recommending their favorite. I would recommend doing blind testing on some of the models you are interested in and let your ears decide. There is no bias if you don’t know which one you are listening to. G... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Does it work for all the types of music you listen to on one setting or do you have to keep adjusting with different songs? If so isn’t that too much of a hassle ? | |
| Cables recommendation I would recommend a neutral cable that won’t color the sound from your nice speakers. As suggested try a few different brands to find your favorite. I’m using Nordost Heimdall level in my system. Reasonable price and great performance. Good luck! |
