| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? So what type of music do you like? This may help us with recommendations. I can tell you that the JBL Studio 570/580/590 are much better than entry level Revel in sound quality just not in looks and finish. I have owned the Focal 726 also and t... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? La10slgr, i was referring to KEF R700. | |
| E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS Schubert, I guess the only difference is there are still plenty of decent folks on Audiogon. People on Ebay buy electronics, rob the parts they need and then initiate a return. Sometimes, they break it on purpose to return the item. That is wha... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? You don't have to have 8"+ drivers with that room volume to get deep bass. You can get smaller speakers with 6.5" drivers and get proper bass. My room is 13' x 18' with a vaulted ceiling. My speakers use dual 6.5" drivers and I have no need for ... | |
| E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS I stopped selling on Ebay because the rules are so skewed towards buyers. It plays nicely and looks good. That is all you should expect with a vintage piece on Ebay unless the seller mentioned it was refurbished or serviced. It is your responsibil... | |
| Vandersteen help needed I would start by moving the speakers closer together, about 6'-7' between them. I have always preferred my speakers placed 3' from the side walls. If you tried that already, what did that do to the sound? | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? @ la10slgr, pm me if you want to know about my good friend's experience with this company. I don't want to start a war with the fanboys out here. | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Well, I have to correct "The Audio Doctor" because I am an engineer and it pains me to read some of the stuff on audio forums. First of all, it should not be about different philosophies, it should be about scientific fact. Saying that something... | |
| Disappointment with Pro-Ject... You cannot send it in for warranty repair? I know they have had defective motors and/or motor mount issues. Have you tried to play around with the mounts? | |
| DG Japanese pressings Well, I cannot find a release date in English anywhere. The series is the one commemorating him - "Karl Bohm Ausgabe". This edition has "2000" under the DG logo.Google is not turning up anything about this edition. I am sure it is remastered bec... | |
| Tube Preamp W/Phono Stage Suggestions... Elrod, consider Mapletree Audio. Really good sounding preamps at down to earth prices. | |
| Best floorstander at $2k or less? KEF R series. I am very happy with the R700, you should be able them used in your price range. | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) IMO, upgrade the speakers first. Instead of the LS50, consider the KEF R300 or R500. The R series is really impressive and a huge step up from budget stuff like Elac. | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? I am quite sure when you try it both ways you will find very little difference if any. Please report back on the results. | |
