| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Sadly, I cannot remember the specifics names of the shows/commericals I've seen hi-fi in, but I've seen it every now and then.On some semi-popular 80's movie... the main character runs Krell KSA gear and a TT.. I couldn't make out the speakers as ... | |
| Small bookshelfs that reach 42 hz Dynaudio Focus 110 or 140ACI Sapphire XL ( can actually hit the 30's)Totem Acoustic RainmakerAll sport great tone, are listenable over an extended period of time, and sport excellent bass response that is both quick and tuneful. | |
| $1500 bookshelf speakers with laid-back highs? Add in a third vote for the ACI Sapphire XL's. They recently got another thumbs up over at affordable audio. Award winning fo' sho'. | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart I cannot speak for the 220. A friend of mine swears the thing is world class. I once owned the 110 monitor and I can attest to what a marvelous speaker it is. I am tempted to say that when it comes to the total package, I haven't come across anyth... | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers Go with what you loved - the POLK SRT system... you can, very occasionally, find them used on ebay or audiogon. | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Walkman,Your question is valid. The best way I can explain it is to break this down into specific price points. Lets say you really enjoy the Hawk's and decide to bring a pair home. Now, you may need some decent electronics that form good synergy ... | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Grakesh,The Hawk is a tiny speaker. Some may even call it cute. Despite its small size and being a very simple two-way design, this speaker really does require a very large room to strut its stuff. This is not to say you cannot get away with using... | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Baroque,It looks like you have found your speakers. Cool. The Model One should be perfectly at home in your room provided you give it solid juice. Side comments; The Forest, Mani-2, Model 1, all have their major strengths and weaknesses. What I lo... | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk The Model 1 is a great solution from its form and function standpoint. Its extremely compact, dynamic, sports great range and power handling. The Model 1 is typically at home in smaller to medium sized rooms. This speaker is picky. Thankfully it... | |
| Dynaudio Focus? Erik,Thank you for the comments. I may even agree with you in regards to the uncertainty of finish when opening up a brand new box.I am currently breaking them in on some grunt electronics while I wait for everything else to arrive. This may disap... | |
| Dynaudio Focus? A pair of 110's arrived to my home this afternoon. I am in the process of breaking them in so it may be awhile until I can give worthwhile subjective thoughts and opinions.I will say this; I love the Rosewood finish. Most of the pictures online gi... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Robm231,I hope you accept my apologies as my original response came across too strong and I simply did not take any time to give thorough thought before posting.Having owned the VR-2 and the VR-1, I have much respect for what Von Schweikert has do... | |
| Polk Audio LSi 15 - are these the REAL DEAL ??? There are a few factors that come into play here.First of all, Polk Audio is a fantastic company that unfortunately carries virtually no respect in the hi-fi world. Lush listed just one of many reasons why that is so. I have asked numerous dealers... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Walkman,The Hawks are world class speakers that when treated right, can do things most speakers on this planet only wish they could do. With that being said, the Hawks are not the most versitile speakers on the planet and are very picky with room ... | |
| Polk Audio LSi 15 - are these the REAL DEAL ??? Say the words "Polk" amidst a hifi crowd and prepare to be given a duncecap or in some extreme cases - whippings.Ok, so maybe it is not that dramatic, duncecap’s are only given half of the time. Bottom of the line is that the LSi series was and st... |
