| vintage versus modern speakers I've heard of some apples to oranges comparison before, but that takes the cake, | |
| Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2? I just posted this in the audiokarma forum, hope it's okay to post it here too.I just got through a listening session on the Sierra 2 vs my old Paradigm Monitor 7 v3(towers with 2 drivers and a metal tweeter) connected to my Denon AVR 4520 using a... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers The $20,000 number might have come from me as I don't see it in the OP posts at all. As for foam surrounds, Paradigm still used them in their Performance line well into the 90's. I'm not sure when Boston Acoustics moved away from them, but their w... | |
| Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow Well why don't you start another thread on headphones then? This is a thread on cable suggestions.On the Morrow vs Audioquest, keep in mind that Morrow has a list of Morrow cables that they've taken in a trade up program. Used, but cheaper. Audioq... | |
| Speaker recommendation Jlr261;I agree with those saying that with your existing amp you would be better off with more efficient speakers, and that it's going to be very difficult to get good sound and volume in a space that large. However, it is certainly possible to ma... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Not sure why it matters to you, but by the end of the 80's I remember seeing some at over $50,000. Grabbing 20 year old speakers from the 90's might be fine for a while, but will they soon develop foam rot? When will the caps in the crossover star... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers I know. Myself I prefer the lovely Chevy Vega over these silly modern technology autos. I've tried simply HUNDREDS of cars, and absolutely nothing can compare with my amazingly sounding Vega. It's got the bucket seats, and AM radio and white wall ... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers So let's see. New cars are better than the 30 yr old technology auto. Computers are much better, televisions, washing machines, power tools, battery technology, tennis rackets, jets, and on and on the list goes.But speakers, they haven't bested th... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Bomb, at the end of the day, your following comment says all one needs to know about your bias.I've owned a few modern day speakers & if I find one today that sounds like real music, I wouldn't hesitate to buy itÂ…. | |
| vintage versus modern speakers I'll guess we'll have to disagree then. The modern woofer/driver has long throw movement that wasn't possible in the 70's. Expensive designs have become cheap to manufacture, and improvements have trickled down to budget lines. The cone materials ... | |
| Starting a thread and then disappearing It has nothing to do with kudos, and "re-posting" is when someone double posts the same post. To continue a conversation is something different. Obviously etiquette is lost on you. Often a question has many facets that need to be dealt with before... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Wow, that was quite a post! I did a comparison of my own with a higher end Denon avr(3801) in 2 channel mode. I compared some 80's -90's speakers from Paradigm, polk audio, Mission, Boston Acoustics and Mirage. These were all just popular speakers... | |
| Starting a thread and then disappearing b_limo, yeah, a lot of newbies and others just want reinforcement. Another type of poster also bugs me, the type that pushes a certain brand all the time and it makes one suspect they are a dealer or at least someone selling it. Some identify them... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers On the question of best speakers for $1500, unfortunately that is not a lot to get into really good towers, and American made doesn't make it any easier. With a big amp like the SAE, if the OP could stretch his budget to $2000, Ascend Acoustics is... | |
| Power Amp for Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 I originally went with bare copper at the binding posts. Since I've been swapping speakers in and out lately, I employed some banana plugs, but for the budget minded, bare copper would be the way to go, at least to start. |
