| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism My main problem is: How do I double-blind these against the stock spikes?!?! | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? The heaviest speakers I owned were 60 lbs each. It’s the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Concerto floorstanders. During that time, I was a young fella and could carry the speaker with ease. Nowadays, I usually consider speakers which I am able to carry al... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers Harbeth 30.2 XD with 2 REL T/9x Running 1 sub in a stereo set up is pointless. A lot of people advocate a minimum of 2 subs but some rooms (including mine) can’t accommodate more than 1 either due to the size or arrangement. Nevertheless... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers I have an old Richard Lord REL , Stentor III, 55kg horn loaded , beautiful cabinet. it’s-6db at 13hz. just a 10inch long throw driver. wish I had room for 2 but in my 14ft by 22ft by 10ft room it does a fantastic job A lot of people advocate... | |
| Luxman L505uXii or Hegel H390 Sound quality is important. However, if certain criteria are not met, there won’t be an intention of a listen or purchase from me. The Hegel amps look fine. They are used by many and have been endorsed by the Harbeth designer Alan Shaw for Harbet... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Thanks for all thoughts. All good points. Similarly, apart from sound quality the design comes first for me. I’m bringing up specifications to suggest that subs from different manufacturers may sound closer to each other, that’s all. Purchase no... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I don’t have much experience with subwoofers so my contribution may be worthless. Easy or hard? I suppose the question is closely correlated to expectations? To me, proper integration means the sub blends rather seamlessly with the main speakers a... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers By the way, the MSRP of my speakers inclusive of matching stands is $9,700. The future sub will cost $2,749 each. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers Thanks for the thoughts James. Yes, you are correct that the real question I intended to ask was how much do we need to spend on a good sub, or couple of subs. The price ratio of the sub to speaker is another way of asking the question. I realized... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism After spending $1000 on Gaia 1’s, I’m not going to take them apart! Same here on my Gaia 2. From the diagram provided by Isoacoustics, it appears that bolts are used inside the Gaias instead of springs. I’m not sure about the other parts tha... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism It would be good if someone opens up the Gaias or Oreas and take few photos of the insides. | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism It’s all right here: elastomer, arranged to do what it does. There’s a sketch of the insides but no description of the stuff. I would be equally interested to know about the featured parts inside the Gaia and Orea. Are both the sam... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Even the new (and limited edition) L-595 didn´t match the R11 as great as the L590AXII. Its a excellent amp (class A too, a little bit more smooth in the highs maybe, but in the lower parts I did like more the L-590AXII). It appears that you... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 I would like to squeak better bass performance from the KEFs and a warmer or lusher mid might be good with the otherwise very neutral MyTek. I don’t know about the Gryphon Diablo 120 but have the Luxman L-590AXII. Just like Fatdaddy2, the Lu... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) If going with REL, these are the recommendations for Wilson Sabrina on their Web page calculator. Small room : S/510 Medium room : S/812 |
