| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers B&W is definitely a love it or hate it type of speaker. Their gear is found in many homes of audiophiles, but also in recording studios. Their fit and finish is very, very good and their resale is phenomenal. Their speakers have been used as a... | |
| Revel M20 Woofer No, the crossover was designed for that driver. You can't just drop in one that is "close". | |
| B&W cdm 1nt B&W cdm 1se Whats The Difference Those are both quite old. If recall correctly,, the 1NT uses a nautilus style tweeter while the SE uses more of a standard dome tweeter. I owned the NT, but only heard the SE on a couple of occasions. If memory serves, the NT was the better speake... | |
| DIY high end speakers? Metro, I've been hiding in my woodshop building countless speakers! :) I did some work for a speaker manufacturer for a while that kept me busy. Peter, I didn't realize you did those for PE. They've shared a large number of designs over the years.... | |
| DIY high end speakers? I have heard a number of DIY designs (and built about 15 or some from various speaker designers.) I'm a cabinet builder not a crossover guy, so I've looked for work by people who I consider to be very talented. I have not heard the Linkwtiz kit, a... | |
| Opinions on speakers Clearwave symphonia 72R is another to throw on your list. Being a two and a half way it is fairly sensitive which will work great with a less powerful integrated, and plays well at both high and low volume.Discalimer, I am a dealer. | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? Really? Your recommending the Maxx3 or Alexandria for a 9' wide room that is 16' long? My sense is even the WP7 is too big for that room - I doubt you are getting the best they have to offer with a room like that. | |
| Does Harbeth M30.1 Sound More Open That Its Predec That was about the most useless response I've seen in a long time. | |
| Compare Paradigm speakers to.... Paradigm was where I started my journey. I've gone back to them a few times since and have always been impressed. I can't remember all the models I've owned, but I've had every version of the studio 20 except the v5. Dollar for dollar, they are ve... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? I had a pair a number of years ago. They were mediocre compared to others in their price range. I actually preferred my paradigm studio 20 v3's at the time. | |
| All Audio Refinement ints have channel bleed? I have owned six completes. LOVE them. Wish I could find another. I did not have bled through like you are describing on any of my units. | |
| where is another good place to search for b&w's? Keep an eye out at htguide.com/forumThey have a B&W forum and have a classifieds section | |
| Do speaker makers customize drivers? You'd have a better shot if you told us what speakers you own and the model number of the driver you think it is. Many use off the shelf, some have custom ones made. | |
| Gamut vs Tidal The Tidal's should be more sensitive. Their website doesn't list a value which I think is smart, because they are right - many publish false number. Their accuton drivers are more effecient than the scan speak drivers that Gamut uses. (in general)... | |
| Cabinet Making Crossover Tweakers Wilson used to use scan speak and focal. They are still using focal, but now they are using a modified sb acoustics. At least in the sasha. Audio note builds their own. Joseph audio, snell, sony (ar-1), sonus faber, consensus audio, triad, fritz, ... |
