| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? "The good news for me was that the very best sound I heard all day was when I returned home and turned on the stereo that I already own."Salectric,After looking at your system profile, I have no doubt the above is a true statement.Shakey | |
| Jbuenech "Sorry, I overwritted the subject (speakers brand and model) with my username. Hope it is fixed now."No, you did NOT fix it.You probably shouldn't drink and post......Shakey | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? For anyone here who doesn't know, blcube posted years ago in this thread. He was a very happy Caravelle owner and I was always smitten with the sound he got out of his system. It never failed to deliver the goods.Alas, blcube left this mortal coil... | |
| Can we talk? zd542,I almost peed a little laughing so hard.Shakey | |
| Can we talk? I bought a pair of Wilson Audio Sophias having never heard them. I thought they were just ok, nothing like I imagined. They were gone in three weeks.Shakey | |
| Are all craiglist used ads scam? I only deal with craigslist if I am close enough to pick up whatever I am buying.I find there are more scammers who are buyers rather than sellers. I have been trying to sell a pair of aftermarket wheels on CL for the past few months and I have be... | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? I wouldn't do it. You are asking for trouble in that room. They might sound decent, but you would probably only get 50-60% of what they are capable of. I would stick to smaller speakers.Shakey | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 verses Infinity RSIIIB I have another suggestion. For ~500.00 you can pick up a pair of Klipsch Fortes that are the equal or better of the VR2 in stock configuration. Add a crossover upgrade and they are indeed the proverbial giant killers.Shakey | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Two things I would suggest.Spread the speakers a little further apart, you have more real estate there to play with.Consider the purchase of a good tube amp. This alone will give you more body and 3 dimensional sound over the Rotel amp.Shakey | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 verses Infinity RSIIIB I am sure the VR2 is more vivid and resolving than the 2ces. Resolution is not their forte.I had a pair of VR2s about 10 years ago and they were just ok. I would keep looking at other possibilities in your price range.Shakey | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? In January I bought a 2007 BMW 335i. Just a lowly 3 series, but it is an extremely well sorted out car that is a hoot to drive. I have done a few "upgrades" to make it a bit better. I still have my Jeep for bad/winter weather driving.Shakey | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? I had the SP2, SPX, and EPS2. Of the three I would say the SP2 was the sweet spot, I just never really connected with their bigger brothers. I ended up replacing the EPS2 with a pair of Green Mountain Audio Callistos. They actually made the PBN sp... | |
| What amp should be used with merlin vsm's? "bump this up"For God's sake, why........?Shakey | |
| From Klipsch to Zu Omen Def Look at the Klipsch Heritage line. Much better for two channel listening than the Reference speakers.Shakey | |
| Which would you choose? You call those vintage components? Seriously?Shakey |
