| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. We have them, and they're quite incredible. If you are in the Chicagoland area, you can of course visit -- but anywhere else, I believe they are just shipping pairs out as we speak. I don't want to wax poetic about them and sound like a brand s... | |
| Fyne Audio F502 or Sonus Faber Sonetto V If your dealer has a pair of the Opticon 8 mk2 you should test those out at home, and also the Sonetto V. The Sonetto may have more "detail" but it's really just peaky and fatiguing top end (Olympica Nova line doesn't have this problem). The Opt... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? At one point before the Model 5 released, the designer and the KLH rep (at the time) brought them to our store. Assuming the production models are the same (they look identical), they were excellent speakers. Not a fan of the look personally, b... | |
| Floor standing speaker suggestions for McIntosh MXA70 (MHA150) You seem to love the Dali -- why not step up to the Opticon 6 mk2? Probably our best selling speaker in the whole store and dollar for dollar our absolute favorite. If you have a Dali dealer near you, give them a listen. :) | |
| Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub? Having the t7/x in front of a Kanta no1 on (hopefully) Kanta stands would be zero issue at all. :) | |
| Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub? Kanta no1 with a REL T/x series or two would be incredible if set up right. Highly recommend the REL over the KC62 unless space is an extreme concern. We have set up a few of these exact systems and they sound incredible. | |
| Focal Diablo EVO vs Prior Gen(s) @mtbiker29 Yes indeed. Although in my original reply, I did mention Sopra 2, when I meant Sopra 1. The Sopra 1 definitely has more bass than the Diablos, but the Diablos do 90% of things better within their range. If comparing Diablo to Sopra ... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! We have had very good luck putting Stirling GR's on butcher blocks. Worth a try! They're really finicky speakers to get right, but once you do (and add some good subs), they can be really sublime. | |
| Persona 3f question On the bottom of the front face plate, there is a lip that you have to pull forward. Be careful, as the tweeter connection will need to be removed before you can take the face plate completely off. Just be gentile. It takes some muscle and care... | |
| Focal Diablo EVO vs Prior Gen(s) They are exactly the same aside from cosmetics. That's why they're specifically called "Colour Evo." They do not sound "way better." In almost all aspects, we find them to be an improvement over the Sopra 2, but definitely less bass. We woul... |
