| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf I just did what you are about to do.... No need to spend more...here is my suggestion: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_700SP8BK/MoFi-Electronics-SourcePoint-8-Speakers-Satin-Black-Ash.html Lots of good reviews and comments...and for those who car... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... My guess is that less than 1% of people care about the quality of the sound of music. It’s not that they don’t care about music…it’s just that music is mostly for background while they are doing something else. I’ve introduced many people to g... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? I find that the 0.25 ohm resistor has zero impact on detail, sounstage, imaging… from what I’ve read just a very, very gradual roll off from about 800hz up which in my case tames the slight brightness/sibilance in a way I can both live with and af... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? The supplied 1&2 ohm resistors kill the top end. That is why the Audio Connexion option for lower value resistors is very low cost… under $75 and likely to make a noticeable improvement. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? Let me just say that I went through multiple amps and two preamps… and each shaped the sound in their own way… but it was the 0.25 ohm resistors that really dialed things in…. my room is large and somewhat live. https://www.audiogon.com/system... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? I went to the Parts Connexion and found the same ceramic resistors that Magnepan provides and bought matched pairs 0.1 ohms, 0.2, 0.3 and so on up to 0.8… they are very inexpensive and then find which value gets you the sound you want. | |
| Belles 22a Preamplifier @tunehead I sold the 22a last year after owning it for five years....why...two reasons, I needed an XLR output which it didn't have....and it had slightly too much gain. From a musicality standpoint, it was an excellent preamp and because it us... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update To be honest, I really don't want to name the brand because they have a strong following and lots of people that love their speakers...and just because they weren't my cup of tea...so what....they don't deserve me saying anything negative. @livin... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @tksteingraber absolutely...and the very wide dispersion speakers are the only speakers that have resulted in this "phenomenon". Currently I have the LRS+ paired with a 15" sealed sub. Great combination but as you know, the listening position ... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update I have a question about the Ohm sound as relates to the wide dispersion. A year ago, I purchased a pair of almost 180 wide dispersion bookshelf speakers made by a well respected small manufacturer. For about half of the music I listen to they we... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? There is no question that if you have the ability to try multiple pairs of speakers in your room, switching back and forth that you will hear differences in soundstage width, height, depth and envelopment. And then the trick is, once you've settl... | |
| my own experience with Tekton Design @Carlsbad2 You have to keep this friend...anyone who would bring their 135lbs speakers to my house to audition would merit a bump up in friendship status...🤣 | |
| Outlet Question And then there us always the issue of what happens to your insurance coverage in the event of a fire that starts with a “non approved” outlet? | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update The attenuation switch seems like it would be a good selling point for ohm and should be described on their website and included in their manuals. | |
| Buying Used Speakers Just as an example… if you were looking at speakers on USAM from a seller who has numerous positive ratings and has sold speakers… you can be pretty confident you are dealing with a seller who will do everything possible to give a fair rating and ... |
