| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @jayctoy. So far most comments have been that it is hard to do a piano. In my mind this is a good test for an "affordable" loudspeaker for anyone considering a new speaker. The DI and DI Monitor are getting great write ups for their overall reali... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Do the impact monitors go low enough without a sub to capture the piano size and scale? How are they for tonality and clarity? | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Good suggestions so far... appreciated... any thoughts on revel or ohm walshes? | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano The thing is that when you pick a loudspeaker it's probably because it transports you to the concert... or because it plays loud cleanly... or because it throws a gigantic image...and more. Since the piano is hard to do, especially at $4k or less... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I think we may all agree that there is no perfect speaker for reproducing the piano but what comes closest? What about Zu, or tekton brilliance or double impact, or Martin Logan, or dynaudio or legacy or golden ear or any of the dozens I've miss... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @bdp24 I would also say that I haven't heard cone speakers that were quite as convincing throughout the midrange although recently I heard the KEF R500s driven by the Parasound integrated and they were pretty darn good. Given that you own planar... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @bdp24 Three comments about the LFT-8b1. From you comments, it seems that they have similar placement restrictions to other "panel" speakers in that they sound best 5' out from the wall which is a problem for a lot of people2. Eminent Technolog... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @sbayne - thanks for the comments, I hear you saying that they are capable of throwing a large, 3d image with good placement of instruments and voices within....another question I'd like to ask is how they render the piano. My experience has been... | |
| Speaker Placement Priority - wall clearance or perfect equilateral I think that the equilateral triangle "rule" is a guideline...a starting point and that its "ok" to be further back at 138" depending on what you are ultimately trying to achieve. As you know, moving the right speaker to the left, even a couple i... | |
| My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live... I stopped to visit Clayton's production facility in September which is in an industrial park about 10 minutes from the Salt Lake airport (4220 W 2100 S Unit L). At this location, they have an inventory of transducers, frames, crossovers, etc. and... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I'd like to ask those of you that have the Impact Monitors and have commented on the holographic soundstage....are you saying that it has great front to back depth....or that it extends far beyond the speaker placement width....or both meaning tha... | |
| About to purchase the Kef LS50W speaker want opinions about set up.... I would just make sure you purchase them from a place that allows for easy returns. While the LS50s do a great job tonally, they are somewhat sensitive to placement (to get the best sound) and without the right placement, you are more likely to e... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @audioarchon Granted they are "fresh out of the box" but based on what you hear initially, how would you describe/compare the DI-SE mid and top end to planars and electrostats...relative to clarity, liquidity, size, and sounds like live music?? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne - thanks for the heads up. I'm hoping that anyone on the forum who has owned or seriously compared maggie 1.7i s to the DI Monitor, Brilliance or electron can chime in as to clarity and tone....Overall, it would be easier to just talk to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I currently own the Lores (which have been great) so I'd like to ask two questions to those of you that might own the DI Monitors, the Electrons or the ENZO 2.7s (the DIs are just too big for me). First, the Lores throw a massively wide soundstag... |
