| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @grannyring It definitely seems that the DIs are well thought of. I'm guessing that there are many people not too excited about 106 pounds each...so it would be interesting to hear how the Brilliance and Electrons stack up to the DI Monitors (s... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @Wart Thanks for the suggestion and I agree that most of the time the piano is mic'd in a way that both the sound and location aren't realistic@jayctoy...you make a good point...not very many people listen to 90% piano....so I'd probably add acou... | |
| The latest and greatest I think you have two things going on with the LS50 that are causing them to come up for sale in greater numbers. First, the LS50W appears to be an improved model...which in many people's minds devalues the original LS50. Second, the LS50 purchas... | |
| 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... |
