| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? So, what speakers have you been using? What are you looking to improve upon or what sonic properties of speakers and music reproduction are most important to you (i.e. Micro/macro dynamics, tonality, timing, imaging/soundstaging, etc.)? This inf... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen You should also consider trying Triode Wire Labs power cords. Consistently good reviews and sell direct with generous trial period. | |
| Shopping for new speakers I had the Venere 2.5s in my system on an extended audition , and although they are pretty good speakers I'd much more highly recommend Joseph Audio or ProAc given what you're looking for. Both have outstanding imaging/soundstaging and disappear e... | |
| Shopping for new speakers What speakers are you using now and what would you like to improve upon? What aspects of sound reproduction and speaker characteristics are most important to you other than WAF and being compatible with your current equipment? When you say you w... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Thank you Stewart for clearing this up. After many decades of listening and despite many new entries to the speaker market over that time, ProAc speakers remain among my top 5 in terms of speakers that are nicely detailed yet still sound like mus... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Congrats. Sounds like a big win all around. At some point you may still want to pick up a used pair of AZ Satoris to compare. They're both great but likely different, and it might be very interesting now that you know more what to listen for. ... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! As per your prior post you'll likely be getting new speakers within a year and you'll want to match those with an amp that sounds and works best with them, so my advice is to buy a decent used amp with good resale value now so you can potentially ... | |
| proac d25 vs totem Mani 2 I’d give the Silverline Preludes consideration in your price range new. Not too hard to drive so will give you a wide selection of amps. Imaging and soundstaging are excellent and should work very well with the types of music you listen to. Best o... | |
| Acoustic Zen, Reference 3A and ATC I don't think any of these speakers are particularly colored in the midrange and all are great in their own way. But there will be differences in how they present the mids and the overall sonic picture. If you're into soundstaging and, in partic... | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k Not sure if you have a Joseph Audio dealer near you, but the Pulsars would certainly be worth an audition. Best of luck in your search. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables I'd highly recommend a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris. They are great all around cables, and if they don't work out you can turn around and sell them at little or no loss. I've also found they pair well with B&W speakers. Best of luck. | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? If you can I'd pull the speakers another foot or even another two feet into the room if you haven't already done so and see what happens. It might help and you may find an improvement in imaging and soundstaging although probably at the expense o... | |
| Monitor Audio I am intrigued by the Minuets. Almost double the cost of the Bronzes. My guess is I'll keep them for a while, realize the amp deserves better. Sell at a loss and do it all over again!Not sure why you'd guess that, and I'd strongly disagree that th... | |
| Monitor Audio I'd highly recommend the Silverline Minuets. Heard the original version powered by relatively cheap electronics at a NY audio show and they blew me (and many others) away. Best of luck. | |
| Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system? For a 21yo girl I'd get the Audioengine HD6 and be done with it. Includes built-in class A/B amps, DAC, Bluetooth receiver, analog input/output, and a remote. Finishes are beautiful as opposed to most other competitors in this category, which I'... |
