| Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful? In addition to Yakbob's recommendations I'd add Sjofn The Clue. I think they offer a free in-home trial. BTW, don't pay any at attention to the Stereophile review of them. It was completely botched and they should be ashamed of themselves. Eve... | |
| Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful? I had a similar situation and found there's really no substitute for breathing room for speakers unless they're built to work that way, especially if you're concerned with soundstageing and imaging. So here's what I did -- when I wanted to listen... | |
| Jumpers Well, here's yet another take. I've been using AZ Satori shotgun biwire cables (spades) forever and slightly prefer them to a single run with my speakers. Then Chris Sommovigo (then from Stereovox) recommended in addition to the shotgun cables I... | |
| Speaker Placement Agree that there's no substitute for playing with placement, but the good news is that, unlike most things in this world, it's free. I'm very into the 3D holographic imaging thing, and my room is similar to yours except 3' more narrow. In case i... | |
| Speakers For Balanced Audio Technology Amplifiers While I'm not a huge Wilson Audio fan, one of the better sounds I've heard at a show was a pair of Watt Puppys (either 7s or 8s, can't remember) powered by BAT gear. Very dynamic with great imaging and tone. There's a pair of Sophias and some ol... | |
| looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. Good sounding and musical could mean many different things to many different people. More specifics would be helpful in making better recommendations for you. That said, Silverline Minuets are widely well regarded and in your price range, and they... | |
| Next step up speakers in totem acoustic line from the totem forest? I also like the Forests but haven't heard their newer models. Might be a good opportunity to give a listen to some Reference 3A speakers of you haven't already. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker recommendations What do you mean by not enough and appropriate? What are you looking to improve upon and what sound reproduction characteristics are most important to you? Tough to make good recommendations without some more info. | |
| Request your two cents - BW804, Theil 2.x, or ... Your tube amp puts out 50W. To get good, deep bass you're going to need fairly efficient speakers, and both B&W and Thiel require some power and are not generally considered to be tube-friendly designs. Companies like Reference 3A, Silverlin... | |
| What are the best on-wall speakers I heard the Joseph Audio on walls and they sounded fantastic. | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Sell the car. Uber baby. | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Fellow drummer here. I know exactly what you’re talking about with regard to impact and weight. IME cone drivers are better able to convey the density, thrust, etc. that I feel when sitting behind a kit. Stats and ribbons sound great, but to my ea... | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) GoldenEar Triton Three or Silverline Prelude Plus are in your price range new and may be worth considering. | |
| Integrated recommendation help What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? What are you currently using or what other integrateds have you heard? | |
| Upgrade path It seems like you're overall happy with the sound you're getting but just looking to augment the bottom end a bit. That seems to be common with your speakers and what the SC4a may have addressed. I doubt spending $4k on speakers, amp, or pre is ... |
