| Upgrade on Bel Canto CD-1 If it's just the upper mids that are bothersome and you're otherwise happy with what you're hearing, another way to go that may work and potentially be much cheaper would be to try some other cables and interconnects. Nordost are great to be sure,... | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers Yeah, this is starting to look like a fly by. | |
| midground btwn Dynaudio X38 and Vandersteen Treo Well, strictly speaking none of these speakers are full range and most only go down to the low or mid 30s. That said, given your impressions I think a pair of Joseph Audio RM25XLs might be in that sweet spot you're looking for. Nicely detailed but... | |
| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. Congrats. Nice choice. Keep us posted after they're broken in. | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you and what amp are you using? | |
| Recommendation on speakers with bass adjustibility In addition to the PARC that operates in the analog domain there are products from DSpeaker and DEQX that operate in the digital domain and get very good reviews so may be worth looking into as well. Just FYI. | |
| Magico S1 vs YG Carmels Haven't heard the Magicos but had the chance to hear the Carmels and the Joseph Audio Perspectives playing St. James Infirmary back to back in different rooms a few feet from each other at a show. Granted lots of variables there, but suffice it to... | |
| Recommendation on speakers with bass adjustibility Agree with Brf that you're greatly limiting your choices by including only those speakers with bass controls and that employing some form of room and speaker correction would allow you to look at all speakers. Great brands like Magico, Rockport, Y... | |
| YG Carmels vs Rockport Atrias I also think you may risk overwhelming your room with these speakers. If you go this route you should consider budgeting for substantial room treatments and perhaps even going so far as reconstructing the walls with resilient channels, etc. That s... | |
| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. Given what you're looking for I'd reiterate my recommendation of the Minuets and add Joseph Audio RM7 and Ref 3A de Capos if you can find them used in your price range. I know your tube amp is relatively powerful, but I'd still be leery of speaker... | |
| Speaker cable manufacturers I think a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris might deliver just what you're looking for. Nicely detailed with plenty of air but not hard or etched sounding, plenty of tonal weight and density without sounding too thick or overdone, and a deep holog... | |
| Getting great stereo sound from multi channel sys. Agree with others on option 1. Personally I'd get a good stereo pre and amp and a decent AVR (I've read budget Yamahas do relatively well for audio) to handle processing and powering center/surrounds so you can put the most money where it matters ... | |
| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? Tough to make a good recommendation without that info, but the Silverline Minuets are good all around speaker. Best of luck. | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation Used Joseph Audio Pulsars might be a good choice as they're pretty tube friendly and image very well, which I'm sure is a strength in your Thiels. My only concern is they could overwhelm a small room depending on how small. Best of luck. | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations I think you're making a mistake getting another amp if you're also looking at getting new speakers sometime soon. I'd figure out the speakers first and then figure out which class A amp you want to play with. It may turn out that 30 class A Watts ... |
