| Surround Processor/Receiver for HT addition to 2 ch system So you now have to combine your sound systems and buy a new AVR because you invited your girlfriend to move in, but not finding the HT bypass is what makes you feel like a moron? Dude. | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks Been following this thread in sympathy both as an audiophile and as a fellow drummer. I know exactly what you're talking about when it comes to reproducing cymbals, and I feel your pain. Given the relatively extreme nature of the issue and the eq... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Make sure the guy with the sub has a good return policy. Heh heh. I'm no sub expert, but REL seems to favor speaker level output to their subs if you can do it. I read a review of your sub where the reviewer preferred it that way for music dutie... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Subs help out with much more than low bass and could very well help do exactly what you're looking for along with possibly improving upper frequencies and overall soundstaging and imaging. You don't need (or even want) a sub out -- that's more of... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Your situation would seem to be crying out for a sub or two. | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them "When you have exactly the same material for the tweeter and midrange the speaker sounds 100% coherent, there is no issue in getting the drivers to blend."I’m not a speaker designer nor an engineer by any stretch, but there’d seem to still be seve... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 Don't know if you can really go wrong with the EAs, but there are so many options out there at these price points. The thing that really puzzles me most is why you feel the need for bass/treble controls, which will greatly limit your options. My... | |
| Listen...chair My friends already think this high-end audio stuff is nuts. Can't wait to tell them there was a serious discussion about which chairs sound best. | |
| In wall vs regular speakers? A buddy of mine had tower fronts and in-ceiling surrounds, and I thought it worked surprisingly well. The rear speakers being behind the listening positions produced a nice, diffuse surround sound that created a very seamless and immersive experi... | |
| 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. ... |
