| Bryston Loudspeakers? I own a Bryston pre and am certainly rooting for them here, and I bet the speakers sound pretty darn good too. And I understand working with Axiom to get access to their drivers, but why oh why did they have to make the Model T look so much like t... | |
| Bryston Loudspeakers? There's a reason there are so few manufacturers that can successfully build and sell both electronics and speakers. A mid to high end company like Bryston working with a lower end speaker company to enter the speaker market seems like an odd strat... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Understood your friend knows his stuff, but the question that seems to not have been answered is if he's actually heard a WT turntable. Has he? | |
| Magnepan MMG or something else You need to identify what aspects are contributing to your lack of involvement, otherwise this is just a crapshoot. Is it timing? Is it a lack of tonal richness or image density? Or a lack of dynamics? Involvement may be subjective but that doesn'... | |
| Sound dampening Bass frequencies will not be damped or absorbed by curtains if that's what you're looking for. And they won't do much to keep the sound from leaking to the rest of your house either if that's a concern (you don't specify if you're looking for soun... | |
| Need Advice for LCRs - Budget $500-$1000 The center speaker, as usual, will likely be the most important of the three so I'd try to get the best one possible. For $375 I think the Paradigm Monitor 7 Center 1 could be a very good choice, and you can pair it with the Mini Monitors and stil... | |
| Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio Tough call. I'd go with the Perspectives just because I really like the other JA speakers I've heard, but then again Magico just released the S1 in that price range that I would also want to hear as well. Best of luck and let us know how it turns ... | |
| How is/was your Satori speaker cable? I've had Satori shotgun biwires in my system for about ten years and remain very happy. I've had several others in but the natural and organic sounding Satoris have stood the test of time. I think Foster may be right that they may not be the quick... | |
| DSpeaker Anti Mode Dual Core 2.0 Room Correction Seems like it won't do stereo subs in its current form, at least not without adding another one. Just FYI for those who might care. | |
| Good Processor If stereo is very important, going with an AVP can be very limiting in terms of viable options as you well know. And it may also be more expensive relative to using a quality stereo pre for the front L/R speakers and a decent AVP for surround proc... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Good to hear you've noticed some improvements in trying different speaker positions and subwoofer settings. Sounds like you've also started to identify the difference between more bass and better bass in the process. If possible, try pulling the f... | |
| Joseph Audio RM22XL The more I think about it, if I were you I'd get the 22s and at some point audition a good sub (or two) just to see how much it adds. (Fwiw I've been looking at something like the SVS SB12-NSD with the pulsars). You could end up with the best of b... | |
| Joseph Audio RM22XL I wouldn't say a sub is necessary and could be perfectly happy listening to them alone, but sounded from your original post you might be looking for something more in the bass range so hence the recommendation for the 25s. I heard the 22s in a fai... | |
| Brand Longevity If you're that worried about it buy a Bryston with their 20-year warranty and be done with it. Personally I think you're worrying unnecessarily and that you're deluding yourself in this hobby if you think you're buying your "last" anything. But I ... | |
| Joseph Audio RM22XL Great speakers. They image like crazy and completely disappear as a sound source as do all JA speakers. I heard the original versions and almost bought them. Ultimately went with something else because they had a bit more heft in lower mids and ba... |
