| subwoofer suggestions Please let us know what you think once you've gottem hooked up n burned/dialed in. Congrats. | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I also like the SVS SB2000 sub recommendation, although I'd definitely go for two subs since this is a music-based system and bass will be more evenly distributed throughout your room. SVS runs a deal on dual subs, and you can get two SB2000s for ... | |
| Amp suggestions Agree with Bob -- how do you know your sub is really "dialed in?" What method did you use? Does the problem occur with the sub off as well? Perhaps some more advanced room correction will solve the problem and you're done -- not sure what the P7 c... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness I guess any type of tweeter can sound like crap if it employs crap materials, is not designed well, or if the crossover isn't implemented properly. That said, you sound like a great candidate for a ribbon tweeter. I heard a pair of Selah speakers ... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? I think you've hit on something that keeps me from buying Maggies as well. While I appreciated all the things the speakers were doing right (I heard 3.6s by the way), the thing that was notably missing for me was something I'd call, for lack of a ... | |
| Amp suggestions Man, you've got lots of great options at that price level. Here are some other good ones that are for sale here now and are in or below your price range:Plinius SA103Hegel H20Gamut D200iMcCormack DNA500Of course there's also the Parasound JC2 if y... | |
| MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME "But if you've read my post carefully, I stated that this speaker is doing 90% (IMHO) Ideal to me."That was precisely my point. We know why the Merlins are ideal to you from your review, but it didn't provide the rest of us with anything useful to... | |
| MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME There is really only one truth at play here -- all speakers (and systems/rooms) are colored to some degree. Congrats that you found a pair of speakers that are colored to your liking, but just because you love them doesn't make them the most uncol... | |
| Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music? There are a pair of ATC 20-20a for sale here for $3k, but they are active so the amps are built into the speakers. Might be worth a look if rock and live-like dynamics are important to you. | |
| What is the best DAC under $3000 Ditto Savjam. Had the DAC 3.0VB in my system for a while and it was sublime. Read the reviews of the DAC 3.5VB if you want more info. Best of luck. | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again Hey Skip, would be most helpful to know what cables you have now and what you'd like to improve and/or what aspects of sound are most important to you. | |
| Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music? Ooh, I'm so thinking some ATC monitors. You don't mention a budget but maybe some Exposure amps? I'd be looking hard at ATC regardless and figure out the amplification later. They'll rock your world. | |
| Good value for money speaker cables around $200 I also have AZ Satori shotgun biwires in my system and they haven't left after 12 years and several competitors. If Goose thinks they're comparable I would take that as high praise indeed for the Clear Days at this price level. The Satoris are obv... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K I think you should finalize your speaker choice first, otherwise you're just spinning your wheels here. I know Joseph Audio has used the Hegel H300 with the Pulsars at shows once or twice. I didn't get to hear that pairing, but I bet it sounded pr... | |
| subwoofer suggestions Agree with SVS, but especially since music is also important I'd go for dual subs (although should help with HT too). You can get a pair of SB12-NSDs for $1199 with free shipping. These are sealed, go down to 23Hz (-3db), and aren't too big. Given... |
