| New Speaker for Under 5K So sounds like you haven't found the magic bullet with the other brands. As I mentioned in the other post, get thee to Park Ave. Audio and listen to the Joseph Audios dammit. What are you waiting for? They're right in your back yard. Just don't li... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Now that you've upped your budget I think a used pair of Joseph Audio RM7XLs would be very worth consideration given what you're looking for.Also, I don't think tripling the wall thickness will do much for your bass problem although it may help a ... | |
| Best speakers around $700 with not much bass?? Silverline Minuets are also very good in the areas you're looking for. Best of luck, mostly with regard to marriage. | |
| New cart for under 1K Glad to hear you decided to upgrade the speakers. If you can get to Park Ave. Audio in Manhattan you should go hear a pair of Joseph Audio speakers. I think it would be well worth your while. Best of luck. | |
| Wilson Alexia - what's the competition Ricred, out of curiosity what did you prefer about the Sashas over the Aviors? Do you remember what electronics were in front of them? Thanks for thoughts. | |
| Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp There are some Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. IIs available that posess a lot of the characteristics you're looking for. Best of luck. | |
| Wilson Alexia - what's the competition I'm not a huge Wilson fan, but I heard the Alexia at the NYC show a month ago and I was very impressed -- moreso than with any other Wilson demo I've heard. I actually preferred the sound in that room to the MAXX3s, but they were in different room... | |
| ATC active speakers, anyone heard them? It's been a while, but I've heard the 50s at length (although they were passive and driven by Linn amps fyi) and they are very impressive for what they do -- I'd expect the active versions to be even moreso. There's a level of dynamic power, direc... | |
| Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF? Anyone know of any dimmers that are not noisy? I'm guessing no, but would be nice to add the flexibility to my listening room if it exists. Also, if there is such an animal, what types of bulbs lend themselves well to dimming without being noisy/b... | |
| New cart for under 1K "The Focal's are very accurate and tend to be bright in the highs. Brightness is what I am trying to avoid. I've found the highs to be too harsh for my liking, especially with vocals."I see why you're immediately targeting the cartridge given your... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 SE In this situation I'd consider buying one used to minimize the potential pain if you can find one. Best of luck. | |
| Speakers for Bryston pre/power amp From your original post it sounds for all the world that you had a problem with the Synchrony Ones and the M6i and that you're selling both. Then you ask if you should consider the 804Ds after you've apparently already owned 804s with a Creek amp ... | |
| Speakers for Bryston pre/power amp So, you sold a 200wpc integrated and swapped to 135wpc separates to get better power and dynamics? What made you choose the Bryston separates? What speakers did you have in your system before the PSBs? Not sure "easy to drive" speakers are going t... | |
| What do you expect a reviewers system to be We can't really know what a reviewer's system sounds like or what their personal tastes are. Given that, I think one of the most valuable parts of a review is when a piece of equipment under review is compared to something else. People in general ... | |
| SVS Ultra Towers, Triton 2 or Triton 3 What sonic characteristics are important to you, and what are you looking to improve upon from the Spendors? |
