| Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 Would be helpful to know what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you. | |
| Do I really need to upgrade to Rockport Atria ? Well, since you're not listening to audio much anymore I'd highly recommend you sell me your Mira 2s at a steeply discounted price, buy semi-decent L/R/C speakers and surrounds from the likes of GoldenEar, PSB, Paradigm, etc., to complete the home... | |
| Full-range recommendations I think the Pulsars would be a great speaker for your situation. They are not sterile nor are they overly warm, they probably image and soundstage as well or better than your Ref 3As and will certainly add the bass you're currently lacking. They m... | |
| Some amplifier questions Pgawan2b,If this was a furniture/home decor website I'd say fine -- whatever blows your skirt. But on this site and in this company, matching $15k of electronics with a 42" TV is a crime. | |
| Some amplifier questions I once helped a guy set up a home theater on which he spent about $15,000 on very good speakers and electronics, but his beloved antique cabinet would only house a 42" widescreen TV. What a crime. I think letting a cabinet dictate your choices is ... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? Elegal - did you listen to this track with your other speakers and find the snare muffled by comparison with the MLs, or is this just with regard to the MLs alone and not in comparison to other speakers? This is a critical question that has been a... | |
| Some amplifier questions Here's a link with a brief description of what room correction does. If you go to the bottom and click the FAQ section there will be answers to many other questions you may find helpful as well. In a nutshell, even getting stereo speakers to sound... | |
| Some amplifier questions Since 90% of your time will be watching TV the center speaker will be of particular importance and I'd try to get the best one that fits your space and budget. Personally I like either using a monitor speaker (preferably matching the L/R speakers)... | |
| new speakers for studio? Salon 2, Wilson.... Since you're also considering upgrading your amp you might consider active speakers like ATC SCM50 ASL or ASLT (tower version). Here's a review from a recording engineer's perspective that may be interesting:http://www.stereomojo.com/ATC%20SCM50AS... | |
| upgrade from Mini Dancer 2 DMD $5-10k Seems a little strange since the MD2s are rated down to 28Hz, although I noticed a reviewer placed them six inches closer to the front wall than usual for speakers of this type so you appear to not be alone in thinking them a little bass shy. And ... | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? Are you comparing to how this recording sounded with your previous (Genesis?) speakers? Do you notice this with other recordings with snare drums as well? Also, noticed you were asking about speakers you could place close to the wall in a previous... | |
| Some amplifier questions What's your budget for the receiver and speakers (including the sub)? | |
| Some amplifier questions Two important questions are 1) how important is sound quality for that 10% of music and 2) what speakers are you using and how hard are they to drive?I'm guessing music will be more of a secondary thing and so sound quality not of the utmost impor... | |
| Help with new speakers Well, now we know what you have and why you want to replace the speakers, but you're still not telling us what specifically you're looking to improve upon or what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you. Without that information ou... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Journey - Wilson, B&W, Linn From what you describe and if I were you I wouldn't buy anything before at least hearing the Rockports. I would think Verity, Joseph Audio, Dynaudio, and Nola would be other excellent options to explore as well. You also seem to be an excellent fi... |
