| When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you? Factors like how often does the speaker come up for sale? I bought a pair of ushers be20 dmd’s the seller rated 5 of 10 but they never come up used locally, the seller did a passable job repainting them and I was confident they would resell if/whe... | |
| high end standmounts that do not punish poor recordings? KEF ref 1 are very good with a smooth tweeter, but compared to the last Dynaudio's I heard the Dyn's have more lower mid/upper bass while the KEF has more mid and upper mid detail and energy. I've paired the h590 with KEF Blades and sound was real... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed Being that Rockports are in your main system, Vienna Acoustics, Usher, less analytical, more relaxed sound, maybe SVS(I haven’t heard them) would be a nice change up from your reference? That is a large room maybe a used pair od Meridian DSP 7200... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' oh yeah, I'd have to pick The Island or my hobbies, I wouldn't be able to afford or need both. | |
| Help identifying this speaker? Dynaudio went on a kick putting the woofers on top then mids and tweets, but that ain't Dynaudio. Looks like it was made exactly for the placement it's in. | |
| Speaker change I like to change up for the different perspective new speakers can bring to familiar music also. Is also why I buy used now. Those Raidho D1.2, There's the NS 5000 by Yamaha that would present a very different sound than the Dynaudio with more res... | |
| SOLVED: Room boom It's interesting. Going from an old entertainment center to a solid component rack made an obvious audible improvement!. | |
| Need Integrated amplifier My dealer had a pair of paradigm persona 7f’s in their main listing room over a year and each time I came in they were connected to different components and each time the music was delivered highlighting something different. Most amps made the sou... | |
| Kef blade 1 meta Op never replied, | |
| KEF "Q"uestion I didn't care for those speakers compared to the competition. Back then KEF and B&W couldn't seem to shake that traditional conservative 'British" sound and the entire line just sounded kind of dull. | |
| Tannoy or Volti My experience with Tannoy was pretty good, but I think they might be a bit conservative sounding for a Klipsch owner. | |
| Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls? OP wants to know what JA pearl owners consider an upgrade without having even heard them and ended with soux throwing his beer at AT. fun stuff. | |
| Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market? B&W is massive and they upgrade their models often enough to keep even content owners interested in upgrading. I would suggest all speakers have their own inherent sound that can create disinterest over time. | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? When my KEF R 105/3’s were 25 years old I sold them and went on the upgrade path. I bought and resold a bunch of speakers in the +/- $20k retail range, all well regarded and all were great, but I think I landed back on KEF because after so many y... | |
| what is a good mcintosh preamp and monoblocks for a b&W 802d I can second the c49. |
