| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s These guys are huge, as big and fat as the salon 1. I don't have them on the plinths yet, that will be a task for tomorrow. My amp isn't warmed up yet but first impressions are positive. Not better or worse, encouraging. | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s Bump, happy New year all it's nearly 2019 and I'm about to grab a pair of usher be20 DMD for my 18+27+7 listening room please don't tell me the room is too small. , I've been dealing with a bass null that's leading me to the biggest boxes I can fi... | |
| Revel Salon 1 still worth it? Possible a small room? My piano black salon 1 speakers that I listed on every site I could find online were in pristine condition with an extra pair of speakers sold for $5700. summer 2018 | |
| Why so many used focals? 10:28am@kosst_amojan1 I listened to both the 926 and 936 and have photos from that session to remember what I did. My test CD was burnt with tracks ranging from Missa Papae Marcelli, through Jennifer Warnes, Adele, Bob Dylan, Kings of Leon, and ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) bo1972, as emotional as music and its reproduction is i'm sure it warrants all the type you've put into it, here's the thing tho'. NO WAY monitor audio is going to fit all that onto a brochure! seriously. nearfield listening can and will usually f... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 It's interesting to me how the speakers I own tend to decide what music I listen to. I did go over budget buying the salon 2 in my quest for $10k speakers. I thought NYC apt's were the entire floor? The Kanta's have an immediate sound to them that... | |
| Why so many used focals? I heard the 1028 be 2 playing beautifully thru a bunch of dealers chosen tracks only to fall apart when I asked for some old supertramp. The Kanta’s didn’t lose their musicality under the same test. So are we dealing with a more forgiving tweeter?... | |
| Why so many used focals? I think they make some of the best looking speakers out there. | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? No comparison. The Salon 2 is by far the best speaker near its price and the only reason to consider something else is poor room interaction. No knock on the focals just a different ballpark. maybe the sopra 3 vs salon 2 would get a more balanced ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I've been trying to fit some large, tall full range speakers into my basement with little luck. I've sold speakers that i've been happy with that fell a little short in 1 area or another in hopes that throwing more money at the system would bring ... | |
| Looking for new speakers The Maggie's I heard at axpona got my vote for best sound at the show. I threw as much money as I could at my speaker purchase and it's unbelievable how much time it took to get the placement just right. Seriously, if you have a fixed place you h... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I got to listen to a pair of kanta 3's at the store and first impressions are very good. Dynamic and detailed with bass that favors 70's rock. My couple of reservations are how far out in the room they were placed, 8' from the front and at least 1... | |
| Magico A3 isn't the sopra 2 twice as much as the A3? Having had such bad luck buying speakers after being bowled over at the shop to having them fall on their face once home. I demoed the C60 in the same room with the same gear with Jamie helping me select ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I heard the Kanta 3 at a local dealers and very nearly bought it myself I was so impressed with its musicality and clarity, that even handled my 70's rock! That's a first for any focal speaker before it in its price. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 I got to listen to the focal Kanta 3 yesterday they list for $12k new but sound better than anything else i've heard. obviously different rooms will make a big difference in sound and they appear to need a LOT of room around them. |
