| Accuracy vs. musicality to be continued. I believe speakers to be a choice of compromise. | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality I've owned speakers from manufacturers that put the science of music first. Kef in the early 90's made some speakers that measured remarkably flat in room while falling flat on their face playing music, Modern Revel that swear they have a formula ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range I scrolled all the way to the bottom without reading any previous posts,yet. You do understand the rule of diminishing returns in hifi right? $20k isn't going to get you twice as much quality as the a3, persona 3, kanta 2, F2289be. I like that foc... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Accurate measurement should mean the speaker doesn't add or subtract anything from the signal being fed right? so if you have a room that adds or subtracts different fq's speakers that compensate for it will in fact more accurate right? If it's a ... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? can I yes, will I probably not. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers BTW Alon Wolf demo's his A3's with a hegel h30, expensive and hard to find used so I bought an h360 from my 'made in America' dealer' and saved 5 figures for retirement. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers fun thread! I have started several " Best speaker for $10,000" threads and like you got recommendations from 1 extreme to the other and tbh I may still not be done. You can't go wrong with magico. Enjoy the music. | |
| Is there actually a difference? 1 of my local dealers manages to keep a straight face when suggesting output is the only difference between amps is output! Component matching is important and makes a real audible difference and properly matching an amp to speakers will have audi... | |
| Hegel H300 still worth getting? i had a lot of drop outs streaming tidal from my laptop so I bought a music server, got my laptop back and no more drop outs. the h360 doesn't decode mqa so the highest res we can get from tidal is 24/96 still very good. | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen I got my threads mixed up,apologies. | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Not materials as much as transition from drivers. ricred1 I think I followed your path from the f52 to the salon2 and now the 9H? besides the active bass how else would you compare the speakers to each other? The 9H is much more than I can fit in ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I expect the speakers we read the most mixed reports about, say persona 3f goes from both ends of the scale some saying it's bright and unlistenable to the best speaker they've heard for the price to mean those are more room dependent ie less colo... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Skyscraper i apologize for the late reply. To answer your question about how I made difficult speakers sound good well I kept bringing in different components and cables. most amps built to a price which at the time was nad, adcom, nak, B&K, a... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under I heard the 2ce-ci? years ago There was a fairly new owner in the shop just looking for others to bask in the joy of listening to them, according to the new satisfied owner the rest of speaker manufacturers were wasting time. they sounded more lik... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen 9/23/18Got to demo the 3F's yesterday all I have to say is paradigm is close. IMO and compared to my home system they need to work on getting the output of the midrange to match the bass and tweeter and tonally the speaker will be there. Imaging a... |
