| Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f I heard the 3f's with new anthem gear yesterday and the demo was impressive, I have a little concern about the exaggerated bass output but I expect that was speaker design choice and had nothing to do with the amp. The patch for the 225i has the u... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Mike, I have to second the above post. At the price we're shopping in even if you had a dealer nearby they're not crazy about shlepping $10k speakers to listeners homes unless they're more than a little confident of a sale. It was the reason I bou... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I think Kef Uniq drivers are pretty even out to 30 deg off axis. Revel does work at making the off axis as linear as they can since the data shows first reflections play a significant role in what we hear and like. The speakers don't lack mid rang... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I was at axpona in march and I was looking to spend about $10k on speakers I mean why not? the banks giving .1% on my money, well that lame a$$ excuse was enough to get my wife on board. I didn't care for most of the big speakers in the hotel room... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Another thread the OP did what I did and bought a pair of revel salon2's. Someone posted he resold the salons pretty quick after raving about them. Revel is confident their spinorama is a foolproof path to musical perfection, but every speaker is ... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 The h360 has a decent dac also. I drive a pair of Salon2's with mine in a 17x28 basement room and only once had thermal protection kick in and mute output, I was listening to RHCP at +100 db and there was no clipping or audible distortion. Before ... | |
| Amps for revel salon 2 BUMP, Levinson amps are used during the design and revels sound comparison testing so I wouldn't dismiss them, in fact mine were demoed on the big ML 400 watt monoblocks and sounded stunning! However being on a budget I kept the Hegel h360 I used ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I find the speaker brands NOT on the list interesting! Some big names with class A /product of the year awards not on the list. but, on topic just about any british speaker still working from the 70's and 80's would fill the bill, no? | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? xti16 just made a good point most speakers sound best a few feet from surrounding walls so either way you'll probably be listening pretty close to the speakers, not a bad thing, but know what the speakers were designed for. How did you narrow your... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Vienna Acoustics | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Congratulations on your new speakers, I try to listen to what's popular at the dealership' to narrow it down then bring home the finalists to see how well they sound in my room. Having bought expensive speakers that bowled me over in the showroom... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? never turn my gear off but turn volume down when not in use and unplug power strip during tstorm. | |
| Focal Electra 1028BE vs Revel Perform a vs PSB Imagine T3 The f208 would be a better comparison to the speakers listed. To my ears the focals be tweeters give a more detailed presentation than revel. I didn't get to hear the two side by side so who's to say? I find the Revels manage to have all the music... | |
| Revel salon 2 break-in period? Mine were fully broke in when I got them being 1 year old demos. After 6 months I still move them around the room since they really reward when you get them in the sweet spot. | |
| Accurate vs Musical BUMP I expected this thread to live on. I think every audiophile should own both! Speakers are getting very close and it seems the big decider is the listening room and mating it with the right speakers. Imaging is really important to me, any spea... |
