| Some thoughts on Focal Kanta I find it fascinating how important room and component matching have to do with final impressions. I liked the Kanta 2 enough to convince my local Focal dealer to order the Kanta 3 which I had home 2 weeks before returning! there was a +10 db bump... | |

| Has anyone lost a KEF tweeter? It's surprising to hear of Kef tweeters failing as bulletproof as my experience has been. | |
| Best Floorstanding Speakers Buyers Guide 2023 ! I buy what pleases me not audio rag reviewers. I'll admit a sense of pride when I see my speakers in the top 25, but tbh I've owned at least 5 of the 25 from 1 list and they're all gone replaced by speakers that sounded better in my room with my m... | |

| budget speakers I always thought paradigm measured their speakers in an anechoic chamber causing them to sound bright compared to most of the competition. When a buddy was looking for 'budget' speakers we compared mission,paradigm, and klipsch . the Klipsch were ... | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) The persona 7f have some overbuilt woofers meaning you can eq the h e l l out of them if needed, however those speakers, even tho' they don't need gobs of power they are hyper sensitive to source. Dali Epicon is an older design dealers will deal. ... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I only had a 250/425 wpc amp when I had my salon 2's and the guy I sold them to says he uses Mac MC601's on them and the clipping lights flicker when he's cranking them. I owned the Kef R105/3's for 25 years so probably got used to their sound pos... | |
| Bridged amps vs stereo vs monoblocks. I used to do the horizontal bi-amp with an affordable, more powerful amp driving the bass and a quality Krell integrated driving the top with ok results, but I finally broke down and bought a pair of Mc611 monoblocks with a dedicated pre/dac and c... | |

| Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3? ovature chill out, we're all friends here, right? Reviewers are politicians in that they have to please everybody, still they often leave a trail of breadcrumbs that tell us what they really think. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers My neighbor had the ADS studio monitors, rdm-1 or something. A 10" woofer, dome mid and two tweeters with a toggle switch to match the tweeter to standing the speaker or laying it down. He talked me into a pair of ADS L9e that weren't bad for the... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I had to read the OP a couple times to understand. Congrats on the Bryston's! You compared resale value to B&W. Buying used or 'B' stock like you did is the only way to save yourself the gut punch of retail markup. When I consider how much of... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... A local dealer had a large pair of Maggie's in on trade that were set up in a very small room and all they did to get amazing sound from them was pull them away from the front wall. and 2 feet from each side. Even close together the speakers gave ... | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 Did you ever get to demo the Blade? I went from 300 wpc to 600 wpc and the difference was stunning. The speakers had decent dynamics with the 300 watt piece, but were completely opened up with the 600 watt monoblocks. Every aspect of the presentat... |
