| ATC SCM40 No offense intended. | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? I've had buyers drive from 400 to 900 miles to pick up a pair of used speakers and I've driven as much as 350 to buy a pair. Again, paypal is 4%, Agon is 4% shipping on a pair of floorstanding speakers on a pallet and insured will be expensive. Su... | |
| ATC SCM40 I always thought the appeal of ATC, besides the midrange driver that had its day, but would now probably among a group of quality mids, was that they were active and could be relied on to sound consistent compared to passive brands? | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 Doing a google search on some product led me to an agon post that was clearly written by me back in the phone modem days with a different screen name and email address I'd completely forgotten about. Thanks for clarifying. I was also one that tri... | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 Did you change your screen name? I know i'm late, I forget to check in. With the Blade meta's out I think the original Blade's are a flat out bargain. I stayed away from them for years because the first write up I read I think the journalist claim... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? YES. Other than truck/car audio and HT the money spent on subs could be added to a speaker budget and if one's strapped for cash there's plenty of used, floor standing active speakers out there that will deliver the goods and take less floor space. | |
| Help with speaker selection <$20k had the salon 1 and 2. Agree the s2 are clinical side of musical compared to usher be20dmd, Meridian DSP8000se, VA beethoven and persona 7f. I never heard the Aerial 10t so don’t know what you’re used to. A full, rich midrange while sounding more ... | |
| Duplicate Serial Numbers red flag. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice I'd take a trip to FLA to shop $40k speakers selling for $15k, in fact I'd make it an annual event. | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? My old Kef R105/3 had a 93.5 rating and would play insanely (114 db in room) loud without distortion. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! 110 replies and 90 different answers! No love for Vivid audio? Nobody mentioned Usher audio either. Genesis anybody, wtfarkle? I have a pair of KEF Blades with a pair of Mc611's driving them and yeah, they're gettin' it done. My previous was a ... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice What I did was shopped the market to get a feel for actual value, read all the reviews of the speakers in my price range and then shopped used so I could get my money back if my ears didn't hear what everyone else did. I learned that when a revi... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! stjernholm Those Dali Epikore are special and imho, better than the Kore considering how amplifier friendly they are. | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions That was a great pitch for ATC. well done sir. | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? If the speaker works now odds are it'll work another 20, so do you trust a stranger with your money? There could be a damaged driver that's squawking outside of their hearing ability or it was a gradual thing they adjusted to and don't notice. O... |
