| Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut BUMP, at the list price the c60 or c60i are a lot of speaker for the asking, value per dollar is something we're not used to putting alongside dynaudio, but compared to what most other companies are offering at the same price these seem like a no ... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? For kef blade owners that bought new I have to wonder if the loss selling the previous blade to step up to the meta's is as obvious as spending an additional $15k on an amp/pre combo? | |
| Revel Salon 2 speakers How's the soundstage from your salon 2? I had the hegel h360 when I had them and it was a really strange sensation having pinpoint imaging devoid of soundstage. In hindsight I don't think the h360 had the headroom to get the woofers pumping. Compa... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? That's interesting and probably room/setup dependent even according to kefs own data. | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using Currently using a hegel h590 with a pair of kef Blades. and the results are satisfying. I thought I would need $20-25k electronics yet the Hegel is really, really good. I don't have a separate power supply or even circuit breaker so the background... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? If you find ML smooth you must find Magico and SF dead. or have a much more damped room than I use. | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? I wouldn't count out the Krell without trying it. I think the Michi would be sonically inferior to your Krell and the blades are surprisingly efficient, specifically with most full range speakers if my amp isn't strong enough I hear it as a lack o... | |
| Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter? I'm not familiar with Totem speakers so I can't recommend anything! That said when I upgraded my Krell kav 300il I tried quite a few products and the H360 woke up speakers like no similar powered amps did. At the time I was using the salon 1's and... | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? The F208 are good speakers for the money, but paradigm founder series, speakers from Dali and even the kef r11 are comparably good and your room might be more important in finding the right combination. I do remember revel f208 needing big watts a... | |
| Revel Salon 1 mid range drivers I found 1 thread that the owner didn't have to destroy the driver to get it out, most have to destroy the cone and pry the basket out. as to replacements Revel is no worse than other companies that only guarantee supply for 10 years after model di... | |
| KEF LS60 with a pair of KC62s v Blade 2 Height of subs shouldn't matter as much as the ls50's and even those can be tilted a few degrees if necessary. Measurements show the uniq driver is linear to +30deg so toe in shouldn't be necessary yet some reviewers still claim improvements from ... | |

| Help fine-tune my speaker search I found the Vienna Acoustics Beethovens to be a great addition to my R105/3's. The other option is to go up the ladder. I have a pair of Blades I'm selling to upgrade to the blade meta's. | |
| Choosing new speakers after 20 years I have dealers that will let me bring home their demo products and if your dealer has concerns that your current amp could be a problem with the speakers I would expect him to work with you. | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room List of speakers I’ve had in my listening room for at least 6 months. Revel salon 1, salon 2, usher be20dmd, persona 7f, meridian dsp 8000se, Kef blade, vienna acoustics strauss and kef r107/2&r105/3. for a bright room I would recommend th... |
