| Used vs. new Buying used has saved me from losing money on speakers that didn't fit my room, or needed better power than I could afford at the time to make them sing. Now I have a very good sounding system half used half new that sounds and looks amazing, but ... | |
| Bose 901 VI flat? If you can hang them from the ceiling 2x2x2' in from the corners you'll get amazing room support for the bass. I loved mine with an sta 235b realistic receiver driving them. | |
| Older Revel vs Newer Magicos the studio 2 is a much better speaker than the studio 1 and probably still has a higher ceiling than the A3 goes, but room acoustics and component matching still matter more than trying to plug and play a new pair of speakers. | |
| Help building 2 channel system I upgraded my amp/pre to suit a pair of speakers, the salon 1 and when I upgraded to the salon 2 my amp/pre was wasted money as the new speakers requirements were so different. | |
| Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702 They're both good choices, you have to listen to both. | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Maybe trying a tube pre with the Mc611's? | |
| Low level listening I was going thru the same thing with my KEF Blades, They were uninvolving until I started pushing to 90db and above, but for me the magic happens at softer volumes. I swapped my Hegel H590(the Beast) for a pair of Mc611's and was amazed at how muc... | |
| More Bass I've had similar struggles to yours and adding subs never helped in a 2 channel system, at some volume the sub bass and mains quit playing together. I had a velodyne with a remote volume and phase button, one of several solutions I tried, but my s... | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? nah, I have to admit being impressed by the Raidho D1.2 before the covid lockdown and last year at axpona the bookshelf Borrensen, but after seeing a pair of raidho D5's resell for 10% of their list price at only 4 years old it's clear the target ... | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Huh? Like 2 amps per side with the 611’s driving the bass and the 275’s driving the mid and treble? | |

| Whole reference system was stolen, need budget friendly integrated. Help Please! I like the Hegel integrateds, I have an older h360, but heard the h390 drive a pair of Dali epicon 8’s compared to a hifi rose that I don’t know what model, but the Hegel clearly handled the Dali nicely. The dealer had the MF6 i si,idk that he sai... | |
| Macintosch 8950 or parasound a21 I had the A21 power amp driving my revel salon1 speakers and it was beautiful. I took a peek under the hood and couldn’t believe how luxurious it looked for the price! That said, with the salons the a21 added some audible upper bass thickness that... | |
| A review of Dynaudio C2 vs KEF Blade 2 The Blades are expensive enough to justify auditioning some different source components. I've found a combination that's not quite as expensive as the speakers, yet audibly different enough and better in areas important to me to validate the upgra... | |
| KEF Blade 2 Meta I'm using +30 year old kimber 4tc so probably not the one to ask, but I have brought several different lines of nordost flat wire home and couldn't hear an audible improvement. I would wait til the speakers were setup and decide if any further twe... |
