| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade I have a cd player that was considered pretty good 20 years ago, but using the digital out to a new relatively cheap new dac made big improvements in sound. | |
| Persona B + Rel to the next upgrade Bump So, I love the persona line. My dealer had the persona 7f in his main 2 channel room and I got to hear them with multiple components I never heard a speaker reflect its source more dramatically. Anthem str int had its sound the str separates ... | |
| KEFQ350 Kef speakers are all tonally comparable with resolution, spl and bass improving as you go up in price or class. Play with toe in to get the mid bass smooth and you should be good. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The fun is in the hunt more than the kill. I find I'm not so crazy about the new music coming out and changing up parts of my system keeps the replays fun, but getting to the top will leave me exactly where I am...The same set list on the same sys... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) When I looked at the latest offerings at $10k locally I had the persona 3f, the Kanta 2, and the C60 and on looks alone the c60 was a clear winner. I was replacing the revel salons v1 and the dealer who demoed me the c60 was doing everything he co... | |
| Revel F228be- will my amp be enough? A local dealer carried revel for many years and he told me revel speakers can't get enough power. I bought an anthem 225i off of him after listening to it drive a pair of revel f208's. If the Marantz isn't enough pm me and i'll sell you the 225i f... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade I knew you were going to say top end and mid bass! It's always the case IDK why, but subs can't fix the midbass and while often recordings are often to blame for the top end I've found after my last round of speakers that a few companies are getti... | |
| KEF Blade 2 The kef blade are exceptional sounding, but not in your face upper mids like b&w so it would be an adjustment. | |
| KEF Blade 2 Thanks for the lead, I’ll try to find a M900 | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? Take your $1500 speakers and swap the $25 tweeter with a $500 Be or AMT and suddenly you hear a major disconnect so then you gotta upgrade the midrange and xover to retain the coherence and on it goes until you’re listening to diamond drivers in a... | |
| Kef 104/2 Replacements lol | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? What Eric said. In the 90's I was convinced metal domes were harsh and soft domes were smooth while amt's squaked off axis. I can no longer guess correctly what type of tweeter is playing just by listening to it. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The $50k speakers will melt your dennon receiver. | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) Im the used market ’ll pay half price up to 10 years old and 25% for 15 year old speakers so regarding getting $15 k speakers for $5k you’re looking for speakers at least a generation old and tbh since you have subs you don’t need huge speakers. ... | |
| KEF Blade 2 soix... let me guess you like JA speakers? good for you. the OP asked about kef blade 2 as a replacement to his B&W's. It's no secret b&w tweaks their speakers to sound brighter/more exciting than brands that try for flat in room response.... |
