| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Sometimes a great deal is a great deal and sometimes it's necessary to move a product that was optimistically priced originally. Revels typically needs lots of juice and usually sound light in the bass, but if they sound good in your room that's a... | |
| Very new to high end audio - Recomendations log out, google audiogon and when the site shows up select speakers instead of discussions. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. A guy with Harbeth's driven by tube gear asking for advice? Do they sound dull in the evening listening in the nearfield? Maybe too much of a good thing with tubes at low volume. Try a ss int at low volumes? | |
| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? The dealer that played me the founder 120's also played a $2500 pair of Dali's that were impressive at the price. | |
| I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull? Raidho d1.1-2 great little speaker | |
| New Paradigm Persona Update Coming Soon? I traded the 7f for the kef blade last month(bucket list) and they're both so good, their qualities are very similar regarding transparency, bass detail, the 7f goes a bit deeper while the blades have more output. The biggest difference is the sou... | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. I recently heard a pair of Dali speakers that were in the $2k range that were impressive. The hersey’s have been in the klipsch lineup forever, congrats. | |
| I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull? What volume? A song that sounds great at 95 db might sound sibilant at 105 db. Most speakers can handle normal volumes but the closer you get to ‘The Who live” concert levels the. More important room treatments and component matching become. | |
| Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. Speakers with metal drivers are a pita. Pulling my old speakers that used poly cone drivers and dropping in a pair with all metal drivers sucked. I just went through several of the affordable headliners (ahem 20-30k list) and while there’s no deny... | |
| Wilson v Sonus Faber What EBM said. | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers IME, listening to passive speakers anywhere but your own room and system is a waste if time. Active dsp reduces the variables and many of the designs control disbursion (no clue) to minimize room acoustics, so if you like the sound of a properly s... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 The annual revival. lol the salon2 if you have a pair of mc 601’s will boogie, but if you try to drive them with anything less they will sound bass shy. The salon 2 thats 13 years old now is being compared to $5k f208 would beg to ask how importan... | |
| Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality? depends on the tweeter, a soft dome or aluminum can be pulled back into shape with some tape. | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers I love my meridian dsp8000se. Even semi active will often ‘fix the problem many floor standers have because the bass will offer some adjustability. There are some good threads on this forum that describe active, semi active and active dsp in detai... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Interesting about 24/192 mqa. I was told I needed usb to get it, but maybe thats because I use a nucleus. |
