| older speaker designs My experience with revel is more watts, more dynamics. The only nk on the f206 is owners find them light in the bass compared to the competition. I spent time with the f208 with an anthem 225i driving them and found them to have an open sound with... | |
| Smaller vs larger listening rooms? Having speakers sound proper in a room where they can be placed out of the way is rare. | |
| Does the age of a speaker matter when selling if the model is still current? Generally speaking on the used market 10 years would expect 50% list price. Being 1 owner helps as does available replacement parts. Condition also matters. Market matters. I would list them at half price plus the listing fees also putting paypal ... | |
| New speaker suggestion I think Pass would be a good match for paradigm. I think a pair of persona 7f would impress. | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Epicure models 1 thru 5 had the eyeball tweeter. I thought they were ahead of their time with narrow front baffle wider in the back with rounded corners and bottom ported bass. I had the 5 I sold for ADS l9e, traded 1 pair of ear bleeders for anot... | |
| Replacement for 802 D3s I bought the persona 7f 5 months ago and drive them with a hegel h360. I think what impressed me most is that the bass is as transparent and fast as the rest of the system. Your list looks like a win, win, win. The Wilson being the biggest pita to... | |
| Need speaker advice I really like the persona line for how dynamic they play with low power amps. You could get a good used pair of 3f for your budget. | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? When did $3000 become 'affordable'? | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? So many 'hi end' speakers need careful setup that A speaker I sold, the revel salon 1 and 2 for not coupling with my room are much loved by their new owners, but they weren't bright, just boring. The speakers that gave me fits for 15 of the 25 yea... | |
| can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP I was told wifi was limited to 24/96 and to get higher had to be usb. Maybe that info is outdated idk, but a place to start. | |
| Worth it to add streamer to Hegel H390 I have the H360 and would stream tidal from my msi laptop. I struggled with delays and dropouts so I bought a roon nucleus and a usb hard drive. I downloaded my library to the portable drive, plugged into the nucleus which I made the "core'. As si... | |
| Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer? This thread completely lost me/ I thought the roon nucleus was a dedicated streamer that fed a dac. I have 2 systems, 1 Meridian DSP and the other with a hegel integrated with dac. in each case the roon accesses my library and tidal, finds conten... | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? I appreciate the in room response tests with a couple competitors measurements thrown in. It helps give meaning to listening impressions. | |
| Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's... Vienna acoustics beethovens, any version. slightly recessed mids that work well with most recordings. I will say they are more steely dan than rush. | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them Hi Dave b. The b&w demos I’ve listened to just weren’t convincing too bad cause I was taken by the looks of the 802d xx. I’m one of those guys that liked kef over b&w and how either of them can be called‘British sound’ when they sound so d... |
