What speaker has the best tweeter?
Maggies all day. 
KEF Blade -- how good are they?
Yes, I agree. The po had them connected to tubes and the balance was warmer tho’ the hegel is a pretty good partner and with carpeted floors, acoustic tiles over Sheetrock and plenty of distance from the sidewalls these do well however there are s... 
A full range speaker?
I have an old mirage 400 watt with dual 12’’ subs and I drug it into my basement to hear what I was missing and, yeah i got those good vibrations and every piece of ductwork in the house rattling in sympathy. I agree with the above post, get healt... 
What speaker has the best tweeter?
Synergy is part of what we hear when we’re listening, obviously and memory is unreliable they say so with that out of the way and no particular order. Salon2 tweeter, usher dmd gets another vote, se upgrade meridian comes from Norway, the persona ... 
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
Did i mention the persona b yet? Probably, for good reason tho’ $7k for bookshelves is ug, but they can be found for nearly half that including stands and with your front end they should excell, if there’s any way you could home demo a pair? 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Hi yyz , I think I should know your first name by now:). Check it out. I started my upgrade 6 years ago when my krell kav 300il, ie the glue that held it all together baked for the 3rd and final time, since then and in this order the kef r107/2, r... 
KEF Blade -- how good are they?
I listened to some raidho’s at axpona, the D1.1 and D5.1, I loved the 1.1 and couldn’t get out of the d5.1 room fast enough. I really believe speakers need to be the right size for the room to make a fair assessment. Wilson speakers generally soun... 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
BUMP, Congratulations, These speakers really go under the radar and for my modest size 17'x27'x7' basement listening room the h360 drives them quite nicely. If you keep this thread going by posting any suggestions you find along the way..tia Steve 
Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience.
Bump, I had the kef r105/3 that had 2 6'' mid bass drivers and they still made male vocals sound like choir boys. Designers believe wide dispersion speakers are the way to go and maybe so, but with that coax driver pushing so much radiated sound o...

I think the persona B could be on the list.  
Average Price Spent for Speakers
A months wages, but I have to do side jobs or overtime to keep my wife calm,  
All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ?
The personas are the highest resolution speakers i've gotten to hear yet and different components will make pretty big differences in playback. I only got to hear the founder 120 with a mac driving it. the personas need several feet around them wi... 
All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ?
bump, I just listened to the new founder 120? the triple woofers and I used the db meter in my phone and these speakers don't roll off the top end. My phone mic is good to 15-16k and they were flat all the way up. Most speakers I measure with the ... 
Rockport Atria II or Magico A5
I was interested in the A5 until seeing the stereophile review and they roll off too early. I'm sure the huge boost in bass sounds impressive, but the overall measurements suggest a speaker that will be more room dependent than most. the persona 7... 
Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons.
You diy's are great at explaining fundamentals, but sometimes ignore the commercial segment many of us are asking about. I get the idea ya'll come from an 'everything being equal' stance where in the retail so much more can effect the quality of s...
