Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! I brought the kanta 3 home for awhile. I like their looks and the upper mid and treble was pretty special, but I couldn't get much bass from them so they went back. I need speakers to reach 50 hz b4 rolling off because I don't use subs and the kan... | |
Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's You mentioned the personas, I’ve been using the 7f with a hegel h360 for 6 months, but what sold me on the speakers was how it performed with a couple less powerful integrateds, the pathos logos mk2 and the little lumin 60 watt model. Speakers are... | |
Which speaker among Dali, Dynaudio and Acoustic Energy should I choose? Your amp should do well with any of the 3 speakers you pick. Unfortunately we can’t tell you what you’re going to like better. | |
Paradigm Persona 5F I had the R 107/2 at the same time as the R 105/3 and surprisingly the 107/2 was bright in comparison, more deep bass and the 105/3 was colored in the mids...A speaker can be bright if it isn't harsh or colored. If I put the personas too close to ... | |
Active Speaker Choice High-amp, I’m not advocating for meridian only justifying my own purchase because I could never recommend them at the prices they charge for new, used levels the playing field. Honestly if you understand (I don’t) how speaker placement works in yo... | |
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative I’ve been buying and selling used speakers so I can listen to the most recommended in my room with my gear. The problem is taking a chance on smaller brands with small marketing budgets can be harder to resell if they don’t workout. Have fun with ... | |
Looking for my Final Pair!! I got my threads crossed, enjoy the Klipsch. | |
Active Speaker Choice There’s many powered speakers out there but active dsp is another animal. Whats best forum has a very informative thread on the D&D dsp speakers and the owner/reviewer describes in detail the care put into setup and while it makes sense l thin... | |

Active Speaker Choice The dsp5200se was probably against the wall and they’re the only pair of the 3 current floor standers that are rear ported. I won’t buy a new pair of speakers without hearing them in my room first. Genelec is pretty impressive and they have their ... | |
Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers? Most manufacturers offer speaker lines broken into quality and then room size so there may be 3 or 4 speakers in a line that only differ in bass output. Near field can be accommodated with toe in or distance between speakers relative to the listen... | |
Paradigm Persona 5F Dali Epicon 8 speakers look sweet, I've always been interested in Dali. I had the Kef R105/3 with kube and bi amped they could push 114 db, freaking amazing, but I never got used to the missing mid bass hump we hear in most box speakers, also the ... | |
Active Speaker Choice Just like passives, Active dsp systems will have their own sound. I really like Meridian for the rich full midrange and bass. Used M is competitive and established. The models get upgrades over the years so it's worth taking some time to find out ... | |
Paradigm Persona 3F vs 7F For 2 channel guys, I can't still be the only one, subs are unwanted distractions. Unfortunately most full range speakers have such low impedence in the bass that they feel thin. Previous speakers would have me using 200wpc amps on the lower taps ... | |
Paradigm Persona 5F Unlike you I had the ability to try them with several different components and I bought my pair. |
