| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 if the 9h were selling for the price of the pair recently posted which was less than the 5f retails for absolutely. Suppose I wait for the 20% sale and the 7f is $20k while the 9h is $28k. The speakers dimensions and drivers are identical so I’m p... | |
| are 4000$ /pr speakers today better than $4000/pr speakers from mid to late 1990's? My kef r105/3 circa 1990 listed for $3500. Played flat 50-15k 3” Thick front baffle, 93 dB eff, excellent dispursion and went LOUD. Detail, soundstage and imaging still benchmark. I would have to spend 4 times as much for the same product today a... | |
| Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be see if you can get a listen to the A5 so you can compare them for us. | |
| Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be I like the mids and highs from the kanta's but not much bass, the revels I think I would consider for a HT system but tbh I wouldsn't spend that much on ht. I agree that at $10k these aren't the best speakers available and scratched them off my li... | |
| Filling speaker cavities with cat litter I didn't this question was asked in 2002, but I would suggest you use sand as it's less likely to absorb moisture and will be easier to remove. | |
| The survival of the fittest. Come on this thread is worthy of speculation. He's not asking for a recommendation only how to succeed in a flooded market that quickly losing mainstream interest. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Hegen amps have a very high damping factor to go with the power ratings and i had a pair of salon 1's that were balanced kinda dark with my parasound a21 that the h360 totally transformed, Knife cuts both ways tho and bright speakers will be unbea... | |
| As Advised, Starting With Speakers First. being on a budget you do need to get it right so why not seriously consider dsp active speakers. You won’t have to worry about component matching, the dac should be part of the system, and the amps are already paired and did I mention the bass wil... | |

| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them glad you found your speakers. I never heard a B&W demo I liked at all, they always sounded dull and lifeless, dark and uninvolving. Any other critical reviews I read about b&w are the opposite complaining about the peaky mids which just re... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab Is there a shop in the greater Chicago area that demos Tekton? | |
| The survival of the fittest. marketing is king, being loose with review samples, the few rags we rely on need advertising to survive so when they don’t like a product that spends what can they do? Lie? Maybe just don’t review them or gloss over the negatives and focus on the ... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 The pathos integrated I like for the 7f is a tube pre with a 100 wpc class a/b amp. Plenty of power and gives the mids some bloom, if thats a proper term? The 9h listed is very close to what I paid for the 7f and while I got the color I wanted I t... | |
| Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio. That the contour line has been dumped by dealers for fire sale prices never helps resale value. I listened to the C60 at a shop and was also surprised at the clarity and resolution from a Dynaudio. After a few songs I started asking about them and... |
