| What is a good base for speakers IMy listening room's in my basement and I bought a pair of usher be20dmd's. These speakers weigh 200 lbs ea and the iron plinths that screw into them with 10 3'' metal screws weigh 85 lbs each so 285 per speaker The dude that sold em attached coas... | |
| Would you Upgrade? The listening room is so important in system synergy that buying without a home demo is like throwing darts blindfolded, not impossible for the experts but potluck for the rest of us. Focal speakers I've home demoed had huge mid bass peaks with no... | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Dealers have a knack for a/b'ing speakers so the 2nd pair sounds unfreakinbelievable. often it's simply placement and volume that makes the 2nd pair sound magical. Fool me once shame on you. If you can't get a home demo over the days the shop clos... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? placement, toe in and seating position can tweak soundstage. | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget I went on an upgrade quest for my 20 yo VA beethovens and ended up spending so much more for speakers that still were a compromise. If you like what you have and just want more go bigger. changing brands will probably disappoint as you're used to ... | |
| 802 D3 vs 803 D3 vs Sopra 3 vs Sopra 2 What are you using for power. and what's your total budget? | |

| Top down or bottom up? Just asking... Markup and volume of sales. | |
| Request experience with local audio dealer upgrade programs Generally the dealer will be upfront about any sale new or used. Surprisingly I find often I can get better prices from dealers on used gear they take on trade and don’t carry. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Lol | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Magico market doesn’t need to look at price tags. | |
| New speaker suggestion The usher be20dmd is quite a speaker, big and heavy though I preferred them to the salon2 but 285 lbs each one as big as a washing machine I moved on. Excellent if you have the room and now they can be upgraded to the dmd midrange driver. Some spe... | |
| 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 ... |
