| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? freshman hs, I think. First time I ditched the afternoon classes and got high with the ‘cool kids’ it was a clock radio and baba o’reilley had just come out and was playing. I’ve been chasing that magic ever since and I gotta say at this point I t... | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them I’ve been buying speakers used here and on usam to home demo for as long as I want with my equipment in my room. I figure once I get the pair that gets it the way I like it I can keep them or resell to get the finish I prefer. I can’t afford to ch... | |
| What should be my next speaker - the never ending question Wanting that kind of detail and putting smooth in the same sentence is kinda what we all want. What I found that got me there won't do you any good since our rooms have nothing in common. I like the VA Listz suggestion, but... | |
| Bi-amping Rules I like integrated amps that have pre outs so if needed I can add a muscle amp to drive the bass. I've had a few pair that needed gobs of power to wake up the bass. | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? All things being equal there's no replacement for displacement...But use the sportbike analogy and the experienced will say smaller and lighter is better on a tight track. My old fischers with 15'' woofers would allow me to feel the air pressure i... | |
| Altec Stonehenge 2 speakers..Anybody know these? 15 yo thread | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity The bitch about being a middle class audiophile is saving for a pair of dream speakers you heard at a shop or show bringing them home to have them sound awful. It’s happened to me more than once. Dsp active speakers, digital xovers, controlled dir... | |
| Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass? If you can afford it all you can have it all. | |
| Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass? There's something to be said for huge woofers and not making them dig too deep would be easier to drive. I think stereophile reviewed a pair of cerwyn vega x215's | |
| Personal speaker evolution I didn't start reading this thread til page 15- 2014. I listed purchase years after the product and having 4 pair at a time isn't uncommon.bought n-new,u-used.Lloyds dept store quad system 1974nfischer xp95c 1982nRealistic 3 way towers 1985nKenwoo... | |
| Magico S5 or Rockport Atria win, win, win. You could do what I do and wait til there's used models on the market and demo a pair as long as you want. Buy all 3 sell all 3 and now that you're confident on the one you like best each company will replace them with new models an... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? I brought the nova 300 home for my beethovens and returned it. A used H160 would sound great and probably not cost too much used you lose the wireless streaming tho’.I just looked at the pic. Could you reglue it? | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them The motorcycle industry is taking advantage of india wages and scale of economy so will audio? I wonder | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? I measured the, ahem 7” woofers in my beethovens and I think actual cone size is 5.5”. I love them and will probably always have them but they aint head bangin speakers | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? How loud? The beethovens with those smaller drivers in a small box will sound stressed above 96db |
