| 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 | |

| 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 | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them driving the 7f with a Hegel h360 bass is excellent and the combination commands attention, so much information, music laid out. They really do make old tunes sound new. | |
| Persona - Cables and Interconnects Since the speakers are sensitive to the components they’re connected to I would try each one before selling anything. You never know. | |
| kef applications Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum. I brought home my dealers demo lsx speakers and found the software to be a work in progress, returned the speakers. Sorry I couldn’t b more helpful | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy I can’t tolerate 10 minutes with Martin Logan panels, all tizz and bang, but to me Vienna Acoustics are the most natural Sounding speakers And many find them dull. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed I also had a pair of ushers that managed to walk that line. The A21 is impressive in its build and its got power, but it is a little thick and speakers with hot tweeters will expose it. If you like the focal sound why not try the Kanta 2? Same exc... | |
| Floor standing or Large bookshelf recommendations - 2.0 channel setup Im sounding like a broken record, but when paradigm runs the sale the persona b is really good although I haven’t heard them with Mac gear. |
