| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' my coax kef R105/3 baked a tweeter when the wires inside my antique RGR amp shorted and the design with those was a hole in the center of the mid magnet and a stem soldered to the back of the tweeter which was about the size of 4 quarters stacked.... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' $2100 for a tweeter is unacceptable. VA is proud to say they have their tweeters made for them and even giving them 50% markup after getting the ScanSpeak/visa/seas unit there’s no way it should cost that much. Sometimes you can figure out which t... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position These are the ns 5000? Excellent choice. I really appreciate what Eric is suggesting. I have a 6’x8’ piece of carpet hanging on the sidewall of my listening room, it helps. One day I may replace it with vicoustics or another brand, but it showed m... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F Owners Bump, did you buy them? Details like room size, spacing, amplifier, umm, break in, sub(s). Satisfied? | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 The H190 is great and any decent speaker that doesn’t need 400 wpc should sound better by association. Hegel doesn’t spend all your money on shiny faceplates they deliver the sound as good as any, | |
| Paradigm Persona: what do you think? Not cheap, but a lot for the money | |
| Subwoofer Suggestion When I brought the kanta 3 home I loved the mids and highs but the bass was a mess, +10db at 100hz and -20 at 80 hz with a little recovery around 60 hz b4 falling off the chart. My room. Moving them to the long wall and playing with boundary place... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? Probably the biggest expense. Company's are using sound deadening treatments to coat the inner walls of these wood cabinets. Mine are layered birch plywood with an aluminum core then the innermost gooped with some sound crap that kills resonance i... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick Meridian dsp 7000. for the price used, Get a listen. | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Most speakers don't provide that 'room lock' bass in my room that I hear in shop demos. I can't explain why but I had a pair of speakers on stands I couldn't get any bass from so due to the insanity of this hobby I flipped the stands over, mounted... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? I think every pair of speakers I’ve owned imaged well. Some speakers are easier to place than others. Some companies take the time to match each pair to within a half a dB of each other, some believe in a narrow baffle some use horn loading tweete... | |
| Bose 901 Series 1 & 2 versus KEF 104/2's and 105/3's I had the 901vI and R105/3 and found the first uniq design to lack midbass necessary to fill out male vocals. Eddie Vetter sounded like he was singing falsetto. Still I endured those speakers 25 years trying to get them to sound as they did in the... | |
| LS50W Is the KEF App really that awful? I couldn’t get the app to work when I brought the lsx home to demo. to be fair I gave up trying after an hour. | |
| Which Would You Prefer This hobby is all about mixing and matching equipment to listen for the differences and although we say once we get it right we’re done, we really never get done. I spent a few years listening to $20k+/- speakers with some solid components and aft... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I went through many speakers. Vienna acoustics use quality tweeters that offer exceptional resolution without being sibilant or ever sounding harsh. the Beethovens are hard to beat at the price.. Revel speakers didn't sound bright and are probably... |
