| New drivers in old boxes? JL, I did mention I was looking for an alternative to human speaker, thanks for the time anyhow. rodman, I wasn't aware madisound offered solutions to pre existing cabinets other than their replacement driver list so thanks for that and I will use... | |
| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? The new VA's have maintained the older models musicality while overcoming the dynamic compression the earlier models suffered from. I love it when VA's are parked next to Kef or Revel, two companies steep in the science of sound because more often... | |
| End of the World system The remains of a high-end store are 20 miles away. What do you bring home, assuming you have to actually carry it back? I liked the snake oil answer and along those lines...anything with a port in it. | |
| Anybody have Focal Kanta 2 I have a difficult room and the kanta 3 had a +10db spike at 100hz and dropped like a rock from there so they were -40at 60 hz. The mids and treble integrated nicely with my room and imaging was also excellent, nothing like the ear bleeding experi... | |
| Magico vs the world Looking at used prices the Magico name holds its value better than most of the boutique brands and with the new a series coming out I could see myself trying out a used pair of A5's in 5-10 years when I can score a pair. Generally speaking, the mo... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey you're going to get a different suggestion from everybody. The deal with hifi is synergy and finding components that play well together and compliment your room acoustics. A lot of major brands have complex xovers that suck the juice out of the av... | |
| Active speakers for a large room there there’s a brand that’s been doing dsp speakers for residential applications for quite awhile and while the new prices are prohibitive the used prices are a real bargain. Don’t really get much recognition other than mqa tho. | |

| KEF Reference 5 vs. B&W 802 D3 speakers - which one better? your knowledges & opinions The stereophile review should be helpful. There's a pair for $6k on the other site but 1 woofer needs to be replaced. | |
| Hegel or Pathos? I think they're different tools for different jobs. I wouldn't want the pathos for my VA speakers, but with the persona's they make an excellent match. | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? My problems when trying to upgrade my speakers are that they never have the bass extension at home that I hear in the demos. Can you share what you're driving the f328be with? | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Thought I pissed thru a lot of speakers, that list is impressive. Sold the ushers to help fund a pair of persona 7f’s that my salesman wouldn’t sell me! I used that money to buy a pair of DSP8000’s and shortly after the se kit. Why? Bass. Many spe... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers The best bbass I ever got from a floorstanding speaker was the kef R107/2 I sold for $1000 last year including the kube. I needed the space.Usher makes a really good product managing to be musical, easy to drive and transparent. I also had a pair ... | |
| The bass is the place... To keep the speakers from boxy coloration when digging deep they have to be constructed much differently than a speaker handing off to a subwoofer. Look at how exotic manufacturers are getting to help control resonances and you can see where a lot... | |
| beryllium vs diamond My ushers had a dmd tweeter, my salon 2’s a Be and my 8k’s a be and the persona 7f that i’ve spent considerable time with also Be. I also home auditioned the kanta 3 with a be tweeter so I got some comparisons with the same components driving them... |
