| Dynaudio C4 vs Contour 60 I was considering the C4 as they're coming down in price and the only knock I heat on them is a small listening window and the ability to overpower a room with bass. Sometimes a certain speaker no matter how great it is just isn't the right tool f... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair the new yamaha ns5000 is $15k, but I think comes with stands and is probably a world beater. | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains I wouldn't plug a power conditioner into a power strip. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I know the experts say it ain't so but my old mirage with 2 opposite side firing woofers does a really good job without needing any room correction software. That said I needed a sub to double as an end table in the family room and bought an entry... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair You would have to try these speakers with your existing components, but the persona b when I heard them were amazing. I think the sale's over tho'. | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? I scooped up a pair of DSP8000’s sl that I upgraded to se and I’m sold on dsp now. A lot of speakers have passed through this room and any bass below 70 hz was a problem and made most speakers sound clinical. My room doesn’t seem to affect the out... | |
| Active speakers for a large room Did you get to listen to a pair of meridian DSP8000’s?I imagine the bass presentation would be about opposite of what the pmc delivers but having only read reviews I don’t know. | |
| British Speakers vs All the Rest I agree with martykl. I can say the late 80s mid 90s the KEFs and b&w sound was overall pretty dull with a notable midrange and not much pop. It’s a global market now and more brands sound more alike with partnering equipment making a bigger d... | |
| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? that was harsh. | |
| 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... |
