| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? I love the beethovens, but I can’t justify paying new prices when used gear thats in great shape can be had for a fraction. I used a Krell kav300il, anthem 225i, and a hegel h360. Mine are the 2 woofers and 2 mids in the 2nd version which I believ... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 He has to come up for air sometime | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? Even the -3 dB specs are subject to proper placement and room boundaries. | |
| Bose 901 Guess it depends on what you’re expecting. The first track on ‘momentary lapse of reason’ the bass line during the rowboat had the furniture in my apartment vibrating! It took speakers matched with components many times the cost to get the bass th... | |
| Bose 901 The hate for the 901’s has to come from people that never heard them. Coarse I could talk smack about almost every speaker I’ve heard at a show like ces or axpona. Those of us that owned them and took the time to set them up know. After spending a... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers if you dont need rock concert levels I’ve had to go way above $2k to get more engaging speakers than the V A beethovens . There’s a few iterations and used can be found around your budget. Slightly recessed mids with a really clean tweeter and eno... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! I really wanted to buy the 7f last year after going thru several well regarded speakers and in my conversations with the dealer and the steep bass rolloff below 80 hz from other ‘full range’ models he refused to sell me the 7f and said I needed th... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 can you ns5000 owners list the components you’re happy with in the system, tia | |
| Bose 901 they could rattle windows with a 55 wpc realistic receiver driving them. properly set up bass was killer but probably didn’t get much above 7k on the top end. fun speakers when you consider the competition at the price was Cerwyn vega and other hu... | |
| Anybody have Focal Kanta 2 I brought the kanta3 home to demo against my usher be20dmd’s and while i liked the kanta’s initially the lack of bass in my room made for a lightweight presentation that didn’t hold up. Maybe in a room that supports bass better than mine | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Congratulations. | |
| Unusual speaker placement Vienna Acoustics makes their own mid/woofer cones and I believe have a manufacturer assemble them, I still have a pair of beethovens that use an excellent tweeter, I also had the strauss that was a step above these but all the drivers were outsour... | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? You can verify the dimensions yourself and as dr toole says bass output is more room dependent than the speakers below 300 hz. Congratulations on the new speakers, I’ve always liked revel | |
| Little two-way boxes on a stand.... I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I listened to the persona b weekend before last and now I’m thinking of replacing my beethovens with them. | |
