| Meridian dsp I supposed I could have titled my thread 'Why do they sound so good in the store?' and when I get them home they sound wrong. After around 8 pair (probably more) of full range passive speakers let me down I rolled the dice on a pair of DSP speaker... | |
| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers The Salon 2 does need gobs of power, in fact I sold mine when 250/425 wasn't enough to make them sing. I think if the mac speakers were any good we'd know considering all the press their amps get. The Klipsch speakers I listened to just had too mu... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? Even some old active speakers might surprise. | |
| A visit to the (Audio) Doctor One comment....A salesman's job is to sell. Self education and understanding your need's is all on you :) & BTW, good luck and have fun! A good salesman will ask questions to help get you good sound. Referrals are a big part of a succes... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? I hate to put my stamp on this but I have to agree in this price range the bose 901 for every corner and if you could hang them from the ceiling 2'x2'x2' down and out you would come pretty close to the club sound you're looking for. and not sacrif... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions My wife can't hear the difference. She thinks I'm an idiot. trust me you don't have to be 'ocd' to fall into that camp. | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Master Speaker I wonder what makes the Evidence line a premium product over the contour or confidence? what are the tradeoffs? | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl I started with the f52 then the salon1, then the salon 2. The f52 and salon1 had very similar tone with the salon having more bass and the f52 delivered a great, amazing, soundstage. I didn't have enough amp to bring the salon 2 to life and I don'... | |
| Meridian dsp I read enough threads and have had my own disappointment because as Eric pointed out I’ve bought speakers from dealers after extensive time in a store demo only to be gut punched when I get them home and can’t reproduce the sound that attracted me... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 I had the salon1 before the 2, bought both used, but the salon 1 was voiced with more presence making the tweeter in that model sound more forward and really made live recordings sound more ‘live’. the salon2 tweeter had all the detail without eve... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 I thought the tweeter in the salon2 was a little soft but also the best I’ve heard so far. I just invested heavily into my speakers or I would probably order a pair. Md has the 60 day guarantee on them. | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The 5000 sells for $14,995 on music direct with a 4-5 week delivery wait. I really like the idea of a 12” woofer and rear port for the lows. ADS, back in the day showed how revealing a dome midrange can be and if yamaha could lose the hard edge th... | |
| Anything better than Revel F228be? Trick question. For me yes, I actually preferred the f52 from revel to their newest stuff. | |
| sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price I completely agree with the OP. The B&M shops I frequent I'm up front with so I don't waste their time and they can show me the products I can afford, floor models etc. When I see used items here for -20% I just assume they're new to the game ... | |
| New Revell PerformaBe speakers The be tweeter in the ultima2 series is to my ears better than the performabe tweet, just listen to them. I didn’t find the f228 to let go of the notes like the salon2 does, but its surely an easier load so less problematic to match components wit... |
