| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? amp/speaker synergy makes too much of a difference to pick just one. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 If the Dave and Troy posts offend you why not ignore them? They're upfront about being dealers. | |
| Wilson Sophia vs Usher Mini Dancer II I had the Usher BE-20 DMD's until recently using a hegel h360 to drive them. They replaced a pair of Revel salon 2's. I'm not going to say they're better, but with the hegel in my room they were smoother with unlimited dynamics and the widest soun... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Sciencecop You say you have the 9h and go on to explain what you don't like about them. I would appreciate knowing how long you've had them in your system and how long it took you to notice the deficiencies in them, whats your room size, seati... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 It's a short riding season around here so probably the fall, however I did just get a pretty good deal on a pair of dsp8000's that I have the se kit ordered for and these might end my search completely. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 My upgradeitis to replace my Beethovens has been the R107/2, Revel f52, salon 1, salon 2, VA Strauss, and Usher BE-20 DMD's all sold and I was reaching for my wallet to buy the 7f when my dealer recommended I wait til I can swing the 9h since my r... | |
| Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?" I still have a pair of model 3's the last run for Epicure and I still find their design practical, narrow front baffle wide in back with rounded corners and ported in the base! real wood veneer in the late 80's. Imagine what they could have done w... | |
| Acoustic Zen owners/impressions Never heard them but was tempted on looks alone! | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I was being cynical, those little bluetooth JBL's at BB for around $100-150 and can be linked aren't hi-end and to us but i'm suggesting they'll be the newest, latest, greatest hifi invention. | |
| Speakers better than Revel Salon 2 I owned the salon 2 and listened to them in several different systems. The fact that the speakers sounded different in every system and during my ownership they were able to show the different recording techniques was pretty impressive. I did find... | |
| vienna strauss question I think if you run the speakers along the long wall the bass won't overload the room. The tweeter in the Strauss is not clinical. very musical speakers and I really enjoyed my time with them, They have the same drivers as the Mahler in a smaller c... | |
| Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point? I posted an answer in the amp section not realizing the op was fishing. | |
| Buy a $40,000 10 year old amp for $4,000 or new amp for same money? Personally I think 10 years for amps is around the time sending the unit in for a upgrade is prudent. If I saw a $40k amp for $4k that I was familiar with I would email the manufacturer and get the cost of refurbishing the unit, say $2k to replace... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers Those JBL wireless speakers about the size of a can of redbull is probably as close to hi end as the upcoming generation is going to get. I've had 7 pair of full range highly regarded speakers pass through my listening room in the last 5 years all... | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... If you like the Vandy's you probably need to stay with the brand and go further up the line. I was never grabbed by their sound but know they're a love em or leave em brand. |
