| Why so many used focals? yea, they've changed how the search engine works. I type in Focal and 2 pages of speakers appear I hit the search button and they all disappear! then if I search from my phone I get a completely different list. Anyhow I finally got the Kanta 3's i... | |

| Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50 I never owned the ls-50 i have the R107/2 , had the R105/3, Q5 and some c10's. I have heard modern Kef's and they sound similar to Kef of old, not a bad thing. Usher offers warmer sounding speakers. All the rags have anointed the ls-50 as world be... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Anybody see the dynaudio C4 for $8800? They are too tall to fit on 1 side of the room so I passed but I would expect them to be hard to beat. | |
| New speakers? No thanks. I was at a shop when a 2ci owner came in and all he could do was question the need for any of the other speakers on the floor since the vandy's were clearly the only speakers in the shop worth a dime. Gotta love his passion, personally I found the... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? The Kef R105/3 were dynamic threw a wall of sound and forced their will on you. soldVienna Acoustics Beethovens, offered big sound with excellent contrast that was intoxicating.storedKef R107/2 Bass! currently serving ht duties Revel F52. polished... | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s these be20 dmd's are the best sounding speakers i've had in my room and i've had several. to busy listening to do a write up but anybody with an opportunity to hear these should. | |
| Any good right angle power cables? I had a ysp-1 for 13 years that finally died and I replaced it with the ysp 5600 yesterday and the power outlet is on the opposite side! I screwed myself burying all the cords and cables in the wall and only routing to 1 side. I guess I could cut ... | |
| Bi-amping with integrated I've used a power amp to drive the bass, or bottom binding posts while using the int to drive the top and many times it's worked with excellent results, but a few years ago I used a power amp with identical power ratings at 8 and 4 ohms as the int... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I'll bite. I bought a hegel int and owned a couple int's before that. I had a Krell int that had class a pre and the power side baked so I used as a pre amp for several years while going thru a parade of power amps. Every Int i've had offers main ... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under I bought a pair of KEF R105/3 back in the day and it took about 10 years of throwing different gear at them to get them to sound as good as they did in the showroom! I will never fall for that 'they need time to break in' line ever again. Congrats... | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 I have the h360 and used it to drive a pair of salon 2's which it did nicely, but not dynamically and that's a deal breaker for me. When I suggested bi-amping horizontally the crowd' overall said it wouldn't make a difference? My h360 isn't going ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' itsjustme, Thanks for your post. I have the Beethovens mk2 and the Strauss, the strauss use the same drivers as the mahlers with a single 11" eaton woofer I think. Is your Mahler the 1.5? I was surprised when comparing the beethoven to the strauss... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' WOW, Thanks for the replies! I went thru a situation when auditioning amps I found a hegel h360 that the dealer wouldn't budge on. I went in and showed them an online price for a 6 month old unit for $2500 below list and I told them I couldn't jus... | |
