| Blown Mid Driver The foam surrounds shouldn’t cost more than $20 delivered. I replaced the foam on a pair of 6” mids without any drama and there was no voice coil rubbing, just don’t lay them at an angle while the glue is drying and if 1 of them rotted I would exp... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Overall I would say the sound was much better this year. I think the previous attendants learned their lesson last year and really stepped it up. I loved those big a$$ horns and gave myself a chuckle at the thought of using 5 of them in a surround... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Got to hear the kef muon at the show, it looked like they were using Hegel H30’s to drive them. Sounded great and I wanted to stick around for the a-b to hear how close the domestic model came to the world class sound | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2 My h360 is a terrific match for revels sometimes slightly dry mid range but my Hegel would get a little too warm driving the salon2s. I made an offer for a used h30 because besides my experience others have had great success with a single h30 swit... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers I think i'm going to disagree on the base that there's about a million loudspeaker manufacturers out there and the path has been paved as to their audible value in a sound system while there's still a pretty large group that believe all amps sound... | |
| Focal Kanta 2 For the $2k difference I would look at the kanta 3’s unless the room is smaller. I put the kanta 3 up against my usher be-20dmd’s and with the $6k advantage the ushers ate them alive in their bass output but the mids and treble were a different st... | |
| Paradigm Persona series It needs to be stressed more. I have a couple dealers I use, (kinda like the old days,sniff) don't anyone to know how bad the addiction is. One of the dealers is very clear about component matching and has no qualms about telling me when i'm in th... | |

| Paradigm Persona series That should be the standard! | |
| Paradigm Persona series AT I was mimicking the point you made. That it can take years to get the best out of a pair of speakers. I was making my own point that I find it unacceptable that a high end pair of speakers is a black hole that needs years of tweaking to get the... | |
| Paradigm Persona series So what have been the most cost effective speakers to extract their best out of? The better the speaker the higher the ceiling right. If that’s true then active speakers would be the safe bet for someone on a budget. Is the ls50 active better soun... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Always wanted to know what the Meridian DSP8000’s sounded like and thanks to audiogon and places like it I’ve been able to bring home several of my dream speakers and tbh some don’t live up to the imagination because of room integration or wrong e... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? 6 months since your last update, did you settle on a pair of speakers? Personally been trying to upgrade from a 15 year old pair of speakers for about 5 years now really gave me an appreciation and understanding for the law of diminishing returns! | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? First time I took a hit off a joint baba o'riley was playing on a tabletop radio and i've been chasing that sound ever since. | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? revel f52. |
