| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... One alternative would be to buy a pair of Focus 110s used. There are four sets listed on Audiogon at this moment. If you get a good price, you can audition them at your leisure and then resell them for about what you paid if they are not to your l... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... No Dynaudio dealer near you? Where are you located? Maybe a member here could help. I am currently listening to a pair Contour 1.3SEs and feel they do rock just fine. Big, full sound from a smallish package. | |
| Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music Let's try this again. Mirage on Audiogon | |
| Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music Here's another excellent choice for your situation and music taste. Mirage OMD5 sold by Vanns, brand new. A subwoofer could always be added later if needed. | |
| Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music The Von Scheikert VR1 is an obvious choice for a used speaker in your price range. And you have to be quick when they show up. A better choice for a small speaker that can sit near a back wall is the Polk Audio LSi7. I have owned both, along with ... | |
| Most significant upgrade I'm not a fan of your speakers so my suggestion would be with the Vandersteen 2CE sigs mentioned above. If you are set with the MLs, I would suggest a matching sub.Next on the list is room treatments. | |
| GIK, Rives, Real Traps If the room is dedicated to audio, which to me means less furnishings, acoustic treatments are a necessity. Do go to AudioCircle and check url=http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?board=73.0]the Acoustic Circle.[/url] Very helpful people there. | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? For WAF I suggest a speaker with a sloped baffle such as Thiel. I have owned three speakers my wife approved of; Thiel 1.5. Thiel 1.6 and Meadowlark Kestrel IIs. She actually once commented on how nice the Thiel 1.6s looked in the living room. I c... | |
| Am I in the minority? I sold my vinyl years ago when I found a cdp I felt bettered the sound. Granted I didn't have a true high end analogue front end, but I wasn't willing to spend the money on it. I grew up with vinyl but lost the appreciation of cueing up a record a... | |
| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? Never heard the 22L2 but I have owned the 21L2 as well as the 12L2. I preferred the 12L2s. Although I'm sure it had to do with room placement. The 21L2 is very short and IMO needs to be raised up on some sort of small stand to sound right. As the ... | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Oops, I see you're the OP Paul. My bad. | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? I was 12, so was Gina. She was playing the guitar and singing at the campfire late at night, just the two of us.I've heard the song 12 million times since then, and have thought of the late night campfire with Gina every single time.And yes, I won... | |
| Magneplanar MG12: good for my room ? The easiest way to publish your room photos and auto cad pic is to create a system page and put them there.As for the MG12s, in a room that size why not opt for a used pair of 1.6s? They are really priced well after the release of the 1.7. | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? For Once In my Life by Stevie Wonder. She was gorgeous, and so much fun to be with. Man, life was simple back then. | |
| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? Here's one. Not exactly audio, but years ago when I was in the Air Force I was bringing a Hewlett Parkard o'scope back to the shop after calibration. The scope was sitting on a foam pad in a box. Unfortunately, the box was not secured and the truc... |
