Which bookshelf speakers to choose: Focal Sopra 1 or B&W 805D3 or KEF Ref 1? I had the Ref 3’s for about 8 mths and the Ref 1’s from a friend for two weeks and while did many things well, just didnt do it for me. In that price range you really need to check out the Legacy Calibre an outstanding stand mount that blew me awa... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Yes Bache I’m off the market for awhile, went with Legacy speakers and probably stay with them for at least a couple more years | |
Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models? I’ve received 20% off on all my Mac gear without even having to try hard. With Mac gear holding its value very well and so many paying full retail, the loss is minimal if you want to sell. | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under I do have to agree with you about the Legacy speakers and lack of fatigue. I listened to so many speakers bringing my own music and they gave me that impression during demos and it held up once I brought them home. At CAF they actually spoke to m... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @zephyr24069 Wow that is a really interesting set-up. So you’re just using the Wavelet for the crossover and room correction? And the esoteric stereo amp for the Calibre Tweeters? How is that sounding compared to the Aeris? Again an incredible sys... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @zephyr24069 What did you replace them with? | |
What’s wrong with Diana Krall? I saw her at Caesar’s back in October and similar experience as OP stated. Figured something was wrong as her performance was really off compared to seeing her in the past. But entertainers have a tough time if they aren’t feeling good or having... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @geek101 Wish you luck with the Aeris, wonderful speakers and will most likely be my next upgrade in two years. Doing major home renovations next year so will take a year to recoup and save more funds. @nitewulf They may have been the ones I liste... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @mofojo That’s actually a tough question. If the Magicos were available I wouldn’t have went to CAF and ended my search there. But after spending about 4 hours this evening playing all the vinyl that the Kef Ref 3’s made not enjoyable and the Lega... | |
Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Reading through the posts its funny how we all hear speakers differently. One thing I believe everyone has agreed on was the Charney speakers. Wow they were just so good. Going to be doing some major home remodeling next year and they will look i... | |
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Well finally made my decision after listening to just about everything imaginable. Had the Magico A3’s at the top of my list. Went to listen to them one more time and AB’d against Focal Kanta 2, Focal Sopra 2 and Sonus Faber Olympica iii. The Magi... | |
David Lewis Audio--any customer experiences? He has some smaller rooms as well as larger rooms for listening. Just depends what you are going there to listen to. From my memory going there I believe there are six rooms. | |
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 @fast It’s funny how we all hear things differently. I have the Ref 3’s and actually preferred the MA 300 ii’. Just couldn’t strike a good enough deal with a trade to make it work for me | |
Help with kef r900 issue I would try sending Kef a recording of what the issues are and maybe they can figure out and send you replacement parts with instructions for a DIY fix. Would stink to have to dump a new pair of speakers that are under warranty | |
What speakers work well against a wall Might want to check out Von Schweikert Vortex speakers. Actually made to be just inches from the wall. Three models from around 2500 to 6500 |
