| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart I have the Focus 220 mated with the Parasound A51 in our theater, which is 13.5W x 20L x 11.5H. The Parasound is 5x250 and the Dyn's appreciate the extra juice this amp delivers. The Focus lineup is great!!! I love them. Oh, I forgot to mention I'... | |
| Help Pair My Dynaudio Speakers The Parasound Halos are the better amps by a wide margin IMHO of the ones you've listed. I often pair the Parsound with Dynaudio's and actually have the A51 mated with 5.1 Focus series setup in studio now. Dyn's LOVE power, so I do not recommend t... | |
| Paradigm S4 Signature Series Speaker owners.... I've owned the S4 as well as the S2. IMO it didn't better the S2 in any way. I was quite surprised by my findings as I had also owned the Studio 40 & 20. In the Studio's I felt the 40 walked all over the 20. To me, the real gem in the Sigs is ... | |
| Dynaudio's new Focus speakers Going from the S3.4 to the Focus 140, you will feel a loss of pressance. The large floorstander will play much lower than the Focus monitor. If you do not use a sub currently, you might find you'll need one with the Focus 140. That's not so much t... | |
| Dynaudio's new Focus speakers I have the Audience, Focus, and Contour monitors in our showroom. I can honestly say I am impressed by the new Focus line in every way. Reminds me of the older Contours, but with a nicer finish.The Focus 140 is equally as good as the now discontin... | |
| Dynaudio 122C Actually, having 5 identical speakers is the most ideal solution you could ask for. Having three A50 or A52 across the front would perform nicely. Placement issues would be my only concern as the 50 or 52 would be taller than the 122c. I suppose y... | |
| Monitors secure on stands Hello, great choice in speakers. The 140 is a great one and is starting to catch on in the market. I hear you on the fixed mounting problem you are up against. Personally, I think all monitors should have threaded inserts to mount to aftermarket s... | |
| replacement for paradigm studio 20 v.3? I've owned both the Studio 20v3 and the Signature S2 in a 14'Wx20'L open ended room. Both are able to play in this room and have no problem filling the room with ear pleasing sound. Here is how I rate the two; I like the Studios, and I loved the S... | |
| has anyone heard onix reference series speakers? I've owned several Onix products over the years including the Ref 1. I've had nothing but good luck with their products and their customer service is great.The Ref 1's are gorgeously finished and sound pretty darn good, too. A little thin in the b... | |
| Paradigm Signature S-2, S-4:Good, bad, indifferent I've owned the S2 and just sold in favor of trading up to S4's. I love the sound and IMO bettered the Studio 20 by a wide margin. Others get caught up on the $$ increase in the Sigs. To my ears I hear a big difference in sound quality and quantity... | |
| Upgrade from Polk Audio LSi9's I would recommend the Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Monitors. It has a similar design as the Polk with the dual 7" mid-bass drivers and a very detailed Seas Millennium tweeter that is one of the best in the business. These will, however, show flaws in ... | |
| Swan California Series - Anyone Know About These?? I never was a big fan of the Diva's, but the new Classic series seems to have improved upon their looks for the better. Not sure of how they sound, I'm sure they are pretty decent.I'm more curious about the California home Theater Series, the F mo... | |
| Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's Well, I went with the Freedom F5, which is much like the Linbrook 1 piece floorstander. Talking with Ty, he said I would get 85% of the sound as the Linbrook at a fraction of the cost. Plus, if I wanted I could always add the Millennium tweeter la... | |
| Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's All good points. I could get away with them being 2' away from the wall on either side, but that's about it. The 1 piece sigs with front ports would probable be best, however, I kinda like the look of the 2 piece system.The RefIII might be what i ... | |
| Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's Thanks for your replies. I like the idea of eliminating my sub with the RefIII's, however, the 4pc Linbrook Sigs look like they would produce a huge tight and fast soundstage.What is the suggested clearence from back and side walls for each? I'm l... |
