| Just confused about where to start If you want imaging and clarity without brightness the Elac Uni-Fis could be right up your alley. A subwoofer is about more than visceral bass, it also helps unload a lot of work from the amplifier and can ease positioning issues with the mains (... | |
| Just confused about where to start For $1,500 this is the way I'd go:Speakers: Elac Uni-Fi UB5 (currently on sale for $350 @ Amazon, normally $500/pair, and they'll easily best speakers costing quite a bit more)Amp: Elac Element EA101EQ (currently on sale for $620 @ Amazon)Subwoof... | |
| Comparing Ribbon Tweeters - Golden Ear vs. Ascend Sierra True, but as most AMTs are more square compared to most ribbons being tall and skinny most AMTs are going to have more limited horizontal dispersion than most ribbons, there are, of course, always exceptions. Also true that the room will certainl... | |
| Comparing Ribbon Tweeters - Golden Ear vs. Ascend Sierra True ribbons and AMTs both have strengths and weaknesses. AMTs are easier to scale up in size and can cross over lower than practically sized true ribbons. They can also be very good at handling rather extreme amounts of power. On the downside ... | |
| Car audio of the future .... I drive a car to get places, and some nice music or an audio book is a nice way to pass the time sitting in stop and go traffic on the way to or from work or coasting down the highway with the cruise on. As far as the article in the first post go... | |
| Personas....7F vs 9H Good catch, I was thinking 3F and typed 5F. I was thinking the Persona subs both for matching the finish of the speakers, and for the built-in ARC. If you go with a Pre-Amp or Integrated Amp with bass management and room correction built-in (lik... | |
| Personas....7F vs 9H If you have a pre-amp with sub-outs I wonder if you might not even get better performance for less money doing a pair of Persona Bs or Persona 5Fs combined with a pair of Persona Subs. The Persona Subs have the same ARC correction built in as the... | |
| Sonus Faber Venere discontinued? Don't they still have the Chameleon and Principia lines below the Venere? Their parent company also owns Sumiko subwoofers from what I can tell, and you don't hear much about those, so perhaps adding subs to the Sonus Faber line, which at least h... | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? 213runnin -The Goldenears are engineered in the US and built in China just like the Emotiva speakers. Being built in China isn't necessarily a bad thing if proper quality control is in place, a lot of very nice speakers are manufactured there.As ... | |
| How old are your speakers Main 2 Channel - Infinity Intermezzo 4.1Ts, circa early 2000sHT - Infinity Interlude IL40s, IL36C, Modulus MS-1s, and MSW-1 also early 2000sComputer - Elac Uni-Fi UB5s, a couple of years old | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? If you had $1,000 to spend you could step up to the T2s and get the 8" woofers. I've heard good things about the Emotiva Airmotiv speakers, they seem to offer a lot of bang for the buck. I wasn't very impressed with the Triton 1s when I audition... | |
| KEF and Paradigm I haven't heard the KEFs, but the Paradigm Persona Bs are hands down the best speakers I've ever heard, I imagine the bigger ones are even better. | |
| Ess Company I've been curious about ESS speakers. I know they've been reborn recently, and I'm looking forward to hearing them at AXPONA next month. | |
| Subwoofer Decision I'll admit that the internal crossovers on many subwoofers leave a lot to be desired, but the best solution is to avoid them altogether and get a preamp or integrated amp that has bass management and room correction built-in, something that's woef... | |
| Sonus Faber Olymipca 3 vs Martin Logan Expression ESL 13A Any chance the dealer would let you do an in-home audition? The new ML Expressions have Anthem ARC room correction (which I realize is like saying automatic ATM teller machine) for their bass drivers, so that may help with some room issues. |
