| Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S. Is its design competitive with other baffleless speakers? My buddy has a pair of KC IIs in a small apartment and they sound great They're barely 42" tall from the bottom of their bases, without iso devices, which I highly recommend. Having owned Magnepan 3.5Rs and Accoustat 2 + 2s , the KCIIs are a super... | |
| best amp platform/stand under VAC Renaissance 30/30 300b amp? I have owned various cones (including ceramic), Mapleshade Isos (single and double), Walker Audio Brass Cones with nipples, Stillpoints with Risers, none compare to Machina Dynamic HD Springs, which isolate vibrations in all 3 dimensions, AND the... | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers Having owned Accoustat 2 + 2s and Magnepan 3.5Rs (both of which I consider room dividers) and.having been involved with Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams (I avd their $10K introductory speaker), as well as the early prototypes of Scaena Loudspeaker... | |
| First Foray into XLR The first thing to be skeptical of is manufacturers who install XLR I/Os, but their component/s ae not balanced internally. How is one to tell anything in tht case? Reviewers who are tasked with reviewing actual XLR kit seldom have differentially ... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? Here's a hot tip that I learned the hard way: the ideal shipping choice is for the BUYER to provide a pickup slip. Why, you ask?In case of damage or loss, ONLY the SHIPPER is responsible to deal with the insurance side. Now, imagine that the selle... | |
| Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S. Is its design competitive with other baffleless speakers? As I read further into the review, I agree with the additional complexity of DSP: the KC11s are passive, and do not require \ biamping (but you can if you desire).FYI, I find speakers, especially baffless ones, sound best with zero toe in | |
| Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S. Is its design competitive with other baffleless speakers? Haven't heard of them.Their concentric driver looks identical to the one used in my Emerald Physics KC IIs (AA/USAudiomart), which I am selling only because I am moving up in their line to 3.0s. Mine have a WireWorld XO upgrade ($4500) | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Emerald Physics top of the line is ~ $10KI have been enjoying KC IIs with upgraded internal wiring from WireWorldMSRP is $2500 + $500 wire upgrade. My room is 17 x 34. I supplement with 2 SVS powered subs, but the larger series has both 12 and 15 ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? and how is one assured of that? | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Reading back through, I have a couple comments1. I believe NPass is speaking to a perfect electronic interface world, which would necessitate building ones system around a PP, as opposed to trying to insert one into a active preamp system2.. A qua... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! I can't speak to the 30.7s, which should be awesome, but my love affair with maggies ended when I owned 3.5Rs for a few frustrating years. In my large room I had to add subs. I used a 4 channel amp 2 for the ribbons, 2 for the bass panels. I bough... | |

| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Kudos playmoreOP, Recently I went on an in depth search to replace my Parasound P 5 preamp(MSRP $1095). Aside from fitting my budget, the 2 main reasons were; it has separate XLR E/O circuitry, and a separate bass control circuit, which I was hop... | |
| Emerald Physics: Ultimate Bang for the Buck? Price is per pair. I did a review of mine on AA.Shows ar the worst place to demo , and, many mfgs are poor set up men | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Was it Einstein who said, "Things should be as simple as possible, but no simpler"? If a passive has a buffer stage, is it still a passive? |
