| Small Floor Standers Yeah, go figure. The ML's are semi-transparent and the most expensive pair had the shortest bass cabinet so there you have it! Do K2's come with a grille cloth? Every pic I've seen shows raw drivers which I don't think will pass the test. | |
| Small Floor Standers Yesterday was a success. The in-walls are off the plate and the on-walls she didn't go for. Trouble is, what she liked best were a $5k pair of Martin Logan's which are not an option. The good news is a floor stander and mini are about equally desi... | |
| Small Floor Standers I think it was just a matching thing... the Zeros couldn't go low enough/ the Sunfire couldn't go high enough. | |
| Small Floor Standers Exactly - immediate action required. That's why we're heading out today and missing the first half of the Bear's game. | |
| Small Floor Standers Veroman,I'm taking the wife to look at a few speakers today - small floorstanders and stand mounts. Yesterday she started talking in-walls so the urgency level has been raised... She objects to beefy stands so maybe a floor stander will win after ... | |
| Small Floor Standers Yes, she is Italian and a beauty ;-) My den is exactly what I wanted - THX 2 ultra, plasma, black leather, breuer tables, etc. Ultra modern. And the kitchen has all the Wustoff and Calphalon I want but when it comes to the public areas it's a diff... | |
| Small Floor Standers Haven't given up on floor standers and I agree that small boxes on stands are more likely to get knocked over. It's all about WAF. OTOH, once she sees the Target stands I will want for mini's she might change her mind. She rules the living room wh... | |
| Small Floor Standers Right you are. It's a little like New York that way but when I looked for a Neat retailer Nebraska and West Virginia are my nearest options. Go figure. | |
| Small Floor Standers Thanks for all of the suggestions. From the looks of it, stand mounts may become necessary after all and in any case they will need to be placed close to a wall. I don't know of a place in Chicago that carries Neat or Reference 3A but I have track... | |
| Small Floor Standers Thanks for the detail on the 2. It sounds like a better way to go. It is a nice looking speaker but the pics I've seen so far of the 2 show it with light to medium finishes only. I need either a rosewood type stain (preferred) or else ebony. Light... | |
| Small Floor Standers Good point that the sub won't add fullness, just more low bass. I've only heard Kestrels once but was very impressed by the smoothness and listenability without loss of detail. And the web buzz is still very strong even though they're no longer so... | |
| Small Floor Standers I showed the LSi15's photo to the wife and she was not thrilled. Sine the den has my HT and it is everything I wanted the decor of the LR has been ceded to her. I'll still get her in front of the the LSi's but she wants something the size of the K... | |
| Small Floor Standers I am not sure I'm sold on their looks but they have a pretty cool modern appearance that could grow on me. From the midrange up they sounded smooth as butter. Down below it's hard to judge in a Tweeter; the room and placement have so much to do wi... | |
| Small Floor Standers So today I heard the JM Labs 816 and the Polk LSi15. Although the Polk are larger than my stated criteria I will get another audition at (gasp) Tweeter and if they pass the WAF it's likely I am leaning towards them. They do have nice cabinetry and... | |
| Small Floor Standers I realize that with a 35" or so maximum height my requirements won't be easily met. That's why I asked for ideas from the crowd here whose combined experience is much greater than my own. In the past I've seen some transmission line speakers do we... |
