| Digital media server/players for a Skeptic? Oh come now. I can’t be the only one here that thinks spending more than $20 on a USB cable is a waste of money and has some actual technical background to understand why. A lot of the stuff sold in the hi end audio world is comically ridiculous. ... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound I can’t say my defn of a big sound = yours. But I listened to a lot of speakers but decided to take a chance on the sierra 2’s without even hearing them. I listened to harbeths, spendor, rega, focal, dynaudio, golden ear, various others in some no... | |
| Does a sub need to be on the floor? thx all. but I'm betting most of you never lived under a dude with a subwoofer! I did in my last apartment and it is incredibly annoying. Amazing how expensive some of those subs are. | |
| Does a sub need to be on the floor? Under $5K for LRC speakers. Maybe under 3K even. The rest of my setup is to my liking except the receiver which eventually I'll upgrade. (marantz 5009, nad cd player, rega tt)I've been looking at bookshelves like Spendor, PMC, dynaudio, .. I've li... | |
| Does a sub need to be on the floor? Thx all! Neatly all of the speakers I've heard at some good quality dealers have been without subs and sounded fine to me for music. Even medium sized bookshelves with 6" and 7" woofers. I'm just trying to decide between some towers where I def... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Needed Are Ascend Sierra 2 or the Towers on your list? Returns would be easy.I've been eyeing them but have not heard them. I have a similar setup and sound requirement to what you described. | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Yeah. Thx but not interested in subs at all. Sux for neighbors in an apt and usually not necessary w halfway decent mains. Just my opinion. Bache, do you have a showroom/workshop I could hear your speakers? Thx! | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Heard a few more good speakers this weekend. Dynaudio Excite X18, Dynaudio Contour S1.4, Spendor SP3, and Rega RX3 (or maybe Rx5?).I liked the Excite X18 a lot. Not a ton of bass but amazing imaging. The Contour had a lot more bass and almost th... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I really don't know yet. I need to do a lot more listening. Next up for me to go hear are a few PMC's, a Linn bookshelf, and then I'll have to go to another dealer to hear other things like the B&W 805's and Focals again. I live in NYC so t... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Odd - I can't figure out how to PM you. Maybe I don't have enough posts or something? Anyway, I'd be interested in that dealer if you wouldn't mind. wolfereeno @ gmail.Thx!! | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions The PMC twenty 23's are what he wants me to hear next as well as a large stand mounted pmc that I guess is the 22? I'll pm you too.Thanks!! | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I just don't think I'm that adventurous yet. I just can't see buying something I couldn't hear first. It is a cool idea though and I admire the DIY ethos. Although I have come close to just taking the plunge on the ascend towers.I've been shying ... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I didn't care much for any of the low to mid level Golden Ear speakers I heard at Lyric Audio. The Triton 1 was Ok but too expensive and large for me. The Magnapan and Focal 714 were far better sounding for what I was after. Given that the magn... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I'm not a big fan of sub woofer systems. But they do look interesting. Thx | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions That's some review. But they are waaay to big. Thx |
