| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? If you're into used (not quite vintage) gear the KEF 107 or 107/2 will load most residential rooms with enough bass to satisfy most bass heads. I'm a jazz fan too, and the 107 renders subs unnecessary. The Kube EQ allows for bass tuning (frequency... | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not @sforrey , since my current speakers have a total of (4) 10" woofers in a band pass loaded configuration, I was concerend about the ability for an open baffle speaker to match the lower frequency output of my KEFs. Honestly, I always felt OB speak... | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not I just caught the "small apartment " in your original post. The M4s might work better in your space...and cheaper to boot. | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not I'm currently evaluating a pair of Spatial Audio M3 Holograms, and while its early for me to write a full review, I will say that I can't stop listening to them. My critcal listening is usually jazz (Jim Hall, Metheny, Gary Burton, Dave Holland, C... | |
| What the heck is up with the audiogon listing photos? If the listing of the site is intended to increase the total number of sales (and the fees that go along with those sales), the intentional downgrading of images hurts the buyer's who are essentially funding the fee structure.From a buyer's perspe... | |
| What the heck is up with the audiogon listing photos? Why not simply raise the price of a base ad and not punish those who, oh I don't know... actaully want to buy gear listed on the site?Great, now I feel like I'm explaining to Nigel Tufnel that he can just make "10" louder. This site is getting har... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks to all for your responses to my question on front wall placement. At 5,000+ posts, its easy to miss some of the earlier discussion. I will keep a close eye on this thread going forward. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've been reading a lot of the posts here and while I'm satisfied with my current (sort of vintage) KEF R107s, the enthusiasm from DI owners has me considering a pair for demo.My question is: With the rear ports, how close to the back wall could o... | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? I remember wording around placement from the rear wall being important due to the pressure levels emitting from the rear port. (at least 2' in my case). The V2 also had an adjustable port (spacer), which I don't believe is available on the V1. Per... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps. Not at all. Just providing balance for the keyboard warriors who attempt to dictate what subject matter is worth talking about. If you want to act like a child in this community, expect to be called out on it. Don't like the subject line? Move on ... | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? I had a pair of the v2 Tantos, and regret having sold them. While I did have the owners manual, it was fairly light on details. Meaning, there was some speaker placement suggestions but not much else. Is is there specific information you need, or ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps. Yeah, another Tekton thread...in the speaker forum. And rather than skipping over it and going about your day, the whiners felt the burning desire to waste their time to enter, offer no relevant information, and complain. Don't like the subject ma... | |
| McIntosh Preamp Congrats luvrockin.Audio Classics is a top notch operation. Their shop filled with so much sweet new and vintage gear, it makes one feel like a kid in a candy store...provided you've got wads of cash to spend. :-). Definitely worth a visit if you ... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @jeffrey75 My room is known for swallowing low frequencies. The footprint is 14’x17’ but the ceiling reaches 17’ for the whole room and is open to the second floor and the rest of the house. (wide open floor plan). I have the ULS-15s set up to the... | |
| McIntosh Preamp Yes, as long as it is a standard (over the air) FM signal. You will not be able to pull in "HD" or digital channels without a separate HD decoder. Some of these decoders are coming packaged with networked audio players, which could provide more fl... |
