| Dynaudio Special 40's or Aerial 5T's Thanks for the feedback. Anyone heard both of these monitors? All things being equal I'm leaning toward the Special 40's . . . less money and the gray finish is perfect for the house's decor . . . as in WAF. | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Danoroo. Agree completely with your opinions on both the diamond tweeters and about Fred. Fred is terrific - Usher is lucky to have him as their US distributor. | |
| LSA the gem of a good system Larry,Have owned a number of LSA products including the Statement IA and they're terrific. Don't know if you have any insight into LSA's future? They haven't introduced any new products for quite some time (that I'm aware of) and are, of course, n... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback By way of update the "search" ended yesterday when my new Usher Mini Dancer 2's in walnut finish arrived at the house. They ticked all the boxes and are stunningly beautiful (in my opinion). Not really small that's for sure. Time for some break-in... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers I had both pairs for about a year each. The Signatures were Rosewood and were fine - no issues. My Statements were black ash so no opportunity there. With the new factory direct pricing these speakers have a very high performance to price ratio. T... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers [/quote] The LSA-1 sold for $1300.00 a pair through dealers and now you can buy them Internet Direct in black ash, closed out deal at only $499.00/pr (I don't own them so there is no bias here).[/quote]I've owned both the LSA1 Signatures and State... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? I appreciate these responses as I'm looking for my next pair of speakers. Ohm is definitely on my short list. As buying speakers today is pretty much an act of faith with so few B&M's I've been doing my due diligence in reading as much as I ca... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? Mapman. You appear to be the/a resident "expert" on Ohm Walsh. I mean that in a complimentary way. As I have googled Ohm Walsh, I have come across some rather critical reviews/opinions. Suggestions that the "inside" driver is far from the original... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback Thanks, all. I can certainly relate to the "gone are the days of the great audition" thread. Nowadays, being left with online reviews, personal suggestions, magazines and the like certainly seems to make the search become based upon "faith" as muc... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback Should also mention that I have communicated with John at Van L. Speakerworks. If I sell the Quartets I'd be interested in a custom pair of his floorstanding Silhouettes done in a Quartet (MTM) configuration. | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback Keithtexas,Thanks. The LSA Statements are on the "list". Am also looking at a pair of Essence Electrostatics right now. Am leaning the direction of electrostatics - Essence, Martin-Logan or Janszen. But am investigating others including a pair of ... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback The Gershman speakers have my interest. Can anyone further describe the Sonograms and Avant Garde models? Comparisons to other speakers? Thanks. | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback "In your price range, and given that you don't expect to play your speakers at ear-bleeding levels, you should not limit your choices to small floorstanders."Thanks. My current sub/satellite speakers are phenomenal. I'm specifically looking for fl... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback "I'd say Revel F208's, especially if you like electro stats. I don't consider them small but sure would be nice in a 600 sq ft room."Yes. I'd have to say these are the "leader in the clubhouse." Checks all the boxes. Modern, updated, attractive de... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback Thanks Mapman. You know, I didn't realize Ohm was still around. Don't know why they weren't on my radar. I used to listen to them years ago (early 80's) at a local brick and mortar shop. Always liked "their look" and honestly don't remember a thin... |
