| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? I thought I should update this thread. I ended up buying demo 3A signatures. They are the previous version of midrange/tweeter drivers, but nonetheless I'm loving these speakers and the paring with my system is great!I will post more details after... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Thanks Johnny, it is not possible that I was above axis but recalling the setup it is likely I was below axis and so that could explain at least part of the lack of tweeter response that I experienced. Irregardless, I have little doubt that they a... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Johnnyb53 The RAAL ribbon in the HT3 showed plenty of air without calling attention to itself, the ribbon in the Triton1 didn't give me anywhere near the same effect. But who knows if I was hearing the Triton's at their best or not... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? I also heard the GoldenEar Triton 1's today, not as long or extensive an audition as the dealer didn't have a USB hookup or an MP3 library (CD only, really?). But I did hear them for a good 20 minutes. They strike me as really nice mid-fi. They di... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Wardl Yes, I agree the HT3's are surely better than the setup I heard but probably the 1038BE's are nonetheless ahead, that is my feeling. How big (small) is your room that the 1.7's won't work?@Johnnyb53 I'm still looking for 5K used which is ty... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Wardl I think both setups were too compromised to make a definitive statement. The HT3s were in a huge room way out from the wall while the 1038BE's were in a room too small for them in my opinion. The HT3's seemed to have more air and a bigger s... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Johnnyb53 Thanks, that all makes perfect sense. It also makes me want to hear the Maggies again though, as what I heard doesn't correlate to your experience.I do have some more datapoint now: today I had the pleasure of hearing the SF Olympica II... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Thanks BugredMachine... power should not be a big issue for me hence my interest in HT3's as opposed to SS8 or newer models that are more efficient but also more expensive. For me the difference between the HT3 and ST was not "slight" but maybe in... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Johnnyb53 Great info, appreciate it - if I see the Triton's at a nearby store I will check them out as well. For the Ohm's and sound staging, is the idea that the soundstage is huge but the exact location of instruments, singer, etc, is "fuzzy" f... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? @Wardl Thanks, that is very helpful! The Thiels were on my radar originally but then I didn't pursue it any further and I have no idea why - maybe I read something discouraging. However, there is a dealer within an hour from me so hopefully I will... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Thanks Soix, will keep those in mind. I'm also wondering if I should check out Ohm Walshes, but I'm not sure if a single driver design will have the speed and resolutions that I crave (my "belief" is no). But they do have a nice try-out policy... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Thanks Wardl. Can you comment more directly on the differences between the 1.7 and HT3's? Are the HT3's in a "different league" compared to the 1.7's? In your room/setup, does the bass have impact when the music calls for it? The used pair I'm loo... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Wardl, that would be awesome! Looking forward to your feedback.JohnnyR, I was not aware of the history so thanks. I'm thinking they won't be under consideration for WAF reasons though.What about Ohm's? Should I be considering them as well? | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Thanks guys, these are helpful comments and information.. keep it coming :)@Audiotomb, your experience with the HT3's sounds promising to me, can you say a bit about the placement in your room, where the image is and what kind of music you listen ... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? They were the 3.7i's. Did they have the tweeters on the outside or inside when you heard them? I could easily believe the setup was a problem - moreover I get the feeling that the room was way too small for such a large speaker. The 1.7's were bet... |
