Beolab 5 by B&O
Most people just snob B&o because they see it as a life style kind of company and true, they don't focus only on speakers.These beolabs absolutely need to be positioned away from walls more than you would with most conventional speakers, perio... 
Has anyone auditioned the BeoLab 5 speakers?
In the sake of resurrection:I auditioned the Beolab 5 and I left the store in state of shock, how great these speakers are. Absolutely stunning especially at very high and painful spl they sounded composed and I could not detect much compression &... 
active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise?
Shadorne:Regarding dispersion and beaming problems that normally compromised speakers have, what is your take on a design like Adam Tensor- if you are familiar with them- they don't use dome tweeters-?As a side note, I had my mind set on a Beta, b... 
Active filter for B&W matrix 800
Try http://www.groundsound.com/customer.phpI was going to 'activate' mine, not B&W, but it's too complicated for me. My next speakers will be active for sure. 
Opera Tebaldi
Sorry to bring this thread back from dead, but I am still considering the Tebaldi as a strong contender.Audiomax, in your experience, can a TV be set between these two speakers? And, with all those tweeters do they focus well enough for HT purpose... 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Well, I am reading/looking about the so many great suggestions I am getting from this post. for that i thank you one more time.Still, I found another speaker that aesthetically is not my type, but certainly from what I read it is quite interesting... 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Stanwal, thanks for suggesting the GamuT speakers. I have never seen them before. They do indeed look beautiful and if they sound good too I wouldn't mind them at all. Too bad the S7 is out of my budget 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Do the Salon ii play well at low volume?Thanks 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Thanks Reynolds853,I wouldn't mind auditioning La Folia at all if i can i will. The mahlers I have now are beautiful and I don't want to downgrade in that department. So, i find the Cantons not appealing to me. Obviously aesthetic matters are pure... 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Onhwy61,Thanks for posting. Right now I have an Icepower type amplifier (500w x channel @ 8ohms) and capable of driving my Vienna Mahlers quite well. Your observation on speakers costs and speakers environment in interesting to me. It has been the... 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Thanks for the responses. Audiofreakgeek,Thanks for your suggesting Kef. I forgot to mention them. I owned a pair of Kef 107 too for about and decade. But they lacked terribly at low volume in comparison the the 104s they replaced. ironically the... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
thank you for the invitation, I would have liked it very much, but I am on the opposite side of the country. What can i say again? My system is pretty good overall (30k).. When it came down to cables I never heard any difference. Please note that ... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Ok, cables do sound different to you, how come no one talks aout written proof and measurements? In my system expensive transparent cables were compared to off the shelves once. To me they sounded the same and measured the same. 
How to hookup two REL subs to a single 4bsst?
Eldulcesol,I assume you meant each sub to one amplifier's post...right? That would be stereo. So, what if I twist together the two red wires from both subs to one post, (and so on with yellow and the blacks) would it work for mono sound? Thank you... 
Is two Subs better than One?
Yes I know and agree with you Downunder, I could easily and happily live without a sub. They don't need it, The mahlers are that good! My living room is however cluttered and large, the idea is the add a stentor to augment just and only the last o...
