Try to get a home demo of a good subwoofer (or pair thereof). The sub-monitor combo can sound very very good.
Speaker compairson?
Hi all,
I own, and love, a pair of Jmlab MicroUtopias, but I'm considering a trade for a pair of Talon Falcon C's. I am driving my speakers with a KR Audio Antares VA300 putting out 18 beefy watts per channel. The Micro's are by far the best sounding speakers I've ever had in my home system and I'm leery of giving them up, but the Falcon's seem appealing in that they are still monitors, albeit a bit larger, but they are spec'd to go down to 19hz versus 50hz for the Micro's. Now to me that 50hz figure is actually quite a bit lower in my room, I don't really miss any bass, but the idea of speakers that will give me truly full-range bass from a monitor sized enclosure is really appealing. Now obviously I don't want to lose the fabulous midrange and sparkling high frequencies that I have now, so I'm just wodering if anyone out there has compared these two speakers which retail for the same $5K price point. The rest of my system is comprised of a Tube Technology Fusion CD64 cd player, a Herron VTSP1A preamp, Nordost Red Dawn IC's and MIT MH-750 speaker cables. Your advice is much appreciated, especially since an audition of the Talon's would be impossible as they are in Toronto and I'm in DC.
Thanks,
Jon
