| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? None better than the Proac Response D 2 or Studio SM100, or the ATC SCM20ASL or SCM50ASL.And if you want a real value that performs as well as these - the WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton or Antero (giant killers)! | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. There are 3 which are as good, or better, than anything mentioned above at bargain prices!1. Wavetouch Audio - Grand Teton or Antero. Simply superb sound in all respects. Free home trial. Best value and possibly best sound.2. Proac Response ... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? I’m just an “old fashioned” guy - still think with the right amp, the RS-1s are hard to beat, as well as the HD600’s (with tweeks). | |
| Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber Nothing mentioned above sounds as sweet as this speaker with the Class D Audio SDS 470C amp. I have both, along with a lot of other greats. But this combo sounds as good as it gets! Wavetouch Audio Antero or Grand Teton: http://wavetouchaudio.com/... | |
| Super tweeters, are they worthwile? lak3,559 posts "Super tweeters can enhance the music including the sound stage as you noted in your opening questions. I own the Townsend Super Tweeters and I have found the results very positive however they seem to work better with some speakers... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? So you think my 2 T9i’s (10”), a Velodyne 12”, and a KEF 10” (I think) would work fine? Both the Velodyne and KEF are high quality subs with little use and in like new condition. The Velodyne has a room correction circuit and 4 phase settings -... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Hope so - I really don’t want to have to sell my RELs and get the SWARM system. Though I know Dukes speakers are some of the best sounding available. His Jazz Modules were legendary. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? @shakira “Rel ,the best and easiest way to go.2 t7i”Yes... I hope the t9i is as well. Just bought a pair and haven’t set them up and integrated them yet. I have read some comments that they think the t7i may have a little better detail resolution ... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? So... what are some of the other grounding blocks you all may use, besides the $5,000 Nordost unit??? | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? “Sandpat”What is a “grounding block?”How did you add it?“Adding a grounding block to my subs just perfected the sound even further; tightened everything up and allowed me to hear the clear definition between sub frequencies.“ | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Well - you’ve all given me a lot to think about and experiment with.I do have a couple of REL T9i’s, as well as a Velodyne and a KEF sub. So, I guess I’ll start with the REL suggestions... and... go from there. But, it sounds like I should have ... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? “erik_squires”I guess the method you describe allows for only the sub amp to present the signal for lower frequencies, and allows the use of an external crossover to elevate the frequencies of the mains, if desired. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? “bstatmeister” So - if the subs have their own amplifier, then both the main amp and the sub amp are driving the subs, and you adjust the subs volume down to mate with the volume of the mains, and then the preamp volume control adjusts both volume... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? So... I assume that means only the frequencies allowed to pass from the subs to the mains via the mains amplifier are presented by the mains... and... that the controls on the subs provide the various adjustments of how much and how those frequenc... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? So... if you use an external crossover (other than the one, which may be built in to the sub) - do you insert it after the subs? I guess that location would use the sub controls to adjust the curve of the subs, and the external crossover to adjus... |
