| Speaker recommendation for married couple Were the Sonus Fabers & LS50 paired with the same amp? Same room? Same source/music? I wasn't overly impressed by the KEF LS50 either, but their new Reference 1 are rather amazing, if they're in your budget. The R300 or R500 might also be o... | |
| ProAc comparison Having recently purchased the Studio 148, I find myself spending a lot less time reading forums online. Hoping to get a chance to hear them paired with Sugden and/or First Watt later this year. | |
| Axpona audio show. Is it worth seeing(hearing)? My girlfriend and I went last year and had a great time. We did see Second City and a few bands live in the city to keep us sane after hearing female jazz vocalists played in every room. (If they weren't being featured when we entered, then someo... | |
| Best budget integrated choices The Dayens Ampino is under $700 and imho beats any similarly priced/powered NAD. The same distributor also carries the Vista Spark--closer to your initial budget, but less power, and I haven't personally heard it. | |
| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? Hi, I'm currently listening to Aphex Twin on ProAc Studio 148's. They're very detailed, without being bright or harsh & produce quite a large amount of bass considering their size. I can say they easily bested all other speakers I've heard... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? rja, thanks! They're here now. Clarity & emotion are the descriptors that immediately come to mind. | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? The future is in my apartment...Picking up the pair of Studio 148's I demoed back in November, early tomorrow morning. Happy Birthday to me!Kirk | |
| Balancing time for music: Discovery/acquisition vs. listening If I had to choose only one, I'd pick Spotify over Tidal in a heartbeat. It has about 90% of what I search for (Tidal has maybe 66%), and--as long as you use it consistently--its really good at recommending new artists. I'd drop Tidal, but its sti... | |
| Salk VS Monitor Audio I haven't heard the 8, but I own the Silver 2. I heard the Song3 at Axpona last year & feel the Raal ribbon would be a definite improvement over the MA in the treble. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Has anyone tried the Duelund in longer lengths? I need at least 20 feet. Would a double run solve (or cause) any issues? | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I also really like the ProAcs. (It was probably because of sbrownnw's recommendations that I auditioned them in the first place--so thanks!) I listened to the 148s with The Pixies, Stone Roses, Nick Cave & REM among others; I can attest they h... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? ahendler & grannyringIs their a power cord equivalent to the Belden 8402 ICs & Western Electric/Dueland speaker cable? | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? Just noticed there's a Heco Direkt here on Audiogon. I haven't heard it, but it looks the part & has stellar reviews in Europe. | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? FYI, there's some 148s on ebay right now I've been eyeing--but they're a white finish, and my local dealer is just too cool to not want to buy from him.(If its not obvious, I'm not, nor do I know the seller). | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? +1 on the ProAcs. |
