| 802d3 powered with MC462? I have never heard the MC462 but thought the MC312 sounded great with the 803d3. Seemed like more than enough power for my 80db listening. Very detailed and seemed well balanced. | |
| Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements? The Revel Salon Ultima 2 has near perfect measurements. While they sound good and I like them I have never found them as engaging as some brands that don't measure near as well (wilson, Sonus Faber, etc) | |
| Klipsch Cornwall Equivalent? Fjn04,on your brief listen of the Cornwall IV do they peak your interest or just more hype? | |
| B&W 603 vs Martin Logan 40i ? Not to be an ass hat but neither is the correct answer. There are much better speakers out there. This forum is a good place to start. Buy something used if needed. I realized this type of comment seems harsh and rude but it is meant to help you i... | |
| Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Get the wilson and have a couple of friends over to move them. You could hire a moving company cheap for a quick hour too. The Sophia’s are exactly what you want. highs could be better on the Sophia but will be on another level from the SVS. I ha... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? The truth is subs work best with large speakers. The power band of the hand off from large powerful subs is never right to small speakers imo. I use two subs for my two channel for what it is worth. I will go one step farther and say most large sp... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Interesting on the cables. Once I change my preamp (benchmark) because I thought it was the root of my “harshness” but it turned out to be the CD that was in heavy rotation.... lol live and learn. I think at a certain level it all a lateral move. ... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Samzx12,I am glad you like the Olympica’s. Sonus faber has a winner there. They have really upped their game lately. Do you feel they are more than a lateral move for you?I have not heard the Magico A3 but when they came out I was interested. Good... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? By no means is the Olympica Nova III midrange thin. It is just not colored to be thick. I pointed it out because Sonus Faber’s sound has changed (for the better imo) and they are know for being a relaxed speaker and this one is not. It seemed “nat... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Cal3713,wow! First order crossovers are not kind to drivers. | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening I think you will find the same results from both options you have. Most guys with two channel use the speaker connection because a lot of two channel setups lack the connections needed. To take it to the next level adding and active crossover betw... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Cal3713as in your bottomed out the drivers or just wore them out? | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Ok I can give my perspective. I am a long time Thiel 2.4 owner. I bought them as dealer demos super cheap and only planned to use them as a stepping stone to something better..... well 10 years later I still have them but added two JL E112 subs (t... | |
| Pro Mid field monitors vs audiophile speakers. Powered studio speakers are very good. No real down side just a different way of doing it. Most are tuned to be flat and you might not like the sound. Some have a lot of adjustments which can be nice. I find focal’s monitors to be pretty good and ... | |
| will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume? Once I demoed the Sophia 3 with a musical fidelity A5 (solid state integrated amp) back to back with a $30k AR tube pre and amp (model?). The tube setup lost most of the dynamic bass slam that I found intriguing on the A5. The bass had crazy slam ... |
