| Speaker Help Please: Floorstanders around $1Ok to fill very large space with no sub @mofojo I would. IMHO they look much nicer. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of GE. my current living room is all SuperSats with their SuperSubs. (60s and Xs) My first "real" speakers were their Triton 7s. Then, Triton 2. I demo'd the Reference and ... | |
| Speaker Help Please: Floorstanders around $1Ok to fill very large space with no sub That's a big room. I own the Arendal 1528 Tower 8 10th anniversary editions and can attest to their ability to fill a big space but they aren't for everyone. You need a LOT of power, 450-1000 watts for full range and the are BIG/HEAVY/LARGE. As so... | |
| Goldenear….recent experience and lesson learned @jnc Man, sorry to hear this! I’ve owned GE Triton 7s paired with 2 of their Forcefield 3s and can confirm that plate amps go bad, but each time, GE replaced them. Is it because they no longer sell the Triton 3s? They always offered to fix what w... | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? @faustuss Totally. It's why 99% of the time I stay off forums. I do enjoy helping new people after they get shot down by so called experts who make ridiculous proclamations that disparage their buying decisions. @foggyus91 You're right. | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated @vette5451 I was in a similar situation and started shopping the McIntosh MA352. I really LOVE the look and sound of tubes but wanted a more robust amp stage. The MA352 didn't disappoint! It lists for $8K but I know you can get it up to 25% below ... | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? @foggyus91 99% are made of cheap materials? Ridiculous. Did ASR kick you out of their forums or something? I'm not sure why you insist on making such claims. Genuinely curious. Do you need to be right? Okay, you're right. Concrete is the best mate... | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? I think if we change the word "overrated" to "necessary" we might have a more productive conversation. I own a couple exotic drum sets. One made of multiple plies of maple the other of a single steam bent plank. Each has unique properties that I l... | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? @hiendmmoe I don't know about ALL their speakers, but Focal Stella Utopia EM Evos are made from MDF with laminated outer finishes per The Absolute Sound review. I think you'll find that's the most common with nearly all mass-produced speaker brand... | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? @foggyus91 Was it the cable stand comment or rebuttal to your ridiculous claim of “best”? Spectrum? Great song! Probably sounds better on granite speakers, the way Florence and The Machine intended I’m certain. | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? @foggyus91 Laughable. If you think a speaker cabinet has to be made of GRANITE to be the "best", I have acres of oceanside property for sale in Phoenix that I'll give you a great deal on. Keep enjoying the sound of your cable lifters. My god. | |
| Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated? I'd be willing to bet that most of these "high-end" speakers are not made from solid exotic wood but veneers over HDF. Baltic Birch is good for screw retention but doesn't have as strong dimensional stability. I don't know of that many manufacture... | |
| New to this hobby please help me @wizzard Awesome choice! Those are the ones I demo'd and they were fantastic! Congrats! As far as figuring out room treatments, I like the "stuff of life" concept. That's basically having a "normal" living space. If you clap your hands loudly and ... | |
| New to this hobby please help me @wizzard I’m glad you like them! What color? I’ve had Triton 7s, Triton 2s, still have SuperSat 60s and 3s as well as 4 SuperSub X in my TV room. They are fantastic speakers so fear not. Your SR5011 is more than enough for the T66. It’s only driv... | |
| New to this hobby please help me My $.02. Get the GoldenEars and don't look back. They're that good. They also are very well made and I think the red looks amazing for the price. Your Marantz sr5011 is more than powerful enough as the T66 are fairly efficient speakers at 91 db. ... | |
| which excels at Rock and Roll +1 for the Arendal 1528 series. I went with their Tower 8 10th Anniversary Edition after auditioning the Mofi Sourcepoint 8s, KEF Reference 3 Meta, Perlisten S7t and Wharfedale Elysian 4s. The Arendal's build quality is on another level than 99% o... |
