| Anyone Running Pro Speakers in your "High-End" System? Yeah, the price tag is why they're not in my system today! 😁 | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers When I bought my Altec 19’s, they actually had a pair of the JBL 4430’s as well. They were an order of magnitude higher in price than my 19’s, but they were indeed spectacular! ****My mistake, it was the 4350's they had on hand. | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers Max budget would be under $10K, but preferably in or around the $5K range. I would equally consider new or used. The Altec's were dynamic, punchy and nearly unrestricted in their ability to create a live concert environment. They imaged spectac... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations Actually, I take back my comment about not hearing a single conventional system that came close to delivering what a horn-based system is capable of. A long time ago, I listened to a pair of PMC MB2's, and they were quite spectacular. If they ha... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations By the way, I've listened to a lot of speakers of varying designs, and have yet to come across a system with conventional drivers that can match the sheer excitement and energy of a horn-based system. That includes speakers with ribbon drivers. ... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations I currently have a Parasound Halo P5/A23 combo, a Music Hall MMF-2.2 turntable, and my venerable Rotel 965BX CD Player. I bought the Parasound stuff as a carry-over when I sold my Cary SLI-80, but actually will likely keep the P5/A23. | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations Thanks...I'm 99% sure I listened to the PI speakers a the CES show a long time ago. The designer was a really nice guy. It looks like he's really expanded his lineup. Definitely worth consideration.The Tekton's are more conventional, so I'm not... | |

| In House Manufacturing vs. OEM Sourcing Believe me, I know the challenges of building a DIY speaker system, as I attempted it myself. Had it not been for a substantial amount of outside help, I would have ended up with a gigantic pair of clock radios! I grossly underestimated the engi... | |
| Digital Audio Options The Oppo 103 is interesting...So essentially, it's a do-all unit, playing all types of disks, while also allowing streaming of audio...I assume the integrated DAC is sufficient for high-end signal quality, given advancements in that area...Sounds ... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Altec Model 19's | |
| Revel Concerta2 F36 vs Monitor Audio Silver 10 Throw in the Wharfedale Jade 5 and Focal 826V too! | |
| Revel Concerta2 F36 vs Monitor Audio Silver 10 I'd also be interested in a comparison to the Silver 8 as well. Although Revel has a stellar reputation, there seems to be some common disappointment that the system is now a 2.5-way, rather than a 3-way.I would think with Voecks behind the desig... | |
| Revel Concerta2 F36 vs Monitor Audio Silver 10 Thanks for the great input...I figured I'd get something to tide me over for a couple of years, so I can really search for something that will get me through another 10. I just don't see the need to spend $3K+ on a short term fix, but do want gre... | |
| Cabinet Colors Thanks everyone...The responses are in-line with my personal thinking... |
