| Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives Dynaudio has some really great speakers and the fact that they’re pulling up stakes makes me want to go find a pair. I also agree with the suggestions for Sonus Faber and DALI, the epikore 3 I think can be negotiated to a competitive price and wil... | |
| Any Paradigm Persona 7F's in mid-atlantic region? I owned a pair of 7f's and the 8.25 woofers are massive and overbuilt! The dealer wanted me to step up to the 9's because of the built in subs, but I didn't need it. The Persona line are probably as good as we can get at the price, but...They're s... | |
| KEF Blade One (non-meta) vs One Meta vs Blade 2 for large room Also looking forward to your impressions once installation's complete. | |
| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? The last decade my listening room has had the persona 7f, kanta 3, dsp 8000se, salon 2, salon1, usher be20dmd, KEF blade, Yamaha ns5k, KEF r105/3 & r107/2…VA Strauss & Beethoven and I’m sure there’s more. Sometimes different is better some... | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned I live out in the Chicago suburbs and while we no longer have hifi shops in every strip mall, we've got a few. I'd walk into any of the shops after work wearing my day glo tee shirt, hard tat head 'hair' and be treated like i matter. Anyone in sa... | |
| Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music? I was just going to suggest smoking less weed during listening sessions:). Seriously tho' I think it's a compliment to your system. | |
| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? Is playing darts in the dark! Has anyone on this thread brought home a pair of speakers that ended up sounding like they did in the demo that attracted them? I went to axpona again this year, most rooms over used subs to the point of making the de... | |
| the one that got away - how do you handle grief? I've got a few speakers on my bucket list that I ultimately let get away because they're farther away than I'm willing to drive to and then I promise myself Next time! and on it goes. More recently I'm noticing things like component synergy, sizin... | |
| KEF Blade One (non-meta) vs One Meta vs Blade 2 for large room Once I get used to a 'house sound' it becomes the norm for me. My first ambitious speaker purchase was the KEF R105/3 and when I tried to replace them after 25 years use everything I brought in sounded a bit off. Is no surprise I landed on the Bla... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? Bump, damn near 10 years since last post here. I'm curious of the size of listening rooms owners find the R1 so appealing. I've read toe in is critical and pics generally show speakers spaced quite far apart. tia | |
| which speaker is better suited for Rock and Roll I've always pined for SF, but I see their price tag and I hear my dad's voice in my head. I've always compromised to quiet that side of my brain, but if I can ever move my DSP's I'm finally gonna scratch that itch. | |
| What if there were no more new speaker models? There’s plenty of unobtanium out there already. As current pricing goes I can’t either afford or justify buying the new stuff I want until it’s been out about a decade. TBH room treatments by someone who knows what they’re doing would likely serve... | |
| My new speakers Congrats on your new speakers and I hope they continue to satisfy | |
| My new speakers Well, pm me about the Dave, no chord dealers locally and I think the dave would be an upgrade for me. | |
| New JBL Summit models, Makalu, Pumori, and Ama. bump, The Summit line were on display at Azpona 26 and I came in and got to hear the Pumori's playing some Sgt peppers LHCB and I was captivated, def worth looking into. These days $30k usd is average |
