| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? OP,I agree, it seems like a very good way to deal with the air, but sometimes it makes no sense to me.The KEF Q series floorstanders for instance seem to me to be a complete engineering disaster. You have two chambers, one on top that holds the u... | |
| ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype?? @shoff - I like that story. Ultimately I have to hear the ELACs for myself, and hopefully that will be some day soon. Until then I keep stumbling onto other entry level options each day, and honestly it’s just so exciting. They seem endless. Every... | |
| ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype?? Part of the reason I am asking these questions is because a friend reached out to me recently and asked for some speaker recommendations for his new mixing setup. He has spent most of his money setting up the new room in his house and can only af... | |
| ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype?? @james_w514 - Not sure I understand you. No Hype? Do you mean that your friend who brought the Uni-fis to the shootout was not embarrassed because his speakers held up well against the much higher priced competition? So you're saying that they... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Thanks Erik,I will definitely look into it, but ultimately I would like an overall change. All of the above mentioned speakers have their own intrigue. I wish, like most of you, that I could try them all. The Revels, Tannoy, B&W, PSB, Monit... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Also worth mentioning are the Tannoy XT6Fs. Just read a review of the new Monitor Audio Silver 200s and the guy reviewing was dead set on buying a pair until he heard the Tannoys, which apparently were out of this world. A few others posted in a... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Erik_Squires - I still have the Warefedales, just plan on launching them soon. I would try the caps. I am fairly good at soldering. What do they do? I'm assuming they are the crossover componant for the tweeters. If so, they play a role in dr... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Lengthy Update:So I bought a pair of Warefedale Diamond 10.7s shortly after creating this thread simply because they were so cheap ($650.00 for the pair) and for the money I couldn't resist trying them out for a bit. I even bought the matching ce... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Again, I don't know much about these Revels. The guy who sells them by me was a real dick about them. I walked in and said I was looking to replace my Monitor Audio Silver 6's and was looking in the $2,000 and under range. He brought me right o... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Has anyone heard the Revel F35 or Fluance Signature? Both very cheap, well made speakers. Can't help but wonder... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? I've always liked the B&W 683. But once you hear those drivers in a proper enclosure (The CM series) you can never go back. I agree with you on the Vandersteens. I have a pair of 2Ci that are incredibly warm and have stunning low end (alway... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? I have never heard of Teckton. I know Revel is supposed to be very good and my local shop claims that the Revel F36 is "The best floorstanding speaker under $2,000.00". I am weary though because I don't know that much about them. | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Sorry mofojo I left that out...Currently have a Marantz 5009 > Pre-outs > Adcom 535ii (Sometimes Adcom 5300)Also have a Teac 301 DAC that I use as a preamp with the Adcoms for those true stereo days. Occasionally use an old Sony E2000ESD as... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Sfall, I Gotta keep it in the $1,500 range right now. I did listen to the PSB Imagine T the other day. I can buy those at about $1,900.00, but they lack the bottem end that I am looking for and if I'm going to be pushing the budget I want to ch... | |
| Got an Adcom 5300 to power my Vandies and MA Silver 6's... Now What? The Schiit products look interesting, especially the SYS, which is a passive preamp. I read in another post that there are a lot of benefits to skipping the preamp stage and just using a potentiometer like the SYS between your DAC and Amp. Thoug... |
