Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
If someone is saying Treo's are boomy, they haven't heard them.  It's that simple. Spoke with someone this week with the Lyngdorf and Treo CT and he loves them together. If you are looking at a stand mounted speaker, I"m shocked you aren't looking... 
Quatro Wood setup help
Great info guys and thanks.  I know I'm set up properly.  Thi sis why I'm still scared to install the plinth's when they are done, lol.  Richard said no cones, just put on the carpet.  My friend did a ton of testing with all isolation devices and ...

That's a good question.  Jim? 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
yyz, fully understand.  In the past I've used full range speakers in smaller rooms like yours and never felt I was missing anything or that the bass was too much for the room as I listened at lower levels (ti was a second system for me), but I ful...

Quatro Wood setup help
I have a Bosch laser measure that I use.  I assume that's what the D1 does?  I'm thinking of keeping them in the corners as they are now. I had some more depth with the Treo set up that Bob saw, but Johnny does know what he's doing.  I need to get... 
Looking for new speakers
Since you are looking at speakers that cost in the 2500 range (the Triton 3+), you should probably put down the best selling speaker in all of audio, the Vandersteen 2's (latest version is very special).  Set up with the gear you have, you will ha... 
Magicos are chesty
Erick_SquiresI have said this about all the Magico's I've heard other than the M1 I think it was.  I too agree that many are told that this is what music sounds like.   That's really interesting, @cstooner , because when I posted my S1 Mk II revie... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
Arned, I too have heard them many times and that's just the house sound.  Many are into that and it's cool.  Well built for the price. 
Looking for new speakers
I'm with Bob on this.  Of course I am, since he owns my beloved Treo's!!!!!!  :). Bob, I told you how great those things sound compared to what else is in that price range.  Lot's of good choices out there, but I now listen to music all day and ni... 
How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else?
I have enjoyed the few time and phase coherent speakers I've heard over the years. It bothers me when some companies try to make folks think they are, but are not. 
Magicos are chesty
I have said this about all the Magico's I've heard other than the M1 I think it was.  I too agree that many are told that this is what music sounds like.  Thanks to Audioconnection for sharing that track.  I've played that on my Vandy Quatro's and... 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
Jim (Tomic) makes a ton of sense as he always does.  Thank so much for sharing.  I know you have helped me a great deal. 
‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound
Wow, what a thread.  I really am enjoying this.  I agree with much of what is said and disagree with some.  I've become a Vandersteen fan for the sound.  I didn't even like them until I auditioned them about 6 years ago now.  I felt the same way a... 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I have owned the Treo's and now have the Quatro's.  The Treo CT would be great in a room like yours.  They are highly dynamic and easy to drive, especially the way you listen to music.  I didn't feel they were that heavy.  My wife lives the tapere...
