| Considering the Rule of Diminishing Returns....... Check out the PSB Silver i's - you can find great deals on the net. The reason I mention them is that a previous poster mentioned the Golds, which I used to own before I bought my Aerials. The Golds are in fact very placement sensitive (very heavy... | |
| Are loudspeakers that different? Thanks folks, appreciate the insight. If I can redirect however, and get your additional input, I should have been more clear perhaps. Since I can not audition speakers I was hoping to do so through anyone willing to offer their experiences - - by... | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W In the event you're near the East coast Mr. Kelly of Aerial is giving a demo of the 20t's in Raleigh, NC at the end of June at Audioadvice. (I just received a mailer; not involved personally...) I wish I had your dilemma! | |
| Am I going insane? I don't normally join in these sorts of discussions when all the good advice has already been given, but I wanted to second P mmk's post about brightness. It may be an assumption of course that the Boston's are brighter in sound than the B&W's... | |
| For organ afficianados For those interested - I just realized I made an error - the review of this CD was not in TAS but in The Audiophile Voice. Sorry for the mix up. | |
| For organ afficianados Tom, I'm jealous! The booklet actually talks about your Aunt a bit. One of my dreams is to some day sit there and play "Come, Sweet Death" a la Virgil Fox in his famous 1939 performance. There is a later recording of it (BTW, that is also availabl... | |
| Speaker Recs for McIntosh and Jupiter Combo? If you're looking for something perhaps temporary, or maybe even long term, when I was buying my McIntosh equipment the dealer hooked up a pair of PSB Stratus Bronze's, the cheapest of the Stratus series, apologizing that that was the best he had ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Verdi's Requiem - the whole thing. | |
| RR Copland CD speaker killer? Thanks again for your informative responses - I am impressed here with your level of interest/help. That been said, I won't dispute Keith's post, but I will repeat (see earlier) that when I plugged in headphones to this recording (back when I had ... | |
| RR Copland CD speaker killer? Interestingly enough, the speakers started making the sound at about 80-85 Dbls - which was the level recorded at the peak of the drum "thwack", 3 ft. away from the left speaker. Any more than that and it got worse quickly... | |
| RR Copland CD speaker killer? Thanks TWL for the informative response - it puts it into perpective for me. But note though that even when connected to my MC300 (300 w/ch) at the 4 ohm tap I still got the same sound (I presume these would clip well beyond where the Rowland woud... | |
| Aerial 6's lighter in the low end than the 7b's... I own the 6's and find them very satisfactory in the bass area; my radio shack SPL meter gives me flat response with the 6's down to about 35 Hz (aside from room interaction - see below). As always with bass, it really depends on your room. Look a... | |
| Bass Response and concrete floors I had a pair of PSB Stratus Gold i's which I used both downstairs (concrete slab w/ carpeting) and upstairs (wood floor with carpeting). Bass downstairs seemed much tighter - punchier even. It was strange, too - downstairs (same room dimensions BT... | |
| Need a speak/amp compatibility opinion....... I own the model 6's and have been quite happy with them. They do need power though - they are not incredibly efficient. One of the best things about them though that most people overlook is the 3 way design. Most comparable loudspeakers (smaller t... | |
| Newbie help with speakers for Mac I owned Mac separates for a while and found a great synergy with B&W matrix line. |
