| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns I am a novice entering the audiophile world. This said, I don't know how upgrading and spending so much money on speaker cables can make that much of a difference in sound. I wonder if someone could explain this to me, as I have read several art... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers Since it takes more power to drive bass drivers, I wonder why all speakers are not built with a built in amplifier. If that were the case wouldn't you just need to deliver a pure signal and allow the on board amplifiers to generate the sound? Wo... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I wonder why Magico A3 speakers us a soft tweeter as opposed to using a beryllium tweeter. Vienna Acoustics also does the same, | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I don't understand the attraction of vinyl. Compared to digital, you only hear a fraction of the detail. I also can't believe you can hear any difference between a $500 turn table verses a $20,000 turn table. I thought the difference is in the ... | |
| Back to the drawing board I feel most people do not understand REL's technology. I listened to a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart's at Soundings paired with one REL S3. When he unplugged the S3, I was unable to hear much of a difference. Then he asked me what did I notice... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Try a master set. This will help everything. Also, add a pair REL’s. | |
| Why so many used focals? That’s because they are horrible speakers.Their company moto should be, “where’s the gas’s.” | |
| Yamaha A-S801 - horrible experience Not sure why anyone would purchase a Yamaha. You are better off waiting for a couple of years and then spend $3,000 for something decent. | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I meant to tell you to ditch the Marantz. Need to explore ARCAM or Parsound Halo. | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience You need to listen to a pair of SALK Song3 Encore's. Jim Salk sells direct and as a result is able to afford to use the best drivers he can for a given price range. I heard these at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last October. They sell for $6,0... | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... Can you really hear much difference between speaker cables costing $240 to those costing $1,000 to $5,000? I have read a few articles where they have said spending this kind of money on cables is a waste of money because they were not able to hea... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers I would recommend the SALK Song3 Encore's priced at $6,000. Jim Salk sells direct and can afford to use the best drivers. Incredible sound. They sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers I heard at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest this past O... | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. I have a difficult time believing expensive speaker cables really sound significantly better. I have read articles where they have said they are not worth the money, I feel money is better spent purchasing a better amplifier/receiver and speaker... | |
| beginner seperate system I looked at purchasing the Focal Aria 948's and I kept asking the dealer, "WHERE'S THE BASS." I am sure your subwoofers were able to give the added bass extension they needed. I did like the tweeters and mid drivers, as they were very musical. ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. What do you think of Parasound’s new integrated amplifier? |
