| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud For under 3k kef 201/2 or paradigm s4v.2. Had both, like both quite a bit. Currently have the Paradigm. I would say the Paradigm sounds more like a floor stander and better if your collection includes any rock or metal and may not be as picky with... | |
| $1600. preamp Exciting | |
| $1600. preamp I second the Jolida fusion pre. It's got a powerful exiting but smooth sound. iMO. Thinkin about the upgrade but not sure I need to. | |
| Odyssey stratosphere extreme bias Yes I know should be Stratos. Autocorrect can go to hell!! | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. I used to own the Sphinx v.1 as well. I thought it was just ok. I liked the pre section a lot more than the power section. Found a 3 year old Odyssey Stratos Extreme off ebay for $800 and a used Jolida Fusion preamp for another $800. To put it pol... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions In a small room Merlin Tsm are the best I have had. | |
| Is my room going to suck Update. Moved my gear into the basement. My merlins sound amazing down there. I'm glad they didn't sell when i had them posted. I have some oc703 panels hung around and a little bit of carpet I found. Next step is building some corner bass traps, ... | |
| Can the KEF LS50 rock? imo speakers are genre biased to some extent. Imo if the op was not thinking of classical or jazz by the term rocking out but with rock music I would say they are not too impressive with this style of music. | |
| Is my room going to suck got the descent headphone amp thing goin but can't really get into it unless I'm at work. I have 3 sets of good speakers that I am going to try out down there, winner take all. Losers get sold. No more purchases for a while. ;-) | |
| Can the KEF LS50 rock? I heard them with rock at a dealer. Acoustic rock sounded pretty good. Electric rock not so much. Heavy Metal sounded jangly and thin. Every Dynaudio monitor I have heard has done well with rock. IMO Merlin TSMs do very well for any kind of music ... | |
| Is my room going to suck Thanks for the suggestions. Never thought about the long wall but I will try that also. Hopefully I'll get some time to get it all put together in the next couple weeks. Figured I will start with laying just a big carpet remnant on the floor and h... | |
| KEF Reference 1 any owners? I used to own the predesecor the 201/2. It is a wonderful sounding speaker but is very ruthless imo to poor recordings because of its high resolution. It can be warm or bright depending on the recording. From what I have read the ref 1 is the same... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Cooper52, I happen to have a very nice pair of Merlin TSM mmm on Audiogon right now. They are wonderful speakers and priced right if you are interested. Only reason I am parting with them is my wife decided I'm back in the big room since it is wal... | |
| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. I've owned bookshelf speakers from Dynaudio Focus 140, KEF 201/2, Paradigm S2/S4, Usher Be718, and others I am not thinking of. Some used newer version TSMs for around $1,500 is about as close to state of the art you are going to get from 50hz up ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Golden Ear Triton 1 is IMO an excellent metal speaker. Great mid and lower bass. Not fatiguing at all and fast enough to keep up. Robust sounding. Even though fairly efficient you will want an amp with some balls for metal. I played a lot of Opeth... |
