| Best bookshelf speakers A small floorstander might do the trick too, but so far none have piqued my interest. Any suggestions? -- Living Voice Auditorium sounds to me like your perfect speaker, but they’re way above your budget new http://www.borderpatrol.net/livingvoic... | |
| Kimber 4TC vs 8TC I don't know your gear but for me, 4TC sounded better than 8TC, which was not at all worth the extra. | |
| Anyone tried Benchmark cables? Yes, it's just bulk Canare cable. | |
| any speakers using all Scanspeak Classic drivers? Troels Gravesen has a 3-way-classic design based on Scanspeak Classic drivers http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/ScanSpeak-3WC-C.htm | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers I'd love to build my own speakers but the big hurdles for me are woodworking and design software and measurement tools. These things run thousands from scratch, no? | |
| Most well rounded LS3/5A-inspired speaker? Speaker designer Jeff Bagby has a modern design called the Continuums based on LS3/5A format. It's available fully assembled from Salk http://www.salksound.com/model.php?model=Bagby%20Continuum or DIY kit from https://meniscusaudio.com/product/con... | |
| Speakers for a small room Just thought of a niche speaker that should mate excellently with your Pass amp cause they're always demo'd with low power tubes - the Living Voice Auditorium series. So musical. 94db sensitivity. Thinking like the OBX-RW and down the range. https... | |
| ATC users Oh hey! I have the SCM20SL Pros and P1, almost identical. P2 is the same amp topology as the P1 just more power. I think the P1 drives the SCM19/20 pretty perfectly as is. I’d get a sub, but probably one with built-in eq, like a JL Audio Fathom. T... | |
| Speakers for a small room No ATCs (not even the SCM7) will give their best with only 30w behind them. You'd want something closer to 90db sensitivity, I'd think. Maybe a slim floorstander would suit. I'd go to take your amp to some dealers and listen to various things with... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Gonna also endorse a 3 way. ATC SCM50 would be on my shortlist, for the legendary SM75 midrange driver. Spendy, though. | |
| New speakers or new amp - your thoughts My vote for room treatment above gear changes. Always! Check out the room kits from GIK Acoustics or similar. A huge amount of what you hear is the room itself, so taming it pays off more per dollar than any other thing you might do. | |
| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 Buying speakers blind is a big, big risk. However, Spendor is combined with Naim quite a lot. I’ve heard Naim Spendor setups and they sound good to me, but without the Naims behind them, I find Spendors boring af tbh. I run ATCs and they also go w... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers This thread is fun, but also nuts. The best advice I can give is go look up local dealers, check out what brands they carry, then make a shortlist and have as many auditions as possible, ideally with your own gear. Speakers are completely subjecti... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Room treatment for reflections is high up the list. Electronically, it would be to increase the resistor value in the tweeter’s high-pass filter on the crossover (e.g. go from a 2ohm resistor to 2.7ohm resistor). This would reduce the level of the... | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K Look into Metrum for the vintage "anti-digital" sound you're looking for, too! |
