| Seek non-ported speakers - $700 to $1500 To stop the port-itis in my room! I'd agree that some room treatment is likely the most important thing you can do to reduce the audio gremlins that are bothering you.As to speaker recommendations, I can highly recommend the new DALI Oberon line of speakers, having heard them at R... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @kalaliThanks for the tip. The problem is that this is in my family room and the speakers can really only sit just about where they now are, due to furniture and door opening constraints. As to room treatments, not much of that sort of thing is ... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ m-dbThanks. Well, that's the problem, i.e., my recollection of having heard such speakers goes back over a long time period, even decades, so I'm not actually sure which speakers they were! Hence my request for speaker suggestions. | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ seasdiamondThat makes perfect sense. Except for the fact that I have heard some speakers that are not all that big which do give a lot of slam without subs. Maybe those are not flat speakers, but rather, boosted in the lower mid bass. Maybe ... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ glupsonThanks for the thoughts on speakers vs ear phones. Yes, they are obviously quite different animals. But I have heard some speakers that to some extent replicate the sort of bass attack that I am talking about. Hence my request for sugg... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ yylcYou seem to assume that I am an idiot. Yes, I played the phone to the AVR that is in the system just to check that out, but I also played the actual CD in the Oppo, which is connected via digital coaxial cable to the PS Audio, which is conn... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? Oh, they go deep. It's just the initial "hit" or attack of a kick drum, and the like, that I am questioning. The Signature IIs are sealed, not ported, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. They also have the old poly mid drivers and ... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? I'm using a PS Audio Stellar Gain Pre/DAC into a Krell FPB 400cx power amp. With regard to subs, I've heard smaller speakers than mine produce more of the impact that I'm looking for. Perhaps it's just that my speakers are so old. Actually, the... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? I'm not looking for ear buds or ear phones. Looking for speakers with that nice bassy sound and impact I get with the ear buds. I only use the ear buds when I'm working out. | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? @ d2girlsMy front L/R speakers are Legacy Audio Signature II from the 1990s. | |
| Sources for Focal 1038Be II At these prices, I've been tempted to pick up a set of 1038 Be II, but I keep reading reviews and owner reports that the tweeter on Kanta and Sopra is newer and better, less strident. | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K I agree about checking out the new Kef R7, which looks to be killer in the below $4k price range. Also, if you can find a used set of Dali Rubicon 6 below $4k, I strongly suggest you check them out. | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Yes, at RMAF, I would say that Kenny G-looking dude's Prana stand mount speakers and the JWM(Joshua Miles) Allyson speakers were the best sounding stand mount speakers at the show. | |
| Paradigm Premier. Thoughts If you like Dali, I will say that at RMAF the new $1,400/pair Dali Oberon 7 floor standers wowed a group of us there. We couldn't figure how they got that great bass out of them. The mids and highs were impressive as well. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 @ marrduk24Haven't seen EgglestonWorks Andra mentioned here. Not sure if there is some reason for that. It seems they can be had well under $10k. I read some reviews, which indicate an awesome speaker. I'd be interested in your thoughts. |
