| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Kosst, I'm confused. You laud the 936 for reaching down into the 30s with authority, yet most reviews I've read of other Focal speakers even up to the Sopra No 2 seem to indicate a bottom end without a lot of authority. So, now I'm wondering wha... | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Those all look like top flight choices to me. I'm researching also the Canton Vento 890.2, which can be had brand new for less than $3k. | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson Interestingly, three sets of Boenicke speakers turn up on Agon today. | |
| Pass X150 vs Krell FPB 200 I use a Krell FPB 400cx and there is just something about that class A sound. I'm not sure if the FPB 200 is class A. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Mike, FYI and IMO, just be aware that some of why that 1975 demo sounded so good could be related to the electronics used and not just the speakers. If the dude was driving the speakers with quality tube electronics, that could account for how gr... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Just FYI, Capital Audiofest is coming up in DC on November 2,3, and 4. http://capitalaudiofest.com/ | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Well, yes, you might as well take a listen to Revel F228Be, Focal Kanta N2, and Legacy Audio Focus SE. Legacy has some dealers in VA. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho @audiotroyBut Dave, saying that a speaker has a ~40% mark up is not the same as saying a dealer has this or that profit margin. He didn't say anything about a dealers "getting rich" or not, nor did he say anything about overall profit margin or i... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Dave, I don't think audioman58 said what you apparently think he said. | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 Based on what I heard at AXPONA, you'd do well to save up a bit more and go for a Mark Levinson 585 integrated. Used units are getting down to the ~$6,500 range. Just, wow! | |
| Tube amp/integrated with bass grip for Aerial 7Ts Head over to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest next month and listen to the Raven Audio tube amps powering the Legacy Audio speakers! Dave of Raven Audio will take care of you. Take a look at and listen to the Reflection integrated amp! | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not Revel Concerta2 F36? There are two used sets of them here on Agon. | |
| Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3 I don't see how people can enjoy speakers that they know perfectly well are "coloring" the sound, which by definition means they are not hearing what is on the recording. Seems like it would be too much cognitive dissonance. | |
| $20k speakers that really impressed you Lol, they’re not $20k, but the new Revel F228Be that I heard at AXPONA impressed the heck out out of me! I think used sets can now be found around $7k. I recently was able to audition a set of Rockport Aquila in Houston, which I think originally... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho @ rhale64Lol, if the price is right, maybe I'll take the 228s off your hands! And when you get tired of your 3Fs..... |
