| Folded tweeters vs. dome? By folded tweeter do you mean AMT and Ribbon?When done right, a ribbon tweeter is easily better, RAAL’s lineup is arguably the best tweeters on the market.AMT is slightly different, and is what companies like GoldenEar and Emotiva use in their spe... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Because of reputation, looks, and people believing that they have to sound good due to their price.I’ve talked to many people who demoed their lineup, and all said they much prefer the KEF Blades and Revel Salon2/Studio2, and the measurements back... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I’ve talked to people who denied mutliole high end speakers, including ones >$50K, they all said the Blades were the best out of all of them. Only true contender between $10K-$30K is the Salk SoundScape 12. Something like a B&W is the op... | |
| If you like Revel F208, you would love .... KEF Reference 3 Salk SoundScape 10 or Exotica 3. | |
| Amp / Speaker combo ~5k The Sierra towers need the RAAL upgrade, bringing it to ~$2900-$3000. I would say the Sierra’s would image a bit better than the F206’s, and have deeper bass. The F206’s are also $3500. So unless you are getting a discount on either/both, that ... | |
| Syzygy Subwoofers In my opinion, it’s a $500 sub with wireless connectivity and adjustable DSP via an app. For the same price, something like the Rythmik F12 would easily outperform it in sound quality. | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @danimaz: Rythmik is about just as popular as HSU, they are very competitive. Rythmik is partnered with Ascend Acoustics, and Salk not only uses them in some of their towers, but they also take Rythmik’s kits and improve on it with thicker cabinet... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 I can’t speak for the HSU ($860 shipped), but I can tell you how the Rythmik F18 ($1530 shipped) compares. Keep in mind that the E112 is $1900 (not sure if including shipping). The F18 gets louder throughout the entire passband. The F18 maxes out... | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? HSU ULS-15 MK2 or Rythmik F12/F12G.For sure better for the money than REL. | |
| LS-50 Speakers (Passive) I would only get the LS50’s if you plan to also use a subwoofer (or two). They are great speakers, but they only get to 79Hz +/-3dB (ground plane, so some in room boost).The Philharmonic “New Philharmonitor” would be my pick if you won’t be using ... | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? Emotiva makes studio monitors, they know how to make good speakers.The T1’s are good, but I would get the T2’s if you can afford it.They image well and have a decent soundstage, and they are fairly accurate. Direct comparisons were made with their... | |
| Best musical sub to pair with Atohm GT1 SE bookshelf speakers? While true that you can’t listen to it, the Rythmik L12 is probably the best one for your budget. It’s for sure better than the SB-1000, and the T5i is hard pressed to be called a sub, it’s -6dB point is 32Hz, so that’s 35-38Hz using standard F3 p... |
