| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels After two weeks of tests I need to say that such big speakers as JBL 4367 sound excellent even in my small room (13x18x8). Much better than previous B&W 803 Matrix S2. Of course after full acoustic adaptation of the room. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Depends on speakers. I have JBL 4367 in a very small room - about 22 sq.meter - but the sound is great. | |
| JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker! @d2girls It's about 22 square meters. The wall where the speakers are located is ~4 m. | |
| JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker! Finally got my pair yesterday and need to say they sound great! Especially compare to my old B&W 803 Matrix S2. The only problem now is to find correct places for them in a small room) But still imo one of the best choice for less than 8000 USD. | |

| Sony CDP-XA7ES vs CEC TL-1 transport One more thing - I want to replace CEC with a front loading transport. Because after buying a vinyl player there is not much space for a top loading device... | |
| Sony CDP-XA7ES vs CEC TL-1 transport I will try to replace the laser but according to the previous owner the full inspection was done about a year ago... Right now this CEC somitime doesn't ready even original CD. Not talking about disks produced for local Russian market or CD-Rs... | |

| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport One question regarding my purchase. I see some non-factory upgrades on the back panel... What is it?[img]https://content-19.foto.my.mail.ru/mail/alex_bolotnikov/11/s-330.jpg[/img] | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport As a result I chose CEC TL-1. Compare to TEAC VRDS 20 the sound was much better imo. | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport As an option I also consider TEAC VRDS 10 or 20 - they are even cheaper. Don't think that Luxman will work here - they aren't famous for their CD players. | |
| Pream question Well maybe something is wrong with my ears or with my system or with BAT amp... The new DR tubes made the sound better (a crazy price for 35 years old soviet stuff btw...) but still I'm not satisfied. The sound of LS5 is more detailed, more "surro... |
