| Can back surrounds smear the front image? Pmcneil,Agreed. | |
| Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i Ja2austintx,Funny Afranta mentions Dynaudios because in noting where you are from, I was going to suggest you go take a listen. I believe you still have a good Dynaudio dealer in Austin - I listened to and fell in love with a Rega table/PrimaLuna ... | |
| Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i I also have a 640Cv2 CDP. It is a detail champ with a fairly flat frequency response for the money, but benefits from good synergy with other gear. I listened to my player with some excellent Moon electronics, Dynaudio Contour speakers and Shunyat... | |
| Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i Kinda biggish room - Some alternatives:Quad 21L2 or 22L2Totem Sttaf or Model One SignatureDynaudio 52SE or Audience 72 or 72SEOr keep Epos and...Try Jolida or Naim CDPOrTry some warmer wires - like Radio Shack Auvio ICs | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? To make sure I am understanding you correctly, you are not having this problem with at least some multichannel encoded source material, but are having the problem when listening to 2-channel music with your multichannel system? I do not believe th... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music Thanks Sarcher30. | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music Sanders 10b's look interesting, have you heard them? | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate I have listened to the 1c, 2ce Sig. and the 7's more carefully, the 3A Sig., quatro and 5's briefly. I have liked every pair I have listened to in various systems and listening spaces, and have to say the 7's are a "Statement Audio Product". Peopl... | |
| The Next Step - what would you do? Your A/B/C/D-in-your-home idea is terrific and the best (only?) way to really evaluate gear IMHO.With all I said above, the Thiel CS1.6's are hard to knock, very accurate but a little bass shy. Often however, honesty in music reproduction can get ... | |
| Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume I would also look at the PSB Platinum M2 which can be purchased new for about $1200 right now. | |
| The Next Step - what would you do? I would go with the different speakers. It is not just a matter of efficiency or power. It is a matter of what sounds like "music". The ProAc's and Spender's sound more musical to me than Thiels, and I believe would mate with the Pass electronics ... | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate If you can swing the cost differential, the Vandersteen Quatro Wood has a slightly different profile, but similar delivery to the 3A. The 2ce Signature is also very good and slightly smaller than the 3A. | |
| Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume Given your budget, I might suggest a few other choices:Aerial Acoustics 5BHarbeth HL-P3ES2Joseph Audio RM7XLRefernce 3A DulcetSpender SA1 | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate If size and placement is an issue, you might want to look at PSB Imagine or Synchrony lines as an alternative to B&W for combined music and HT duty. Vandersteen 3As are not ideal given your circumstances as they are relatively big and need roo... | |
| Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume The French have it - in addition to the Titus, I suggest the Focal Chorus 805V or 806V, although I don't recall if their ports fire to the front. I also like the Rega RS1 for this application (which, of course, is not French). |
