| Focal Kanta No.2 @ozzy Fascinating... And I'm over here with an average size room powering 936's with an amp that cost $1000 to build, getting it's signal from a refurbed 1977 Marantz, in a room treated with carpet squares and bed pad from Walmart and acoustic foa... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Geeze.... This just sounds like every rant I've ever seen from people who heard them in horrible rooms with lousy gear. Sorry guys, but they're way too much like my 936's to sound anything like you describe. And nobody who's heard Focal in the las... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" The two biggest factors in whether a speaker images well are how inert the cabinet is and the space around it. I've seen enough of these threads around begging this question and they tend to get every imaginable reply EXCEPT "your speakers simply ... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" Milpai makes it sound far harder than it really is. I just plunk mine down roughly where the need to be and get them within an inch or so of being equal from the wall. The room isn't at all symmetrical so I don't bother with side wall measurements... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 I don't believe that's what it sounded like because no Focal I've ever heard sounded like that when properly placed. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 I don't believe you. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 The ONLY people who talk about amps as if they're appliances that all perform the same task the same way have never listened to many and most definitely have never built one. The thing that makes the F5 I built special in my system isn't that it w... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Generally any speaker that digs down below 40Hz is considered full range and will suit the demands of the vast majority of music. I don't understand some people's need for overblown bass down to 20Hz. I was listening to Mickey Hart's Planet Drums ... | |
| speakers with balls Uh.... Not even close. Those things don't use line level inputs. Those are low gain, digitally manipulated, speaker level amps, and the measurements make that very clear. Those speakers present a fairly benign load to the amp in the bass region, b... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I really don't think that's it. My F5 is connected to the wall through an 18g power cable I obtained from Good Will for precisely 1 American dollar. Authoritative bass is not a problem. | |
| Ess Company Yep. They're back at it in the L.A. area. They've put together a new line up of exclusively 2-way systems from book shelves to floor standers, including a modern interpretation of that AMT1 called the AMT Limited. I've got a pair of 1975 first gen... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I think I completely agree with Prof. When some of you go off on this "musicality" and "listenability" jazz I just shake my head. I love my music. I want a system that allows me to listen as deeply into the music as my senses will allow. If someth... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I would say it's not related. That's not even a tough load for an AV receiver. Maybe that's the voice of the amp, a lump in the damping factor, or some odd convergence of interactions. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I'm not going to say you NEED good class A amp. I highly recommend them though. I built my amp and tweaked that thing for months until it sounded just the way I wanted. I don't have the best speakers on Earth, nor the best amp, but they're probabl... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Awesome!All of that said, class D and AB amps have nowhere near the headroom most class A amps have. A class AB or D amp's rating is usually a pretty hard limit produced by the limit of the power supply to drive voltage, current, or both. The reas... |
