| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K ATC SCM11s. There's a listing on audiogon currently. | |
| Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre Focal CMS50 | |
| Dynaudio Excite X12 4ohms Reach out to John at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle; they have the entire Entry range. | |
| Dynaudio Excite X12 4ohms The best thing would be to audition any pair of speakers with your actual amp.I like Dynaudio but have to recommend the ATC SCM11s. A bit of a beast to drive cause of the low sensitivity, but a uniquely real, natural sound that is unrivalled at th... | |
| B&W 801N and Bryston match I'm a agree with Chadeffect. Don't care for B&W or Bryston. The two together...all I can say is...you should audition it first. | |
| Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander - These would be my picks from current listings:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/focal-chorus-826v-mokahttp://app.audiogon.com/listings/revel-f-12-concerta-tower--2I agree the Monitor Audio RX series should be on your list, too, especially if they t... | |
| low end floorstander or high end bookshelf? Floorstander AND a sub :) | |
| a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble Overall I think this is a strange ask but I guess the OP is sensitive to treble level, so let me suggest Primare, or an amp with tone controls! | |
| Kimber 8tc or Alpha Goertz MI 3 Hey Last_lemming, I've had the 8TC, MI3 and 12TC all on demo.In my system, I found the 8TC to be most tilted up, the MI3 somewhat in the middle, and the 12TC the most neutral. YMMV cause of amp/speakers/room/taste, obviously. I wouldn't pick the 8... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. Mike60, I've found the results of different coax cables to be very dependent on your gear/system - what are you connecting? And also, what connector types?I have tried all of the following and found the basic Wireworld Starlight 6 to be best in my... | |
| What’s hot in monitors from $2K to $3K in 2012? Totally agree, all fair points.I was just trying to illustrate that between: sub-bass extension, not sounding like crud in the midband and highs, cabinet not absolutely humungous, under $2k ...pick any 2! | |
| What’s hot in monitors from $2K to $3K in 2012? Show me anyone who has a 2-way or 3-way monitor in your price range that can go down flat to 35hz and I'll show you a liar!I think you should be realistic about the bass capabilities here of floorstanders, too. Unless it's got a transmission line ... | |
| bookshelf for classical music under $2000 Can I ask why only bookshelves? Compact floorstanders could give you more bass per dollar, with no need for stands.Also, have you got any acoustic treatment in your room? And have you experimented with speaker placement. Brightness can come from s... | |
| Warm Sounding Speakers No question the "whump" part of a snare drum is lower down.I guess I assumed the OP was referring to the "snap" transients when looking for the "kick". | |
| Warm Sounding Speakers I should think the "snap" of a snaredrum is above sub frequencies, around 1.5-2khz, so I don't see how that would be addressed by having warm speakers on the end of a "sterile" amp that you "probably will never like"!But if you insist on finding t... |
