| Thoughts on my speaker search...kind of long...... I agree about the room acoustics and treatments. I went that route previously, trying to improve my old speakers' performance in my room. It worked to some extent, but ultimately those speakers were not a good fit in my room. I would also say that... | |
| BPT Power Conditioner I found the bigest difference on the video side. I needed to reset all of my set's parameters. Blacks were deeper and the overall PQ was better. In terms of audio, I found the differences to be more subtle with a slightly lower noise floor and sli... | |
| Paradigm Signature S4: Any info please Personally, the Sig 4 were not my cup of tea and I knew it immediately. I was listening to them in comparsion to Linn Espek and JM Lab 927. I prefered the Linn's and JM Labs to the Paradigms.In my opinion, the Paradigm's looked great & did wel... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I will probabaly be using this room for quite a while. I like the idea of going active, albeit it might be overkill for the room. I would also need to use a smaller center, C4a. Since I already know I like the overall sound of the speaker (passive... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I have receive a lot a good advice over the weeks and it is very much appreciated. D_edwards - your advice has been great & I can relate to the comparisons. Our conversation got me thinking & has brougt up some additional questions. Feedba... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I heard the two JM Labs today against two Linn models. Both nice, but different. I could probably live with either, but prefered the JM Labs. The JM Labs seemed more open with more inner detail. The midrange and lower bass was great. The tweeter w... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback The ATCs have really captivated me. I still want to try the 35's in my room, albeit I think the 20's are a better fit. I heard them early in the speaker search & I really want to know this is going to be a speaker that I will want to keep for ... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback Well, I finally heard the Spendors & came away disappointed. Based on reviews & user comments, I thought this would be a good speaker for me. I liked the tonal balanced, but just too soft & polite for my taste. I wanted more air, dynam... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I tried the Dynaudio Contours 1.4 two separate times. Neither time was ideal. The first, they were connected with Adcom gear in a large room and the vocals seem very forward. The second time in a smaller room with Ayre gear it was a nicer presenta... | |
| Bookshelf spkrs revisited -Spendor/Dynaudio/FA thank you for the responses. Based on some feedback I tried 3 different ATC speakers and came away pretty impressed. I also had a chance to hear the Contours again. They sounded much better with different equipment. It was a nice sound, but I thin... | |
| CDP at $1200- 2000 for this system I would suggest either a Cary 303 or Ayre cx-7. They are both really good players with their own virtues.The Cary has a great midrange & bass signature that provides a slightly warmer than neutral presentation. The upper-end is good, but proba... | |
| Von Schweikert vs Meadowlark vs Triangle thank you for the replies. I will look into some of the suggestion as well as look at bookshelf options. (I am not sure how much bass I am willing to give up though.) I will probably also look at Spendor and Totem. | |
| Speakers to replace B&W N804s ????? thanks again for the replies. The focus audio speakers do seem very nice, albeit no local dealer & pricey. I really want to buy locallly so I can try the speakers out in my home. The 804s are probably going. I have spent way too much time twea... | |
| Cary 303/200 vs Cary 306/200 I have owned both and currently have the 306/200. In my opinion, the sound signature is different with the 306 being more detailed and neutral. I found the 303 to be more forgiven with a lusher midrange, but at the expense of a little accuracy. Fo... | |
| comparisons,McCormack upd 1vs lexicon rt-10 Can you provide any comparison on redbook cd playback of the players, i.e. top end, bass signature? Any idea how the McCormack stacks up against a Cary player (303 or 306) or the Ayre CX7 player? thanks |
