| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I'm suspecting multiple factors might contribute to what you heard with the Ushers, speaker design, room acoustics maybe combined with tube amplification could result in the sound stage characteristics you describe. Having small front ported speak... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I haven't heard Totems for quite a while but recall loving them for much the same reasons you state when I did.Interesting about the Usher soundstage.

| speakers for classical music "A live orchestra can reach 115db peaks BTW"Is that standing among the musicians in front of the brass and percussion or out in the seats?In that I am a spectator not a musician, my perspective may be different. I usually like to sit back from the... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Shadorne, funny, I owned and used a Zerostat back in the day. It did do what it was advertised to do, but I never found static on vinyl to be such an earth shattering issue for me with my custom and quite proprietary record cleaning technique (see... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Upscale's description is accurate regarding Triangles exceptional speed and imaging which is very "Maggie Like" and best in class, in my opinion. This makes them best in class in my opinion for use at lower listening volumes/SPLs.I would probably ... |
