| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Thanks Mapman, I found your comments about the 'flavor' of Triangle and Focal to be accurate. | |
| Focal 1038 BE impressions? recommended to me They are very good speakers for their price but they are not better than the Diablo in terms of transparency and soundstage. Tweeter is really good. Some prefer the 1028 to the 1038 so try that also. | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 Jimmy, what is your experience with the Dynalab internet radio played through the Esoteric K01 DAC? I am looking for the right way to listen to internet radio through my rig. I would also like to listen without switching on the K01 at times. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Focal Scala is the best choice in my opinion (of all the ones I heard). An outstanding speaker! It can also work very well in a smaller room. | |
| Have you heard 'Boy & Bear'? Had a glitch so hope this does not post twice.I would describe their style as alternative light rock/folk. Their recordings have an airy spacious sound with great detail, extension, and dynamics. I also did not think their song 'The Storm' was a s... | |
| Best cable elevators for pc and speaker cables? Puerto,I am impressed!You need a logo, a story, and a glossy brochure. | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Moving speakers closer to the wall to enhance bass often results in a muddy quality and worsens soundstage and effective resolution. It did not work for me in the past. | |
| Will Revel Studio2s fit in a 15'x18'x9' room? I have heard these speakers at a dealer in a smaller room which I guess would be about that size, and they sounded great, with little room effects. I would suggest powerful amps to control bass well and cables which do not enhance the bottom end. ... | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? Sounds very good at the start when cold, just a touch thin and a slightly compressed soundstage. Sounds excellent after about 45 minutes running music at low volume, and then a slight improvement over the next hour or so. I leave all my solid stat... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha I have heard both in the same system and thought the Sasha was significantly superior. Maybe not my particular taste in speakers, but a very good speaker nonetheless. | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 I was not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here. Just stating my methodology for seeking a speaker upgrade. When i test the short list of candidates in my home with my stuff, the truth about whether it is an upgrade worth the cost is revealed. | |
| off axis or tilted speaker placement ? That is more or less what you are supposed to do, if I am understanding you correctly. Keep them away from the side walls as well and point them so a line projected from the centre axis of each speaker meets at a point (eg 10ft) behind your listen... | |
| Speaker grill material, any real difference? Jsd, your search for the expensive option means you have "arrived". You are truly an audiophile, and you made me laugh. Contact the speaker manufacturer for help? | |
| Best cable elevators for pc and speaker cables? Why not move up to seriously high end elevators to really drive your system into orbit. I recently elevated my cables with the very best : Jenga, manufactured by MB. Mine are still burning in so i will reserve my detailed comments for later , but ... | |
| Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology I have had experience with both of these brands in my system and for what it is worth found Cardas to lean towards rich and warm and HT to give a brighter leaner sound. |
