| Thiel CS3 Without The EQ 50K or 50 Hz? Quite a difference! I presume you meant the latter. | |
| Out of this speaker rockort, Atlair MBLs put out plenty of bass, though depending on the room they can actually sound a little fat (when they're right, though, they can sound spectacular). You will need a more powerful amplifier than those you listed, though. Set up properly, they c... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? 28 square feet? Like in 4 feet by 7 feet??? Or are you talking about 28 foot wall dimensions? | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers For $1500, delivered, if you have a room big enough for them and can take their size they're a good deal. The original SC IV actually listed for $4,000 a pair, as I recall (my dealer was among the first to carry them, and I remember being surprise... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Given the amount of time, both practice to get and stay as good as they are and performing, that performing artists spend on what they do, my view is that they do have a job and it's a damn hard one. They deserve far more than they're paid (at lea... | |
| Mc Intosh vs other brands I was originally going to make the same comment as Tpreaves, but I didn't want to encourage future threads like this. Looks like it didn't matter. | |
| Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012 I think everyone understood your point. I'm sure that the many who own panel speakers and appreciate their strengths will disagree with your initial premise that a box speaker can ever sound as good as a panel speaker. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Amen to that. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? In addition to the other suggestions, if you can find them, Duntech Sovereigns or Dunlavy SC Vs or VIs could give you that big sound, but I doubt that the Luxman would be up to driving them to best effect in that big a room (especially the Soverei... | |
| Basis 2500, 2800 or Debut - which would you use? I agree with Syntax. All of the Basis tables are extremely well-engineered and built to very tight tolerances, so you really can't go wrong with any of the choices. The Debut's suspension system probably gives it a slight advantage over the 2500 a... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music All the time. Doesn't everyone? | |
| bi-wire vs jumpers What speakers are you using? As pointed out above, some speakers, even though they have dual binding posts, are not really designed to be bi-wired. I recall reading somewhere, for example, that John Dunlavy did not recommend bi-wiring, but he supp... | |
| Which loudspeakers work best close to back wall? If you can find them the Snell A-III speakers were designed for placement close to a wall. As were the Allison Ones. | |
| I've been gifted a pair of Thiel CS2s Newbee and Chuck are right. I had thought your room was larger than it actually is. You are supposed to sit a fair distance from the Thiels for them to sound their best, and while they don't go much below 40Hz in frequency response that's still a ... | |
| I've been gifted a pair of Thiel CS2s When I first got into this hobby, it was listening to a pair of Thiel CS2s. I think they will probably work OK in your room, and I think the Aragon would work fine with them--I heard them with that amp, an NAD 2200 and a Rotel amp. The better the ... |
