| Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000 re: martin-logans, i like their cls, but no bass, & they don't get loud. i also like their top-line stuff (but haven't heard their latest $10k prodigy). i really don't care at *all* for their other products - cheap woofers=n-crossovers, & ... | |
| My ProAc R2.5's too big, need alternativ keep the 2.5's. alternatively, the 1.5's are also excellent, but don't do it until you give the 2.5's a shot. my brother-in-law has 2.5's in a 14'x16' room & they're awesome! he's got 1.5's in a smaller room... re: monitors, (like the proac 1s... | |
| Opinions on Newform Research Speakers yer rite, but i'm gonna make that leap of faith - the email & fone conversations i've had w/john meywr, the owner, have convinced me. i'm saving up as we speak, hope to have 'em (the nhb645's, as i have a pair of vmps larger subs), in a couple... | |
| Montana speakers? for a *do-all* speaker system that requires a large room, but not a large outlay for the speaker system itself, try a pair of vmps larger subs, a good electronic x-over (i think the marchand line-ip is a *steal* at their prices), and a pair of new... | |
| Entry into tubes Tm12, the *quantity* of the bass is ok - not as good as i've heard, but it's ok. it would be acceptable, but the *texture* is also lacking - not as tonal, more like hi-fi than the real thing. two albums come to mind where this is really noticeable... | |
| Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier? here's an set-tube-amp www that gives links for speakers they say work well w/'em: http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/fitzgerald/732/set.html also, i've heard interesting things about hedlund horns, built w/lowther drivers: http://www.enteract.com/~tro... | |
| In search of........Reception revox b261 (excellent sound, even tho digital, & it's tunable in 0.125 increments), onix 0a21 (will cost more w/soap p/s), magnum ft101a, older accuphase's, sansui tu-x1 or tu-9900. don't forget your roof-mounted antenna from antenna performan... | |
| Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier? hi trelja; haven't heard the edgarhorns, so i can't pass direct judgment; however i have heard from others that they are very coloured. the avantgarde duos i heard sounded like music, even when driven by a 1.5wpc flea-amp. this was a couple years ... | |
| Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier? avantgarde acoustics - uno's, duo's, or trios, depending upon the size of your room/budget. or, jadis eurythmies, which require room & budget size of the trios. | |
| Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000 hey, aren't monks supposed to be poor? and un-married? ;~) look into newform research nhb645's or r645's- uglier than the maggies, but much narrower, & easier to place. these are ribbons, sothat should make you happy. check their www, & ch... | |
| Entry into tubes charlie (& Tm12), 1st of all, my comments regarding trying rogue stuff are directed at someone who specifically mentions that bass response is important, & that they want to use maggies, which are a hard load to drive, especially in the ba... | |
| $2500 in speaker Questions give john meyer at newform research a call, especially if ya like the sound of the martin-logan's. he can set you up w/a nice, easy-to-place (compared to the m-l's!) pair of ribbon speakers for $2300, or even less, depending on which model. see th... | |
| Entry into tubes dunno how well the rogue will do regarding bass - i am the new owner of a rogue 99 preamp, tweeked by rogue, & the only thing that makes it listenable in the bass range is the addition of n.o.s. ge 6sn7 tubes - and this is w/a pair of adcom gf... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers one of the nicest sounds i've heard came from an oldeer pair of duo's, (w/their earlier *217* subs, not the latest-n-greatest 222's). still, a phenomenal sound, being driven by some home-brew 1.5wpc set tub amps. i've seen the older version duos a... | |
| Best small 2-way floorstander? re: subs, i would consider vmps - even w/a separate amp & outboard x-over (tho you can use a cheap passive x-over), you can get a *two*-sub set-up (the *only* way to properly integrate a sub system into an audio set-up, imho) for less money th... |
