| Revel Salon 1 vs Salon 2 A bit surprised there's been so little contribution on this. I bought my S'1 from a gent who was upgrading to the S'2 in a large difficult room and he was gracious enough to invite me over after he got the new system set up. The difference was big... | |
| Hegel H590 List $13,500. Reasonable? I expect after it's been out a bit we'll be able to get them for $10k and the unit will probably sound as good or better than the other sota int's with the biggest exception, Hegel doesn't flash like ML or Mac or Dan D even though it gets you ther... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Do yourself a favor and bring home a Hegel h360 to demo, I was using an anthem int then went to a parasound a21 with a krell class a pre and finally the hegel brought what I call the there factor to my speakers at the time the revel salon1 and si... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range buyers remorse? you buy a pair of $18,500 speakers and then ask for suggestions. sounds like. personally if I can't get expensive gear to try in my own home first i'm not buying it period We stand to lose $10k if the glorious speakers fall flat at... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I've only heard the 3f's from that line with an Anthem front end and I expected them to be bright, even had dealer play diana schuur and they were smooth, but regardless what people say about speaker break in he/dealer said they sounded pretty har... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range I have to agree with above that you'll find quite often speakers will sound more like the room they're in than different. I also, for fun pulled the $22k speakers out and put the 1/3 size 1/5 price beethovens in with my h360 driving them and I was... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range @steve59 Sorry, but no, going off the Stereophile measurements, Vienna Acoustics are terrible for the money, way overpriced, just look at his listening window measurement for their Klimt the Kiss speaker, utterly atrocious, not even $100 speaker... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality to be continued. I believe speakers to be a choice of compromise. | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality I've owned speakers from manufacturers that put the science of music first. Kef in the early 90's made some speakers that measured remarkably flat in room while falling flat on their face playing music, Modern Revel that swear they have a formula ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range I scrolled all the way to the bottom without reading any previous posts,yet. You do understand the rule of diminishing returns in hifi right? $20k isn't going to get you twice as much quality as the a3, persona 3, kanta 2, F2289be. I like that foc... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Accurate measurement should mean the speaker doesn't add or subtract anything from the signal being fed right? so if you have a room that adds or subtracts different fq's speakers that compensate for it will in fact more accurate right? If it's a ... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? can I yes, will I probably not. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers BTW Alon Wolf demo's his A3's with a hegel h30, expensive and hard to find used so I bought an h360 from my 'made in America' dealer' and saved 5 figures for retirement. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers fun thread! I have started several " Best speaker for $10,000" threads and like you got recommendations from 1 extreme to the other and tbh I may still not be done. You can't go wrong with magico. Enjoy the music. | |
| Is there actually a difference? 1 of my local dealers manages to keep a straight face when suggesting output is the only difference between amps is output! Component matching is important and makes a real audible difference and properly matching an amp to speakers will have audi... |
