The Paradigm 9H do not have enough bass? I heard them once but it was low volume on non bass heavy music. I just imagined their bass to be amazing compared to most speakers available.
Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system
I'm thinking about jumping in and going with a Steinway Lyngdorf Model B speaker / amp / controller system. They have the same philosophy towards sound as I have, active, crossover inside the amp, DSP controlled, upgradeable, designed as a complete system, among other things. Does anyone have any listening experience with the Steinway Model B?

@mofojo You would think the 9hs would have a ton of bass the speakers really punch above their weight, hybrid design, beryllium tweeters, with large beryllium mids, and 4 woofers with balanced opposing frames and 2700W peak but in my case no, I bought them new and was always disappointed in the bass, although they have a tone sweep button in them and when I push it the room shakes but I can't get that sound out during music. Oh well. I've never heard better meds and tweeters, the 9hs are the first speaker I've hear that actually use a near field deflector that actually worked, high frequency beryllium tweeters always sounded harsh (Focal) but these didn't, I bought the 9hs assuming the bass would be great I have 4x Bs for my surround sound speakers they are wonderful, I should have simply used those as my main speakers and spent the money somewhere else. @kota1 thanks for the info, Peter L is quite the designer, I have a Lyngdorf 60.2 I think it's there best processor and at 15k$ it 10K less than the Steinway and it seems to do more but it doesn't have the network connectors for the "system" I'm such a sucker for everything working together. I did buy an Naim "class A" am and a Focal Stella headphone setup that I don't like either, thought they would go together since they are the same company. |
@kota1 I think where Peter L is possibly a bit wrong about not having a center channel is that so much dialog is 100% sent to the center and music sounds good with the lead in the center, if you don't have a center channel but only rely on a center image created by L and R you won't hear anything if the mixer sends important parts the the CC. In theory you only need 2 speakers we only have 2 ears.
