Two bullhorns hooked up to a car battery compared to Bose 901's. Sure rocked!
901's turned on its back make great port-a-potties!

The best speaker you ever heard?
Has anyone here joined the all access buyer club at Elegant Audio Video to get speakers and other gear at dealers cost yet!... http://www.elegantaudiovideo.com/category/aa-buyers-club.benefits/ |
Number one problem with any answer, it depends on the environment you heard it. My first trip to the Munich hifi show I fell in love with all things Infinity. Their display was a 50 ft wall of Quantum 2 and three, QLS, Reference systems. I went to Wilson and heard Alexandria - love at first hearing! Went to Legacy to hear the Focus and sent it home to test, yes bought. I went to an audiophile home, 450 miles away to hear the Coincident and within 5 minutes that was all I needed. So much depends on where you listen. I have since added two big subs to fill in my room. Room is 38 long, 20 wide, and a ceiling going from 9 to 23 feet high. The sound is totally mesmerizing. Always remember the best test will always be your in the end. Good luck |
The very best under $1k is my parameter, as I can't ever afford the very best I've ever heard, which were probably Joseph Audio Pearls. I've found a pair of speakers to hang on to for life. Daber Audio Monitor 2's. Where shall I begin,,, The word AMAZING comes to mind. I had been warming them up for a couple of days, just pushing low volume current through them 24/7,getting them a little broken in and getting my new Rega stuff all good and warm (Rega Brio R and Rega Apollo R) First cut: Adele's "Rolling in the the Deep". Soundstage was first thing i noticed, how the background vox were layered behind her lead Incredible!!! Then the bass presence: obviously not thunderous but on that particular cut the depth and resonance is there while still being ultra-tight; palpable and fantastic. Hard to believe that kind of bass can come out of a monitor so small! I've now changed to a small EL34 tube amp and they are even better. Amazing little speaker, and I see myself having them for life. I believe this speaker is a world beater. They're obviously not for rockers, but they are precise, realistic beyond words, and incredibly articulate. I know of no speaker under $1k that can touch the Monitor 2, and very few under $2k. WOW WOW WOW!!!!" |
