| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu @livinon2wheels That's so cool that Evan was able provide a solution for you. I didn't even know that was an option. It's good to see so many here that are happy with their Ohms. It's a great company and with Evan at the helm will continue to be w... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu @ahillenb FWIW, here is my .02. When I got into this hobby 10 years ago, the first two speakers I heard were the Vandersteen 1ci’s and the Ohm Walsh Tall 1000’s. I chose to go with the Vandy’s at that time, and I still have them. But I always had ... | |
| Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review @panhead2 also, what amps are you getting? My humble Belles Aria 75wpc channel amp drives them effortlessly. The two seem to have great sonic synergies. | |
| Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review @panhead2 very interested in hearing your impressions. I sold some GIK panels to a gentleman last week. I invited him upstairs to hear my system. He was floored by what he heard. Also got the impression that his system was considerably more expens... | |
| Streamer apps critical Just came here to say that I agree with the premise of this thread. I’ve owned the Lumin T2 for the last few years. For my system and needs, I think it sounds fantastic. The UI is whole other story. There are entire threads on the Internet dedicat... | |
| Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review @panhead2 If you can, try to get them from a site that accepts returns. I got mine on Amazon and I’m still thrilled with them. I had two Rel subs sitting around and I just set them up. You don’t really need them with these speakers but it adds a l... | |
| Help me pick a new desktop speaker Check out the new Elac Debut 3.0 DB63. I wrote a review on here recently that nobody seemed interested in. I am very happy with these speakers and I've gone through about 20 of them in the last 10 years. | |
| Suggestions for replacement speakers Those Vandy 3A Sigs are gonna be hard to beat. Especially if you can get them for $2k. They retail for around $7k. | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp Another vote for the Vandersteen VLR-CT. I’ve heard them many times at John Rutan’s place, AudioConnection. Those plus a sub or two is all you might ever need. Another to consider is the Vandersteen 1ci. My room is 11 x 13, so similar to yours an... | |
| Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review Thanks @jond. I'm really enjoying them. They seem to be more efficient than the 1ci's and I can probably drive them with my 75watt Belles Aria. This would allow me to sell my Aira Signature Pre and Aria monoblocks. Scaling down to fund other hobbi... | |
| Klipsch RP-600M & Klipsch R-12SW Sub Or Focal JM Lab-Cobalt 806 & Focal JM Lab SW 800 Sub? @tampabaycenter I think the midrange is more fleshed out with the Wharfedale's and the overall presentation leans more toward neutral. I ran them with a Belles Aria 75 watt integrated amp which can had for around $1500 used. I didn't think the W... | |
| Klipsch RP-600M & Klipsch R-12SW Sub Or Focal JM Lab-Cobalt 806 & Focal JM Lab SW 800 Sub? What sound characteristics are you looking for that the Klipsch isn't giving you? The RP600M is a fun speaker albeit somewhat colored in its presentation. In this price range I prefer the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2. I owned both of these speakers and... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update When I first got into audio in 2016 the first two places I went were Audio Connection in Verona, NJ and the Ohm factory in Brooklyn, NY. Ultimately, I chose the Vandersteen 1ci as my first speaker, but the sound of the Ohm 1000's have haunted me e... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Dog piss takes a least 300 hours to break in, | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K +5 or whatever for Legacy. I’ve only heard the Signatures but they were stunning with rock related material. |
