| 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. | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover I've got a pair of Rel Ti/5's in a 11' x 13' room. I have them placed on the outside of my speakers. I'm currently running a pair of ATC SCM19v2's but occasionally swap in my Maggie .7's. 10 - 12 clicks on both the volume and crossover seem to get... | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? Kef LS50 Meta.I'm not so sure that I didn't get a bad set though. The left speaker sounded like it was breaking up at volume. I've also owned some sacred cows on this forum from smaller manufacturers that shall remain nameless for fear of repris... | |
| ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums I am also a drummer. I’ve been playing for the last 40 years or so. I’m getting fantastic drum sounds with both my Magnepan .7’s and ATC SCM19 v2’s. Running both with a Belles Aria Sig pre and monos. Just amazing mid range with both speakers. | |
| ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums Perhaps an EQ to dial in aspects of sound that you're looking to enhance. The low frequency (bass) range up to around 200Hz or so contains the fundamentals (lowest frequencies) of instruments like kick drum and bass—this range usually affects t... | |

| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers I'm glad someone with a lot more experience and higher post count mentioned it before me (soix), but I have yet to find a speaker that the humble 75W Belles Aria couldn't drive. In fact I demoed the Fritz Carbon 7 with the Belles and it was a grea... |
