| High value, giant killer speakers? unfortunately when it is all said and done we tend to get what we pay for more or less. not to say that a $7000 pair of Spendors sounds $6500 better than a $500 pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers - but we usually get better sound for the dollar a... | |

| How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish? I use a spray solution of water and murphy's oil soap, ~ 1/8 cup in a 32oz spray bottle, wiping with a soft plain kitchen sink towel. works great and is very economical. | |
| Spendor D7 The D7s are a brilliant speaker. Transparent and neutral that crosses over the thin line between forgiving and accuracy without being fatiguing! My my only grumble was that they take a very robust (e.g. 200 WPC) amplifier to deliver the best s... | |
| Hana SL vs AT Art 9 FYI the ML is $1200 and has a middling output (.4mv) that might be a less than ideal match for some phono preamps. it also has an aluminum cantilever. hearing it briefly it has a channel imbalance and sounded a little brighter than my preference... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? @gjohns info not valuable without describing the floor your speakers sit on. | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? My old stand mount speakers sounded excellent with high mass (filled) stands spiked through carpet to concrete floor. speaker resting on small high density, low profile clear rubber pads. Floorstanders also sound excellent spiked through to the co... | |
| Harbeth Super HL 5 Plus room size? No issues in your room especially if you listen as close as you described. They can create some bass modes near the wall behind the listening spot in smaller rooms if you are backed up against it. | |
| Floor Standing Speakers That Would Sound Good With the NAD Integrated Amplifier. I had a NAD C356BEE and C272 power amp that was bi-amping a pair of PSB T6 towers- new model equivalent would be PSB X2T. Deep and impactful bass- the bass response on those PSB speakers is incredible and your amp will deliver the goods. Midran... | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 I listened to the one quite a bit- did not care for it. driver incoherence, image shifting and some detectable harshness at volume. The one/R sounded much better, the bass was phenomenal but the midrange was colored, flat and unnatural. they so... | |
| Harbeth vs. Focal - Apples and Oranges... why are you married to the focals? what kind of sound are your after?I heard the 30.2 and they seemed overly smooth with a class A amplifier and vinyl front end. with the right system tuning / cables they are hard to beat for a natural sound. lo... | |
| Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder They are a high quality, popular subwoofer but adding subwoofers to a system can cause disillusionment. | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik i had the ls50s successfully integrated with a single JL Audio D110 subwoofer and the sound was excellent. JL makes high quality sounding subwoofers and the tone of the bass is what they really do well, the tone of the notes is addictive. slam a... | |
| MartinLogan Subwoofers- Don't Overlook Them! noble," I’m fairly certain the exact number of subs considered acceptable in a domestic room is higher for most men than most women" we definitely agree on that point ! I would like to hear the 4-subwoofer swarm system one day, possibly at AXPON... | |
| MartinLogan Subwoofers- Don't Overlook Them! @gochurchgo I have them connected with high level speaker connections, which has sounded better on my particular amplifier than line out connections. Having these connections (like my old JL Audio sub) was one reason that I picked them |
