Is my room big enough for ProAc D38's
Hello Chetiar -Can you let me know some information on how your D15's sound?How do you have them placed, for example side and back walls? the presentation? What you're running them with, you know the usual stuff. :o)I will be on the lookout soon f...

Hey Mrtennis - can the concept be applied to the subject of the thread. a laid back perspective has a non neutral tonal balance?It could be. I guess it could be argued as well if we are talking about where the actual presentation is, then we are g...

I agree with just about all of your comments.However, I believe I have a different viewpoint on "colored".To me it refers to the tonal balance. Meaning a certain frequency range is highlighted, therefore it is "colored".Uncolored = (neutral) tonal...

Hmmm... you make some very valid points Mrtennis.So, I always here reviewers say this component had a front row character, or a mid hall, or a back of the arena.So is the sound colored if the designer of a speaker prefers a mid hall presentation? ...

Hello Ngjockey -So, I have always used that term as non agressive, not highlighting any frequency band, and yes, at times a presentation that was behind the plane of the speakers. In essence similiar to the meaning I always took for "laid back" in...

Hey Atmasphere, I agree with the phrase you wrote."""Hmmmm, I equate 'laid back' with 'relaxed', 'easy', 'non-fatiguing'...""" I would agree as well that it has nothing to do with speed.Though Dynamics...yes. IMO.For me, I was just using the actua...

"incidentally, the connotation of "laid back" is usually, recessed treble response, or artificial depth."I totally agree with that statement."Laid back"... to me, I always took as a reflection of a personality. Not calling attention to oneself, in... 
Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4
Hello Semi, the speakers you mentioned are very expensive, that are most likely way out of the original posters price range. I heard the Sapphire myself driven by MF(I am not touting MF here) and thought they sounded excellent. I have never heard ... 
Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4
Hello all.I auditioned the 718's this past weekend and I was not that impressed to be honest. Now a disclaimer here, :o)I believe alot may have been the room acoustics at the dealership. The room was basically a 12 x 12(with room treatments)with t...

Shoe, yes it is, I am very happy with it and it sounds like you have a really nice system.Spendor, Harbeth would be something you might want to look into. Plus with the Sub you have you needn't worry about the bass response.With the Spendor you ma...

With the possible exception of the B&W line and maybe Epos, check out any speaker made in the UK. As one member posted - Harbeth and ProAc, you could add Stirling and especially Spendor which I mentioned ealier.In speaking with many Dealers by... 
Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara
You know...Just found out yesterday when I went to the only Ref 3A dealer in my area(Florida), and he said that due to the value of the dollar with relation to Canadian, all of the ref 3A products have gone up in price. The price was 3K it is now ...

With respect to a speakers, the Spendors would meet the laid back criteria. 
Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara
:o) Thanks Jaybo.I did listen to the S8e after I bought the S6e about two years ago. I thought that besides the added bass heft and some what larger soundstage, it's basically the same personality - same tweeter, same detail retrieval, same "thick... 
Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara
Mira's are most likely way out of my budget(most of the speakers I listed are pretty much at the same price point new 3k), my room is not very wide 10 feet by about 21 feet long. Though on the right speaker I have another 8 feet or so open for the...
