| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? If you are considering used Revel speakers, also consider the F-30 in your price range. I haven't heard the F-12's, but thought the F-30's bettered the similar vintage Paradigm Studio 100's (V2?). The other choices mentioned are worthy of consider... | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? In this price range, I believe the Legacy Whisper XD deserve consideration as well. | |
| Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1 I will interject anywhere I desire and anytime I feel the need, and if this irks you so what. Remember you are just another member, nothing more and nothing less.At least you got one thing right. That is your right as it is mine. Funny you should ... | |
| Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1 If it had been done only one time it would be ironic. When it gets into the double digits it becomes major league whining. Your point has been made. You must be the one feeling that you are doing the Audiogon community a service by saying the same... | |
| Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1 The resident trolls will attempt to skew this advice. Like I said: Do your own research on the unit's performance today. RobRobbob (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread)Some people never learn.12-29-10: James_lipskiCan't live with yo... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles At the latest RMAF, I would say that in the neighborhood of 90 percent of the speakers there were presented with the grills off. This was irregardless of whether they came with a grill or not. There were some exceptions. I have previously owned a ... | |
| New Magico Speaker the Q3 There are several ways to make sure that the threads will not come apart. There is a type of Loctite that WILL NOT come apart unless it is heated. Another method is to physically stake the first thread of each fastener. This is an actual physical ... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? The OP stated it several times, the first of which was in his first post on 12/6. The stated requirement was 500 to 1000 watts, with those greater than 1000 watts to be done later. I am waiting with much anticipation as this current thread has bee... | |
| Im putting together a system and need help I am not too familiar with your preamp choices. If you could find a Classe CP 35 it should be in your budget and should be plenty good to get you by. I have previously owned the Paradigm Servo 15 V1 which would fall well within your budget and is ... | |
| Transmission Line Bass I own or have owned 2 TL systems. Both produce bass of very high caliber IMO. The speakers are the Intuitive Design Summit (no longer own) and the Fried C3/L monitors with Fried D2 subs currently in a second system. Both the C3/L and the D2 are TL... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? One thing to keep in mind is in show conditions, the speakers were not listened to with the same tracks and on the same day. I listened to the Vandersteens on Saturday. I listened for about a half hour. I did not find them overly bright. I think t... | |
| Any Legacy Focus SE owners out there ? How big is your room? I own the SE's. The number I kept hearing from other owners was around the 300 hour mark for break in. Mine took somewhat longer than that (I'm guessing 450-500 hours) to really come into their own. My room at 13.5 x 17.5 x 8... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I attended RMAF and felt the ARC/Vandersteen 7 room was one of the best at the show. Incredibly musical and with no weaknesses that I could hear. One of the few rooms I could have stayed in for hours on end. The only room I clearly liked better wa... | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap If you don't mind buying used, there is a Paradigm Servo 15a with x30 crossover for sale now that would definitely fill the bill. No association with the seller. | |
