| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? I forgot to mention I'm using a NAD c372 as amp and a Sangean hdt20 as the source. Sometimes I'll use Tidal streamed from my phone. This is the same equipment I use with my Tekton Lore and Dynaudio Audience 42. I also have a cheap class t digital ... | |
| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? Ok, I got them to sound better by repositioning them slightly and also by lowering the treble. I still think the tweeter in my Dynaudio 42's sound better, but the 1c no longer sounds etched to me. Does anyone know the thread size on the bottom of... | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations Tekton? I own the Lore's and they are pretty good, 98db. Kind of in your face sound though, from what I hear this is typical for high efficiency designs. | |
| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? I may have to give these speakers some more time to grow on me. Right now, they don't sound as good as my Tekton Lore's in my big room, or as good as my Dynaudio Audience 42's in my small bedroom. The Vandersteens tweeter sounds etched to me, and... | |
| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? I just bought an 8/10 of Vandersteen 1c locally with the original boxes and sound anchor stands for $125.00! My musical taste has matured somewhat since I'm 34 now, but still listen to rock on a regular basis so I'll see how these speakers do f... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? I wanted to add that I recently purchased a used pair of Dynaudio 42's, and to me they sound pretty similiar (from what I remember) to the original cbm-170. I'd say the Ascend has less bass, a brighter tweeter and a more detailed midrange. The 42 ... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander I've personally owned several pairs of speakers, most were bought used off Audiogon, swapmeets or sites like Craigslist/Offer Up. My latest find were a pair of Paradigm Atom v3 for $20.To me I enjoy hearing differen't brands of speakers in my own ... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? llamalip, the original Ascend cbm-170 was suppose to be the ultimate giant killer back in the day. I owned them in 03’-04’ (when I was 18 years old) and felt they were pretty good, but maybe too good for the equipment I had at the time. They did s... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? I wanted to add I agree most psb speakers I’ve heard have been pretty good. The Stratus Mini has been my favorite small speaker for awhile now. It seems like alot of the speaker companies I’ve heard can’t get basic musicality right, which psb doe... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Paradigm Atom v3- I bought a used pair for $20.00 recently and they sound fantastic in my small bedroom. I can't imagine a $200.00 pair of small bookshelves sounding better, even today.I didn't care for Klipsch Heresy of unknown vintage I bought u... | |
| Tekton Lore - anyone upgrade the capacitors? Does anyone know the original capacitor values on the Lore? Mine have been upgraded by the previous, but am not sure if the original values were kept. I checked all over the internet and even emailed Eric, but haven't received a response. | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I forgot to mention that I've read some prefer omni directional speakers like the Ohm Walsh Tall in small rooms. This has something to do with the indirect sound can use the room to better than conventional speakers. I've never heard these though ... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy My room is the same size and have been into this since 2003. I agree maybe a larger 8" two way might be better in regards to frequency response. High efficiency with a tube amp would be even better. I've owned alot of more expensive speakers, but ... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room I own both the Sony MDR-7506 and Sennhesier hd58x, but just use these plugged directly into a cell phone. I'm looking at headphone amps. | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers I've owned several pairs of speakers in a small bedroom since 2003, both floorstanders and standmounts. I currently have a Sangean hdt-20> Appj Miniwatt 2013> Paradigm Atom v3. This is the most musical, least fatiguing system I've ever owned... |
