| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? What do do you think of the new Rega Planar 6? It’s getting great reviews. I now have a 25 year old original Well Tempered Turntable with a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge. I’m thinking of replacing it with the Rega and either moving the cartridge or ... | |
| Phasing I got the KEF Reference 5 speakers. I was very interested in Vandersteens but there were two issues: there’s only one dealer anywhere near me and he only stocks the lower priced models; and running an electric line for powered speakers would be ... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Thanks everyone. OtherGreg, some questions specifically for you:-Did you love the KEF Reference 5?speakers right out of the box or was there a break in period? If so, how long did it take?-which ports are you using (I know it’s location dependen... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Again, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. In response to some comments/questions:-I heard the Focal Sopra 3s and liked their full bodied sound and am still considering them- but also hoping to hear the KEF Reference 5 in the same price ran... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Thanks everyone. Like many of you, I have to consider the WAF. That’s a problem with the German Physiks. The only Vandersteen dealer within several hundred miles only stocks the Treo CT and below-the speakers which don’t have a powered subwoofer... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Thanks. I listen mostly to classical music-orchestral, solo instrument, chamber and vocal music. Sound level is moderate, similar to a classical concert. I prefer noticeable but balanced bass. The speakers will be a maximum of 32” from the rear... | |
| Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc Interesting to read all the positive comments about Proac. I have 20 plus year old mint condition Response 3.5s with Audio Research electronics. I’ve been shopping for new speakers and have heard the Paradigm Persona 3 and 5, KEF Reference 3, Wi... | |
| KEF and Paradigm Thanks yyz. Have to say I'm skeptical though about reviews in Stereophile and Absolute Sound since they're reviewing their advertisers and almost never publish a negative review of anything. Still interesting to read but not very objective. | |
| KEF and Paradigm Pdwoods and Schubert-have you heard some of the newer KEF models, including the Reference 3 and Reference 5 I'm considering? How do they compare to the ones you so fondly remember? Pd, would new KEFs be a solution for you? | |
| KEF and Paradigm Thanks for the helpful comments. My amp is Audio Research, tubes, about 130 watts/channel. I believe this is enough power for both the KEF Reference 3 and 5. At least one person has told me that the 5 actually doesn't sound as good as the 3-- t... | |
| KEF and Paradigm Still not finding any place to hear the KEF Reference 5 within 350 miles, after many inquiries. If I could hear them and was impressed, I would be willing to spend the extra cost over the Reference 3. Here's what puzzles me. Dealers tell me ther... | |
| KEF and Paradigm Thanks to all for the helpful input. I'm leaning toward the KEF Reference 3 but plan to wait a couple of weeks so I can hear the Ryans and see if anything new is announced at the CES--probably not but it's only two weeks away. Yyz, thanks for th... |
