| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Yeah I guess they are expensive but they seemed like a good buy in their market. The E112 in gloss is $2700 now and a fair enough price comparison. The trade off is the JTRs are ugly beasts lol other subs I looked at: JBL SUB18, $3800 without ... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? They look like a total steal at the current price. I would imagine a line is forming. I think the crossover to the woofer is 120hz so it would almost be like adding a small sub to the source point 8. Might be a waste of money however if someone i... | |
| Martin Logan 13A's with Rel subs? A match? I don’t have time to write a comprehensive review at the time. Below is a pretty good video. I have/own the JTR RS1s and JL E112s mentioned in this video and I pretty much agree with what is said about them The JTR is more detailed and less dam... | |
| Martin Logan 13A's with Rel subs? A match? I would guess they would make it worse. Adding an active or passive highpass and using a really good sub would do the trick. Honestly that might not be rel. I would look at large subs (15” or more). With as low as your speakes go you will really n... | |
| Martin Logan 13A's with Rel subs? A match? I am confused, am I correct in thinking the Logan 13A has room correction in their powered subs and go down to 24hz? I bet they go as low or lower than most of the rels minutes top few models. | |
| Double up on speaker cables It will lower the resistance and not do much else the power will follow the path of least resistance. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati vs. Wilson Sasha V (and perhaps vs. Focal n3) I have alway found wilson to out perform Sonus Faber at the same price points for my tastes. The Wilson just seems more dynamic which is driven from the better bass with better leading edge impact. I have a duel system myself and honestly home... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? Both are a touch bright at the top end. The Sonus Faber has a dip in the upper mids where B&W has a peak. My local shop as both in at one point but not side by side. I walked away thinking both were pretty colored. I would take the comment... | |

| Help with inwall sub amp You could use a crown amp which has a crossover in it. Another option would be in wall subs from SVS that comes with an amp. https://www.svsound.com/products/3000-in-wall-subwoofer | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Hilde45 the Seneca/Hudson are brand new, I just thought it looked interesting. Steve Guttenberg called it the “best sound” of Axpona for what it is worth. That does not mean too much to me but does say that the speaker is more or less designe... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Ampsandsound Seneca is another speakers that falls in this wheel house. Looks nice too. They have gotten good comments from shows but I have not heard much about them, nor hear them. https://ampsandsound.com/products/seneca-2way-speaker | |

| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I can say owning a pair of horns has changed what I feel is important about hifi. The highly dynamic speakers just sound more real, as in less reproduced. I struggle to enjoy my other speakers now. I think the thing to understand with horns is... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Hilde45, your remarks on the Cornwall match my opinions. I demoed them 3 times at different dealers on McIntosh solid state and their 275 tube amp. I find them a bit harsh and wore my ears out but they were cranked (by choice) in all fairness. I ... |
