| Speakers that disappear If you buy any $15k speaker and leave it in Harlem, it will disappear! | |
| If money is not a problem Seven Revel Salon 2 speakers in a 7.2 surround setup... Oh wait, that's exactly what I did! Soon to be a 7.3 setup once I find a custom instal Revel Sub 30 floating around somewhere...Spending more money doesn't mean you are getting better quality... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Best preamp /amp/ phono /cable Amp: Do yourself a favor, get something with some heavy duty wattage since the Mini2 sensitivity is fairly low. Unless you plan to color the sound with tubes, you are going to get the most for your money by being able to turn your system up louder... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Are you all done patting each other on the back yet? | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Dgad. I asked about changing the room shape, because I was worried about shared lengths (9' ceiling and one wall is mostly 18'). Richard Bird said he wanted to maintain room volume...I still have to send him more in-room speaker measurements. I se... | |
| Your opinions on what speakers to go with? One word: Bose. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Sorry I got the impression you were ready to explain how to interpret the plots correctly. I already did. You just weren't paying attention... Good luck to you. | |

| Speakers too wide apart? Tboooe, there is one school of speaker placement, though obscure in high end, that places the speakers almost right next to each other and then places a sound absorbing material directly between the two speakers and extends that barrier almost all... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Are you saying they should sound the same given a correct room/setupNope. I didn't say that... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 BTW, in an environment where you are playing and listening to music, there would need to be a 3 dB difference in the response for it to even be just barely noticeable to human hearing. More proof that it is the room coloration and speaker placemen... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 However, the small differences between the two sets of measurements and those of Stereophile appear to match David's reported observations quite well. How do you explain that? Mere coincidence perhaps? I suspect not. It is a coincidence, nothing m... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Here are the Stereophile measurements BTW:http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/308revel/index4.html | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Shadorne,I wouldn't put much faith in those charts unless you have exact information on how they do the measurements... Depending on the measurement methodology, the speakers might measure differently using other methodologies.In any case, the roo... |
