| floor standing speaker for shared wall? (front ported or enclosed tower options) Oops- looking to stay below 1k$. | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) For anyone interested: received the Kestrels and, though they are a pretty unbelievable value, I just don't find them engaging to listen to. After switching over from the Spendor 3/5 the Kestrels sound somewhat more open (or perhaps just less cons... | |
| Acceptable speaker hum from integrated or sign of impending failure? @loomisjohnson Sorry, meant to say that the hum is not coming from the chassis, but the speakers only. Will leave unplugged and see about taking apart tomorrow. @stringreen Unfortunately I am not the original owner and can't imagine that the unit ... | |
| Acceptable speaker hum from integrated or sign of impending failure? @loomisjohnson Would that be true for a hum audible in the connected speakers or within the chassis of the amplifier itself? If the former, then I will certainly give that a go. | |
| Acceptable speaker hum from integrated or sign of impending failure? Update: @mental I have an extension chord that accepts three prong cords but is itself ungrounded/two prong. I ran the receiver through this with no audible change in the hum. Not sure if this means anything but the speaker hum is audible once I s... | |
| Acceptable speaker hum from integrated or sign of impending failure? Thanks so much for the responses:@mental That seems like a very easy fix- will certainly try that first. Do you run through a power strip or GFI of some sort? Not sure if that would make the amp more susceptible to surges or other fluctuations.@st... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) Still awaiting the Kestrels- supposedly arriving tomorrow. In the meantime, I discovered that the SP-1 sounded so completely different form the 3/5s as the woofers are not original. If anyone is interested in hearing a Spendor with a lot more bass... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) I am streaming some material from Spotify Premium as well as playing local lossless files- I can’t tell the difference and never have been able to.I don’t know that I’m going to continue to search for additional suggestions at this point as I alre... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @tweak1 Unfortunately that would be a bit of a drive from up here in Maine, but I appreciate that generous offer. Might consider trying to visit salons in Boston or NYC at some point though it seems a bit disengenous as I would almost certainly le... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @tweak1 I've heard open baffle speakers sound very 'present', but most of what I was seeing were single driver designs that I'm afraid might sound a bit thin relative to other two way designs. I do listen to a mix of music including a lot of acous... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @yogiboy My other concern with the smaller monitors is that they may not have as much air and openness as a cab with larger speakers- just using my current references (S3/5 vs SP1). Sounds like tonally they would be more to my liking but it feels ... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @sfar That's a great thought. I'll certainly be spending significantly more time with the Spendors and Kestrels getting to know them better before making any more purchases. My third option was more future oriented- if I'm not getting exactly what... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) Appreciate all the responses:@loomisjohnson Very excited to hear the Kestrels when they arrive next week. The 3/5 appears to have huge acclaim but, like so many things, its all subjective...@roberjerman & mrdecibel The reason I indicated I was... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @smrex13 Do you feel like the solve the issues I identified with the S3/5 and the SP1? I suppose, at this point, that's how I would best describe what I was looking for- as a compromise between mid-centric/coherent/holographic (S3/5) and engaging/... |
