| Used Sonus Faber vs. New Entry level SF? Thanks Soix and this is very helpful. I came out of the Chameleon audition liking the mids and highs but wondering what I would do about lack of bass definition and punch - it just wasn't there. So they're probably good for classical but not rock ... | |
| speakers with balls Hi Kosst - what Focals do you have? What are your room dimensions? I was also looking at Focals. Thanks | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Hi Drumsgreg - that is interesting you have both VLR and 2CE sig II. I don't have any issues with wife factor since the potential speakers would go in my man cave which is 12 by 20 ft or so. So I could find a used pair of 2 CE sig 2 for under $2,... | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Hi Carmenc - what are the dimensions of your room and do you have the VLRs on the long wall or short wall? | |
| speakers with balls The Emotiva T1s (and presumably T2s) have good reviews and the reviews seem to describe these speakers are real balls/rockers but with the nice AMT tweeter and don't cost a fortune. | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Have you guys (drumsgreg and carmenc) used a sub with the VLRs, or just close to the wall and no sub? I would think the vandy sub would work well but not sure if you need a sub. With the older model VLR, those definitely needed a sub, so just cur... | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Interesting; looks like MusicDirect has the VLRs so with their return policy, if they don't work for my room, I could swap for something else.Do the VLRs have the laid back Vandersteen sound signature? I auditioned the KEF 50s for about 5 minutes ... | |
| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Thanks Jadedavid and Czarivey. I will re-try the short wall - what do you guys use for your short wall treatments? You mentioned a 'wall rug' ? I need to treat the back short wall where the speakers are placed and the short wall from my listening ... | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Do you guys know what the difference is between the 'wood' version and the older VLR? They look totally different. I have a beat on the older version that looks like a box with the stocking around it. Are these any good for the same type of setup?... | |
| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Okay I do appreciate all the suggestions I realize it is a topic that has been discussed before even yesterday was an interesting topic about possibly bipolar or omnidirectional speakers like the ohm Walsh that might be a possibility in my room as... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Interesting on the in-home trial of the S40 - what was your main issue with them when you got them home? Too much bass for a small room? Finicky if near a wall, etc? I did compare the Kef 50s in store vs. Focal 706 and preferred the Focals; seem... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Just a bit more on my setup and I appreciate the advice; it's 100% music 2 channel system, 80% rock/jazz, 20% classical. I don't have enough room to place the speakers on the long wall - it's 12x20 so the speakers will have to go against the short... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Good points made, and just a comment that I tried my PSB towers in this smallish room and the bass tended to overwhelm the room, so the bookshelf idea like the S40s have good bass, but not overwhelming and can be paired with a sub to control bass ... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Ok thank you and yes the full range sound and sound stage from floor stander would be best. So next decision point may be - are the 926 Focal Arias $2,000 better than the 726 chorus floorstanders? I really liked the 706, so the 726 would be the fl... | |
| NAD vs. MF Amp - best match best choice? Ok, thank you and did you mean 'wider' sound or 'whiter' for the MF? A wider soundstage would be priority for me over other criteria. Thanks! |
