| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. I think the OP is considering purchasing a 2nd center to match his existing one and using them as a stereo pair. If it's a second system I'd certainly take the chance of it sounding pretty dang great.When I was speaker shopping with my father-in-l... | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. A couple of inches I would guess. | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. I have mine big end down, I wouldn't have guessed it would be possible to do it any other way.I've only had two people come over to see if they could hear a difference and one heard no difference and his girlfriend thought she could hear some diff... | |
| Integra 40.2 or Marantz SR6005? Since nobody else has answered your question. I don't know that either one is significantly better than the other. The Integra is rated for 4 ohm performance and I would guess the Marantz is as well, but I didn't see it listed in the product specs... | |
| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. I guess I'm confused. Why do you need another other than the 826v speakers that you already have? I've only heard them once for a few minutes, but they should be somewhere between the 816v and 836v speakers that I've heard quite a bit. Difficult t... | |
| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. I think some people refer to them a LCR (Left Center Right) speakers and I had a salesman tell me that they can work great in some situations. The low frequency point listed on Focal's website indicates they are only 3Hz higher than the 806v books... | |
| DTS Master Audio how to wire?? It's possible that you have a setting wrong in either the receiver or blu-ray player.The lossless audio formats can be passed via HDMI to a receiver that has the capability to decode the signal.The only other option, that I know of for sure, is to... | |
| Opinions - The Absolute Sound Tvad - Thanks for the good wishes. Obviously, the cost isn't an issue, but there' no point in having another useless thing show up in the mailbox once a month.I was interested to know if it was a respected magazine overall.$14.95 would get me anot... | |
| Opinions - The Absolute Sound Tvad - Before the mailing arrived I'd never heard of The Absolute Sound. I'm just interested to know if it's a decent magazine or if I'd be better off choosing another one or staying where I'm at with zero subscriptions. It's not expensive, but st... | |
| Location of surround speakers for music Many SACDs have a specific setup for the speakers detailed in the included booklets. It is generally based on 5 identical channels at specific angles. This is different that what is generally recommended for home theater. | |
| Quality Red book CD My favorite Redbook CD is Legends with James Gallway and Phil Coulter. Ever song is great listening and I don't think the recording could be any better. It may simply be the best CD or SACD that I own. | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard What lead you to purchase these speakers? I would hope you heard them at least once before making a purchase and liked them better than other speakers that you had listened to. It sounds like a trip to Best Buy with $200 might yield more enjoyment... | |
| what is honey colored? examples? I don't think audiophile terms can be defined in any concrete way.In general, tube amps have a smoother sound than does a solid state amp. I would expect that "honey colored" equates to this smooth sound, but now you just found another word to fin... | |
| Speaker Stand Height for Focal Chorus 706V I got my father-in-law a pair of the 706v speakers with Focal stands. They sound pretty good at that hight and it was likely an intentional choice by Focal to make them that height.My 836v speaker sit much taller and also have a great tweeter soun... | |
| JM Labs-Focal: Chorus 726S or 806V or Electra 906? I have not actually heard an 806v, but doubt there is a significant difference. Probably the finish is the biggest change since the drivers are identical. |
