| Subwoofers with room correction built in? For less than $1k you can get the DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 unit with built-in room correction and DSP equalization modes. Other units are out there but I'm not that familiar. These units can be used with your main speakers, in addition to your subwo... | |
| And My Budget Is... I believe our O.P. made some very excellent points. Being open-minded is helpful and looking outside the budge range sure gives you additional perspective on what is out there, and where diminishing returns may set in for your ears. But if the pos... | |
| Why the cost increase? +1 on vaccinations for allLet's allow science a chance. It'll help get us out of many current problems. | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. Come on, tell us about the new speakers. Working out nicely I hope. | |
| Why the cost increase? one 2" x 8" x 16 ft pine board: $52 I choked and bought it for a project for my wife. The porch will just wait...I get some of the anger but hope the O.P. finds some relief from the anger; it's not good for one's physical being (or mental). | |
| Mix and match subs? I agree with soix. Scratch the SF sub idea. But yes, add another sub by all means. I'm running three SVS (2 SB-2000 and a SB-3000 in the audio room in asymmetric locations with great results and would like a fourth. Paradigm makes good stuff; not ... | |
| What’s the biggest mismatch you’ve seen, heard, or done? I had thought 'sonic mismatch' but see monetary ones as well.Sonically, an old ARC LS-3 with a Threshold T200 power amp and Martin Logan SL3s. I forget what the T200 replaced but it was a lesson about auditioning first, especially at that high pri... | |
| Is there a high quality transport that doubles as a Blue Ray player? My BDP-105 was one of the few components I actually had to buy new, and I have never regretted it. It is merely a CD transport at present in the primary two-channel system.Maybe I should try it for DVD and Blu-Ray (never have) in the home theater ... | |
| Wilson v Sonus Faber I'd agree with ebm. I thought I liked Wilsons years ago but I'm not so sure. My guess is the SF line is far more listenable (a bit warm) in the long haul thanWilson, although I guess they are warming up finally. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Firm believer in the air a sub adds since the Denver REL guys left the demo room 20 years ago, and let me play bass-less "Fields of Gold" (Eva Cassidy's version) and turn the REL off and on at will. The added air and spaciousness was EASILY ... | |
| Diminishing returns? Ah yes, two-channel 'enthusiasts'. I admit to being one totally, but I still thought to suggested a center and surround solution (with better mains for two-ch use). It seemed to be what was needed per the O.P. unless I misunderstood. Sometimes it'... | |
| What's your dream speaker? fred6059 posts07-16-2021 6:18amRaidho D 3.1. To my ears, Raidho's do it all. Of course Borresen is the genius behind it. Haven't had a chance to hear his new line, so maybe the Borresen 03. At $66K, unfortunately can't go there! I agree ... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Thanks, mc. It all makes sense. I can hear the 12KHz tone but not 16. I re-plugged all four Schuman resonators in the room and the jury is still out. The fourth sub may well be the best advice for now, not that I would expect to 'hear' a super-tw... | |
| Need help placing a second subwoofer. +1 millercarbon's statements. And I'd run those Dali's full range unless you feel the need to high-pass for whatever. Unless your amp is small I think the midrange will do fine with the woofers tagging along and not high-passed. Plus they go low... | |
| Audiophile Vacations Although she didn't like it much, I've gone to plenty of audio retail stores while away from home on vacation. Sue me; I wanted to see what 'Sound By Singer' looked like while in Manhattan and to hear what they had.I get to hear and see things t... |
