| KEF Q11 vs. R11 While loudspeaker manufacturers drivers often look alike the different lines do often use different uni-q looks the same, but are built to a lower price as are the cabinets. I had a pair of q5’s a while back and they sounded better than the line a... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? 13 year old thread. I appreciate the care Wilson uses at shows. I've never heard a bad demo! on the other hand I've seen KEF setup the Blades in the middle of a loud open floor space and drive their speakers with budget components, as if they were... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? It really doesn't matter when a thread about speakers is started does it? It always comes down to placement and component matching. | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? I've heard some 2 way speakers that sounded better than everything else in the same line from the same manufacturer! Power, room, placement all play a part, but unless you're just looking for loudness usually the 2 way with better components ought... | |
| picking speakers (and electronics) for a relatively large room - new The problem with googled is we look up a question and get sent to a thread that in this case is 6 years old. | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? The DALI Epikon line really gets it right. I've got a pair of KEF Blades that i'm seriously considering selling to move to the Epikore speakers. Personally, I think the Blades are a better value dollar for dollar, but dali really did something spe... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? I just spent some time with the Dali Epikore line, probably my favorite lottery speakers right now, they have a rubikore line that doesn’t give up too much for us working class folk. Is he using a tube amp? I hear it humming in the background | |
| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? Cali burl on the B&W 801D4, or the similar look on the acoustic zen crescendo. | |
| Yamaha NS5000 When I said the ns5k equaled the blades or at least came close I left out that I was comparing the soundstage, an important distinction I think. I’ve learned enough to know there’s too many variables to make qualitative remarks. | |
| Yamaha NS5000 Inside, because the tv room has an inside corner that will necessitate that anyhow and is how Yamaha recommends setup I went with it. | |
| Yamaha NS5000 I agree everything you just posted. Including my experience with krell electronics. There were some tracks I played the other night that equalled or at least came close to the blades, I was pleasantly surprised. The more I listen the more I notic... | |
| Yamaha NS5000 I’ve had so many speakers in this room the last 10 years and the ns5k immediately reminded me of the 7f. The 7 f was more critical of placement and while I can’t speak to the ns5k yet the 7 f was also sensitive to source, maybe the only speaker I ... | |
| Yamaha NS5000 IDK what was wrong with the mc611's you auditioned, but there's nothing 2d about the delivery. | |
| Yamaha NS5000 The mc611's sound great driving my Blades and aren't going anywhere. Ideally the yammi's will play nice with my Hegel H360, another piece I chose after comparing to the others I could try in their price range. I managed a few hours with the NS5k... | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? When i'm setting up speakers and they're bright or have that glare in the midrange I pull them away from the first reflection point. In my tv room I'll pull the in front of the monitor a little more than usual and if I can't get them away from the... |
