| Top Notch Desktop System Interesting take on the ME-1 and the KEF Ref 1. One negative on the Ref1 for a small room is that the placement options are not as flexible as the TAD ME-1. When you are in a small room the room becomes the most dominating component. My room is 12... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Focal Kanta 2. For some reason I never auditioned this one. Think I will before I buy the next speaker. http://www.tonepublications.com/review/focals-kanta-no-2-speakers/ Tipping the scale at just under 80 pounds each, the Kantas are extremely... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @smodtactical I am going to do a home trial of the Persona 3F with an Luxman which should soften the top end. I expect this to be too big for my 12x11x9 room but it does not hurt to try the home demo. I was considering the Magico A3 before I heard... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @sfseay I think you maybe correct. After this thread and the research I did for it I am thinking a Lumin T2 or X1 (using fibre optic cable) is what I will try. If I get the T2 then a Sonare optical network -to-USB would be considered. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I have never heard Marten speakers but they came to my attention recently and I will have a listen to their smaller products soon. https://www.marten.se/products/oscar/oscar-duo/ | |
| Top Notch Desktop System I have tried the KEF LS50 on my large desk (see my virtual system). The sound was OK but it drove me nuts that I was wasting the speaker on the desk. Now that I have a dedicated office I have the LS50 away from my desk to the side and it is infini... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Excel Audio in Newport Beach (near the airport) has the TAD ME1 speaker setup with the Luxman m900u and c900u. If you are close by go have a listen to that system. I am buying the Luxman set and unless I find something I like better and will work ... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. The Vimburg are not available yet in my area, Southern Cal, but the Canadian distributor said that they are working on bringing them into my area.I would recommend you to have a listen to the TAD ME1. A real great monitor and in your treated room... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @daveyf I looked at your virtual systems page and see you have your current speakers away from the wall. These speakers are getting some buzz and I am curious to hear them. They would not work for me because I like my speakers closer to the back w... | |
| As good as it gets? I was contemplating the same issue. I even asked KEF USA about the next version of the Blades and they said nothing was in the works. I was thinking that KEF may change the driver material but they have 11 iterations of the same driver now (not su... | |
| Thiel Owners @brayeagle Last time I heard Bryston was a demo Gary Dayton was giving with Vandersteen in Southern Cal.. I asked him to compare the 26 vs the 17 cubed and he said the 17 cubed was the way to go. He claimed the new electronics were much better in ... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I am currently using a KEF LS50 and it sounds great in my treated room in 12x11x9 room. I have been thinking about getting a floor stander in their using DSP but I abandoned that idea recently after hearing some non-DSP capable electronics. So now... | |
| Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row? I spent some time last night going over the various permutations of how to rack my system and the best location for the rack. Taking into consideration issues like my single power conditioner that I currently own and not wanting to run very long p... | |
| Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row? I am a long time Audience cable fan. I am using a few versions of Audience XLR (AU24, AU24SE) | speaker cable (Ohno). I am looking to splurge on the Audience FrontRow speaker cables for a new system. My question is how important would you rate the... | |
