I'm curious of how you have your Swans coupled with the tile. My KEF Reference 2's have metal, round gold feet and they sit on my tile just as is. Would some rubber in between the feet and tile help? I'm not worried about damaging the tile, I want the best sound. Also, my speakers have mass loadable plinths. I wonder if I added some sand or something if they would sound better (tighten bass, better soundstage?)? Anyone have any ideas or should I leave well enough alone? I love to tweek though, especially when it's cheap.

I have had the Def Tech's for about 3 years and enjoyed them very much but the Rockets are in my opinion a huge upgrade. I watched the new Batman (great movie, best Batman yet IMO) and the SQ is excellant. At the price av123 is selling the 750's it's a steal!

Hi All,

I'm excited about my new setup so I thought I'd post as well. Just got the receiver and speakers today so they're not broken in but still sound great. I'll post more about them in a week or two if anyone is interested. Thanks to everybody here who posts and gives good advice and recommendations. I wouldn't have ended up with the setup I did w/o AVS!!

My Setup:

Panasonic TH-42PD50U Plasma TV
Panasonic S97 DVD player
Panasonic SA-XR55 receiver
Mirage Omnisats (platinum) L C R channels
Mirage Omni S8 subwoofer.

I'm not a Panny fan boy (honestly!) but I don't have a ton of money to spend and these components are considered good bang for the buck (based on this forum) and so I have them and have been very happy thus far. Going to upgrade to omnisats all around and ceiling mounted when I mount my plasma on the wall.

Cheers!
Mike

I tell you, I used to think that getting all one brand was the only way to go. I can't believe how wrong I was.

I think I have the best balance between music and home theatre.

I know Sony is not known for speakers but the subs are a different animal from their other speakers.Each one has two 10" drivers in a Push-Pull configuration ( like M&K) with a 250 digital amp.In my room they do deliver the goods.

I'm not a big fan of Digital amps. I especially don't like it in Sony's ES receivers (or any of their's). Do those have that digtal amp sound to it like their receivers do?

Weird huh? Today is 5/29/07, exactly a year later!!! :cool:

B&W 802Ds

I don't have a surround setup currently, but am considering either buying 3 more 802Ds, 2 802Ds and the HTM1D, or selling the 802Ds and buying Wilson Watt Puppy 8s (and small Wilsons for surround gear) if I am completely blown away by them when I can get a chance to demo them in a few months. If I get the 802Ds I would probably get the ASW 855 or ASW 875 for a sub.

Too many damn speakers, i'm supprized the wife hasn't killed me yet! :) Most were free aquisitions, with exception of the JBL's, Mackies, and Behringers... Probably $3k in those 3 pair alone.

Does anyone own the Athena Micra 6 speakers. i would love to here what they are like as I am debating getting a package. Any replies would be appreciated

I own/use:
Klipsch Cornwall II(s) - 7x of 'em

Running 7 channel ( 5[.1] with 2 enhanced/effects channels ) on a Yamaha amp.

I'm one of those - after you've heard/used good quality horns, won't ever go back.

Been running the Klipsch for like 18yrs and still haven't heard anything better for anywhere near the cost.

IMHO - I'm really amazed that audio technology quality, unlike video, really hasn't been improved upon ( not efficiencies/cost, just sound output ) since the 1940s.


Cheers.

Is there another thread like this? I could'nt find it, maybe they should make this a sticky? Or the other one?

a pair of Paradigm Mini-Monitors and PS1000 sub for music

and a Yamaha YSP800 for surround sound that i won't have hooked up till later this month when we move to our new house.

I'm thinking I may have the oldest mains on this thread. Anyone?

Center: Harmon /Kardon CS5
Side Surrounds: Infinity QPS1
Back Surrounds: 8.5 x 12 in-wall, Brand unknown.
Sub: Custom built dual 10 inch driver, 7 cu. ft. ported, Behringer EP2500 powered.


I've thought about replacement but I can't seem to bring myself to part with the old A/D/S's. They're like old friends. Anybody else run into that problem?

This is a great thread, because it weeds through what people think about speakers and what they actually own. I have been looking for speakers for about 3 months (Still a month out). I have tried about 5 brands from friends (B&W, Paradigm, Martin Logan, Rocket, and Klipsh).

The one great thing that I got out of this thread, and many of us should, is that there are speakers here from A-Z (figure of Speech) listed here and everyone says how nice theirs are. Which leads me more to thing the bashing of speaker brands on other threads is not just from experience but more just to bash. I don't want to open a can of worms with this but the take away from this whole thread is e whether it is Bose, or Rocket, or Wilson, "Beauty is in the EAR of the beholder".

Reading between the lines, whether you spend $400.00 on your speaker system or $30,000 if you like it and enjoy it, who cares right.??

I got more out of this thread in the Speaker forum than all the rest combined.

Thank you, it has helped a great deal.

Their own ad copy explicitly states that they "have no direct effect on the electrical signal". They are also too small to physically effect soundwaves. In spite of this, they not only claim to improve sound, but video as well! How can anyone fail to see that this is utter and complete crap?! :mad:

James Loudspeaker 36-SDX In-wall two pairs for surround sound and sides

Their own ad copy explicitly states that they "have no direct effect on the electrical signal". They are also too small to physically effect soundwaves. In spite of this, they not only claim to improve sound, but video as well! How can anyone fail to see that this is utter and complete crap?! :mad:
These clocks will improve both audio and video in every room in your house that has a audio/video system in it! They work great in your car too! Two clocks are alot better than just one in your system!

Dude, you're embarrassing yourself.

Hopefully, he is joking. :) (If not, he is insane.)

What do you do with 41+ pairs of speakers, including 3 Klipschorn pairs?

Makes my Klipschorn, La Scala and Heresy HT system seem pretty tame.

Yes! It's still pretty expensive to bottom feed around here!

Axiom M60ti fronts
Axiom VP150 center
no room for QS8s so I'm using a pair of Orbs as surrounds
SVS PB12-NSD sub

Just to add my .02 - my speakers are:

NHT 2.5i's - had them since 97 or so - LOVE them still. Had some trouble matching an amp when my HK AVR85 went out. I listen for music more than the ultimate in detail or transparency. Some amps sounded a bit harsh with them (e.g. NAD). Settled on a B&K Reference 4420 (200w/ch). Nice sound with enough power to drive these rather inefficient speakers.

NHT SB-3's - for the bedroom. Had these for almost a year and really like them too. A little more mellow than the 2.5i's with some surprising bass for a bookshelf.

Paradigm Atoms - for spare bedroom. Had these about 3 years. Okay but nothing great. Didn't live up to the reviews in my experience but YMMV. Certainly worth the price though.

Currently looking to add a set for the office. Probably go with NHT - maybe some SB-2's or something from the new Classic line. Just haven't heard them yet. Have heard some comments about them being a bit harsh - something I don't tolerate well. If I had a spot for them, I'd buy some NHT ST-4's - great deals on the remaining stock out there.

Cheers

2 complete 5.1 Blueroom Minipod set ups (main listening area + bedroom). Replaced Atlantic Technology System 450THX.

Shouldn't people use the sticky thread at the top of the Speakers section for this?

Just wondering.

SVS SBS-01 Mains

SVS SCS-01 Center

Decent Awia Surrounds

Cerwin Vega LW-12 150Watt Sub

All Powered by my Pioneer 1014. I have to say this system sounds amazing right now.....Can't wait to upgrade my surrounds to the SVS SBS-01's and hopefully upgrade the sub to the 12inch SVS sub!

Rega R5, one pair


they replaced my middling Definitive Technology ProCinema 100.6, and i couldn't be happier.

KRK ST6 - FL,C,FR, SR,SL,RR,RL
MB Quart 12" Subwoofer

Combination of HK HT14s and Paradigm mini-monitors. The mini-monitors are used as my fronts in a 5.1 system. The HK HT14s that were in use as my fronts are now in my bathroom on a second zone. This way, I can do whatever in the bathroom and still watch/listen to my home theater. Rotel RSX-1067 receiver which is super nice. It's all working very well so far.

I'm :D

Just bought new Salk HT3 mains, HTC center and a pair of HT1 for surrounds. Twin JL Audio F113 Fathom subs

Chorus II Front, KG4 Rear, Sony center, down throw Polk PSW100 sub.

Wharfedale Pacific Evolution 30 fronts, EVO center, EVO 8 surrounds and Powercube DX12+ sub, all in rosewood. Driven by Yamaha HTR-5960.

Replaced Pioneer receiver + B&W201 surround system.

My 5.1 HT system, all currently in 30 day test drive mode:

Ascend 340SE for L and R,
Ascend 340SE M for CC,
Axiom QS8s for surrounds,
Hsu VTF-3 MKII subwoofer.

Also I still own, but am not currently using, an Energy Take 5 system (actually it is now a Take 4 system since I blew out one of the satellites) and an Energy 10" subwoofer.

I'm still planning on auditioning some additional models at the one local audio boutique store I have yet to visit after already having looked at everything my local non-Magnolia BB, CC, and the other local boutique had to offer.

I am also considering upgrading my fronts by test auditioning some ACI Sapphire XLs and a Sapphire XLC or the discontinued Essence V and Essence center the ACI site is selling. I love the Ascends for movies but for 2.1 channel listening they are not blowing me away in terms of imaging and soundstage.

Remember, soundstage and imaging also have a lot to do with placement and room acoustics.

Remember, soundstage and imaging also have a lot to do with placement and room acoustics.

That is very true and in addition my expectations may be too high. What I'm shooting for in terms of imaging and soundstage is something close to what I have heard on a combination of Linn speakers, Macintosh amp, and Linn turntable. Don't get me wrong about the Ascends, they are easily the best speakers I've heard in their price range.

My 'ideal' system also cost many, many times what I paid for what I now have. That said, the Ascends are still far, far away from my 'ideal' in terms of imaging and soundstage. I have tried moving them around quite a bit, including setting them at the suggested .73 ratio apart and also played with their toe-in using the recommended percentages. This has, in my case, helped slightly, not dramatically and I'm still pretty far from my 'ideal' imaging and soundstage. As you said, that could be due purely or partly to room acoustics but I probably won't know that unless I audition something else in my house. That's why I'm considering testing the Sapphires.

Theater room: BIC Acoustech 5.1 with HSU VTF-3 MKII, looking to move to some bookshelves due to space constraints. Maybe a set of HSU HB-1?

Bedroom: A pair of those $50 Insignias. Future plans call for Onix XL-S and X-sub.

I currently use the following:
B&W DM 604 S2 Mains
Infinity CC250 Center
EPI Microtower 1 sides
Pyle PDWR63 Rears

With a Boston Acoustics AVR7120 7.1

Although these speakers are from various manufactures, I have slected them thry comparative senstivity, response, and trial and error comparison to models I purchsed and took back to retailer. The sound is detailed, very natural, with no standouts. Calibration with the standard calibration mic for the Boston receiver works very well.

2 Mirage M3-Si's, I absolutely love these beasts.

Mains: Paradigm Monitor 9's v.5
Center: Paradigm Monitor CC-370 v.4
Surrounds: Paradigm Monitor 3's v.3
Sub: Klipsch KSW-12

I just got the new Monitor 9's a couple weeks ago. They are different than the v.4's in that they are more efficient and contain three 6.5" drivers rather than two 8" drivers. The place I got them from did an A/B test for me between the v.5's and the v.4's and the v.5's sounded clearer and seemed to have better imaging.

Next on my list to upgrade is the sub. Hoping to get something in the SVS line at some point... but the Klipsch does ok in the meantime :)

A pair of Sonus Faber Concertos with a Velodyne DD-10 sub.

HT----B&W N803's, HTM1 Center, and N805's for surrounds and a Martin Logan Descent subwoofer.
