Need to chase the classified ads and find some not too far away! But if I had to blind-buy that would be the JBLs.

I went to the shop selling the Klipsch Cornwall III. They used to give you a happy welcome some years ago, now the curtain with the real speakers and quality amp/sources stays closed for the "non-bankable-looking guy" that I am. (front of the shop is for Tivoli radios and showcase of small/"in...

Hi Stuart, sadly I went the open baffle road (loved it!) and it needs a big room, I still got mine (Martin J. King based ones) and they are just unsuitable for a 22/25m2. (I've also tried some Lampizator/greencones and JE Labs ( http://jelabsarch.blogspot.com/2012/06/open-baffle.html) ). I dream...

What's your room size? As yours are passive maybe the amp driving them is a bit on the warm side? My list (brands, several models of interest in each) for now: • Klipsch • JBL • ATC • PMC

I have a dealer in my town, can have a look. It's with this very dealer that we've tried brand new speakers and it needed around 4500€ or more to sound the same (not better at all) that my old speakers. Can ask anyway, as it's where the Cornwall III are ;)

Do you mind my asking the size of your room? IIRC Wilmslow audio states something like SCM50 for small room and 100 for bigger ones. BTW, seems many roads brings back to JBL for bigger guns. And once I've been said Arry 1400 are also fine... List for now: big Klipschs (sounds like an air leak!)...

Well I agree. But... All my speakers have done that before but I need to tell the whole story, it's a chain of equipments afterall. I've owned may DACs, even more CDPs, some including the famous Flea clock from here (Hi Martin C!). And source does play a major role in our music! Few days ago...

RJohan my actual speakers are 40Hz/18kHz +/-3dB, so I see a "wtf?!" 45Hz/12 kHz (- 3 dB) (what does that mean? +/-1.5db?) on the JBL 3677? Well as I am in an apartment the sub can be a problem. And it takes room and the room itself dictates where it must be set up. And DRSBest also advertise for...

"A little bit of K2 performance on a shandy budget" Well I can't ignore that! "Ok, I'm a JBL fanatic" Oh my so I need to take it with a pinch of salt then ;)

Hi guys, build mine why not, maybe half-way with kits from Wilmslow Audio, but I really don't know which one compare to what (I've seen lovely things from Troëls Gravesen). Yes wood work is not my thing and beside pro makers (costlier than car sellers here in France) I have no options. BTW, any...

Thanks Matt, as they are sold in France ( https://www.futureland.fr/enceinte-colonne/36002-jbl-4429-walnut.html ) I put them on my list.

Hi, had a look at my local shop website, they have a pair of Cornwall III, I'll have an ear then, quite lucky I can! Edit: 102dB/ 2,83V/1m... bad source background noise forbidden :)

You're right let's tight things up ;) I've liked the JBL 4406, they are pro monitors if that tells something about the sound, not music but driven by a nice class D amp on the computer they gave scary real feeling of with things like FPS and guns. I disliked the Coda 7, box sound, I disliked the...

Hi folks, I'm ready to save some money for my next and final speakers, so I need some advice about what to look at. My journey into speakers world brought me bad Kef Coda 7, tiny Quad 11L, good clear but bass shy B&W DM4, not refined JBL 4311, overrated JMR Twin, underrated JBL 4406 and maybe...

Thanks guys, already some points here. I was thinking about the quality of speakers, trying to find the point of diminishing return if buy a better DAC or to put in other words the corner when speakers are good enough to enjoy this DAC's sound but not better ones. I know I ask about subjective...
