I think I'm getting wood :b

I haven't heard the epiphony's , but they are supposed to be a significant step above the CMB's ... Remember the CMB's are the audiophile steal of the century at only 3 - something a pair. Never heard the Aperion's ...

Get these: http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/epiphony_e.html Odyssey Audio - Epiphony I was researching this same thing not too long ago and I've decided on these ... The Ascends are really nice (I have the CBM-170's) but I would not describe them as laid back. They are neutral and...

The Ascend's plus sub are close enough to the Vandersteen 2ce signatures, that I would not spend $1500 on the Vandersteen's and instead spend $350 on the CBM's and use the balance for a nice integrated tube amp...

Thanks kev ... I'll google the Soliloquys, and I have a Rotel reciever that's supposed to be 75w RMS / ch ...

Odyssey Audio - Epiphony Mini Monitors (or opinions on other quality bookshelfs) Hi does anyone have any experience with the Epiphony's? http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/epiphony_e.html I'm looking to upgrade from my Ascend CBM-170's (which are great BTW) I'm on a small island in the...

No advice or opinions? :frowning:

Like the thread says I can't afford a nice HDTV (I live in Trinidad and we have a 6.7:1 exchange rate and 45% duty on electronic items) so I want to use a nice big monitor with my dvd plaver and xbox. I have a phillips dvd player capable of 480p and 540p and of course the xbox which...

Very interesting ... Chris, how do you like the S38's for music vs the AV3's ...

To my ears overcooked bass = boomy ... No one said it was one note bass or whatever just out of balance ... Anyway it's just a movie and at the end of the day who really cares?

Seth you just aren't getting it ... The problem is not with the subs abilitites to reproduce bass, the problem is the bass on underworld is mixed too hot ... That is, it's encoded at a level several decibels higher that the rest of the effects in the movie, hence the "boomy" sound. If...
