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...
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...
It' all about the amplification ... If you have access to or eventually plan to use tubes then definitely Klipsch ... If not try getting a demo of both speakers with the hardware you plan to use ... Can't go wrong either way ...
Pfffft! I laugh at your 25% & 14% when I got my dual 16-46CS+ setup I had to pay 35% & 15% on the subs inclusive of shipping to Trinidad!! :angry: AND I have to deal with a 6.7 to one exchange rate!! :angry: :angry: Still ... No regrets! :emoji_thumbsup: I could use another free T-shirt...
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...
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...
Looking for a quality bookshelf that will give me a similar (of better) sound than the Vandersteen 2ce Signatures (mids & highs). I'm in Trinidad, so my choices are limited and if I import I'm faced with almost 40% duty on the cost of the item plus shipping ... That said I have available to...
I'm in Carenage ... The shipping on the svs was no biggie .. the DUTY was de killer!!!
15% Vat + 35% some other crap really added up! Given a dual 16-46cs+ package came in around $1800 US including shipping ... My end (landed) cost was about $14,000 TT I think ...
However, I did order two of...
Make sure you give them aple break-in time before you decide to get rid of them .... That said, try the Rockets if you still don't fancy the Axioms ...
