Your Stereo System Speakers?

[Matra et Alpine]

Fleet, the frequency difference is down to standardisation.
-3db roll-off points and ripple limits along with distortion limits mean different results.

As well as a JVC a/v setup in the TV room, in the music room I've got "old school" ...
B&W DM6 speakers
QUAD 44 Pre-amp
twin QUAD 405 current-dumping amps modified to operated bridged, each driving one speaker.
Nakamichi DT600 cassette
Pioneer linear tracking turntable.
Sony CD player
Sony reel-to-reel tape ( for my studio archive )
QUAD FM4 tuner

I hear Paradigm are good value for money and punch above their weight.

Especially the PS subwoofer series. Looked at both the PS-1000/1200. Very good buy if looking for used.

Wow, I would hang on to those if I were you. Just for the value (rarity) and for nostalgic reasons.

I remember hearing about the Pioneer brand back in the '70s. They were always well regarded.

Not going to repost the photos, but you can look at them in this old thread.

Vacuum Dynakit Stereo 70 with old old JBL (and dead) speakers. Replaced with ones from Polk, but dad isn't so happy with them. So we'll just have to see.

Plus the HD setup downstairs with a Yamaha RXV-2600 reciever, I think. My dad is nuts, he put a 6.1 system I think. Big JBL woofer. I'll take a pic when I get a chance.

I've got the Bose Companion 5 speakers for my computer, and a JVC 625 watt 5.1 system on the theatre; however it's my headphones that I take a little more seriously. Just picked up a pair of Grado Labs SR80i headphones, and I must say that they're brilliant. Without getting up into the $200 and up range, Grado makes the best headphones you'll hear. I also have a pair of wireless Sennheiser's, however they've died on me.

Mines old a good 13 years now. It's kenwood system. Amp died 4-6 years ago. Speakers are 160w 3 way big tall box heavy bastard, A good 10-20kg.

On a related subject, who here likes to keep the bass knob at the maximum setting? I am one of those... I want to hear the bass, not minimize it!

In my photo, it is not set at maximum becuase during its last use, the volume was set higher than usual.

Hell yes, bass deserves to be turned up to 11. I just don't want to hear it, I want to FEEL it.

totally concur. i like seeing things shake and hearing them fall off of shelves.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes bass set at max!

[Matra et Alpine]

I like bass at it's tightest.
Comes from live music background.
Speakers get huge distortion in the lower end if pushing lots and lots of air and equally amplifier harmonic distortion increase at high levels at lower frequencies.
"Balanced" is how I would describe my preference.
Loud as well though

Ultimate "bass" was at a Kraftwerk concert in the 80s.
As "Autobahn" swpet from left to right the whole torso cavity violently vibrated in tune with the low frequencies
MANY folsk were ill and moved away from the sweet spot near the front.
SOme of us moved nearer to it !

Agreed.

[NSXType-R]

Agreed.

Yup. I hear that you will drown out the mid range if you increase the bass to the highest. So that's what I don't do.
