Out of 4

[SpankingVanillaice]

Ok I am serious about this but out of my 4 speakers I currently own which do you guys think is the best sounding speakers? I want everyone to reply to this please. I want honest true infos about this. BUT don't compair them to other speakers like Axiom or other better speakers. JBL HLS410 or JBL S26 or Edirol MA-10D or JBL Control 1X

[Florian]

I would pick the first one.

Remember I am serious about this since I really want to know out of the 4 speakers I have which are the best.

[Florian]

How can you expect to be taken seriously?
I for one am a complete ribbon freak and 100% biased towards them but i still like many other designs out there like the electrostatics or good box designs from Avalon, Genesis, Alon, Totem, AudioNote (for nearfield) and others. To state that studio monitors are better then Home speakers is so stupid its unbelieveable. For once, your Eidorols which if i see a cheap pair on ebay will buy and measure just to teach you something will never be able to reproduce anywhere close to the full spectrum! Besided that, there is no way in the world that they have a flat response in the room....studio monitor or not.

From all the ones you listed i like the first JBL's most, but you have to understand that those speakers are the beginning of the beginning. Hear some B&W's, Axioms or anything else and forget the rubbish you read on the eidorol website. There is more to the sound then a flat freqeuncy responce. Many systems sound dull and lifeless if they are flat. I know this, i used digital room correction to get a straight line and it sounded like ****.

There are many awsome people on this site, actually all of them. All have different taste and many own great systems. Check out RGA for highly efficent tube magic, check out me with power hungry man tall speakers and Topspeed, Geof. etc.... life and learn!

the only way you will know for sure is by listening to them yourself. what sounds best to one person will not sound best to another.

if you are really serious about JBL's, try a pair of L-100's. i wouldnt waste my time or money on those in your list. i really think you need to expand your listening experiences, it will open up a whole other audio world for you.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Ok guys I know that there are other speakers that are better but I want to just compair the 4 I have now since I dont have any money to get new speakers. That's the reason why I am asking out of the 4 which will sound the best to you guys.

By looks alone (since that is all I have to go on) the second pair (s26's) look the best to me.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to score a decent pair of speakers... there's some really awesome speakers available for less than $1,000. While JBLs are okay for power handling and rich bass, they're not a great all-around speaker. If you're on a tight budget, I'd look into Paradigm speakers, they have a full range of speakers at multiple price points, and I believe they currently make one of the best sub-$1,000 speakers right now. Ultimately, your ears will decide what sounds best, but don't limit yourself to the JBLs you have... sell them off and invest in a real pair of speakers. And don't forget to invest in decent speaker cables too.

[Florian]

Good advice, there are many good budget speakers out there. Sell ALL the ones you have now and look around.

BIG ORANGE THING

[Bernd]

Can only agree with above. Sell the speakers you got and start auditioning new ones. You will be rewarded.

Enjoy the B.O.T. for now.I would like to see it one more time though.Pleaseeeeeeeee.
I am doing fine. Got another litter of Dachshunds and have just ordered a Transfiguration Temper V (should be here any day now). So I am like a little kid at the moment (are we there yet) pathetic I know.

Peace

Bernd

What's playing: Traveling Wilburys-Vol.1 (on mint Vinyl-Bliss)

[noddin0ff]

Good God! I had to Google Transfiguration Temper V...is that really a multi-K$ phono cartridge? Having bypassed LP's all I can say is "Wow!"

[Florian]

My friend runs the Koetsu Onyx and Jade on the Goldmund T3 Reference and the Forsell Air Reference. You can look those up too if you want to make your eyes pop I hear those quit often and let me tell you, its magic.

[Bernd]

Yup!

Got it for a really good price. My x-mas present to myself. Where is the damned thing? Bl**dy Post.

Enjoy what you have.

ok that maybe was not the best way to put it but I have a hard time accepting gays. I'll stop there.

How about gay audiophiles?

hmmm same I guess

Eh, so much for Europe more advanced sensibilties. You guys seem as bad as the tight a$$ puritanical american public. What gives anyone the right to pass judgement on anyone else?

If you have a problem with a person based on the sexual preference, then its not them who has a problem. Its you.

What about people who are straight but A-holes? What about straight people who abuse children, and kill innocent people? What about straight men that phisically and mentally abuse women? Would you hold these kinds of people in high regard just because they are straight?

My focus is on whether people share my core beliefs, are good people, and are loving and supportive of their fellow man, not who they choose to sleep with. If more people took that path, this world would be a hell of alot better place. Everyone should have the right to live their life as they choose without judgement from other folks. When you have acheived perfection, then you can judge others.

[Florian]

Please do not judge "Europe" on tolerance and acceptance of gays and lesbians by one person, esp. comming from America. No offense! I for one, am all for gays and lesbians. I have a friend who is gay and noone gives a ****. I dont go around priding myselfs with being Heterosexual, and this is the only thing where i think that the gays and lesbians should downplay it a bit.

Anyway let's forget about it

It is forgotten.

No, what I am really against is homosexuals bringing up children. I think that is completely wrong at which ever angle you look at it, and even more so ethicaly wrong. That is why I am against the gay community becoming stronger, whether socialy or in numbers.
I didn't realize Amercians frowned on homosexuals more so than "Europeans" ( i don't like the way americans consider Europe as on big country, as there are huge cultural differences between one country and the other-I guess Florian and I think alike). I am half American so don't please don't call me "european" just because I live in Geneva.

Sadly Terrence nobody walking this planet can acheive perfection.
And no I would not support straight people who act in the wrong ways, of course I wouldn't but this is not so much in paralel with what I said.
Sorry I brought this up but it can't be a bad thing we talked about it.

We make fine parents by the way. My partner has two children and he is a much better dad than most and a better parent than the mom. Do not worry we do not discuss the intricacies of our relationship with the children and we are not affectionate in front of the children. They both appear to be growing up heterosexual which is fine with me. Life can be tough enough and I would never want children I love to be tormented and abused by ignorant peers like I was because they are gay. Yes gay parents do not try to make their children gay but love them and help them learn to accept themselves for who they are.

What's ethically wrong is a child being brought up a household where they are unwanted, physically abused, emotionally abused, molested, hurt, mis-treated, ignored. There are lots of straight families out there where these things happen all the time. Being straight does not guarantee good parenting.

My experiences with gay families is exacty the opposite. Gays and lesbians don't just find themselves pregnant. They have to plan for it. They have to arrange it. They really want it. And because of that, they know what a blessing their child(ren) is and what a privelage it is to be a parent. How on earth can a child being raised in a happy, loving home be unethical????

What I'm really against are homophobes who would rather see a child stay in the Foster Care system than to be brought up in a loving, household...just because the parents are gay.
