How about stacked Heresys stacked on top of twin 12" subs for dynamics?well...so far I get a little tickle still with cornwalls....have Allison ic10 hooked up now....getting ready to buy a pair of jbl 4313 this week so they will be my favorite next week...I am really getting hooked on the allisons.... allisons and cornwalls are big speakers..the cornwalls with heresay stacked on top powered by a big rotel really feel the neighborhood up with music..lol...love it when I do that..
I agree with you, but in this case, I really think it is just me getting used to the level of output in general and low frequencies specifically. I am running my CD player direct, so no tone controls...everything set flat so no added bass at all. I am using a Rotel A12 integrated, so no pre amp (other than what's inside the Rotel). I also plan to experiment w room placement...right now they are about 13 inches from the back wall...bass might lessen a smidge if I move them out into the room a but more. Although they are not rear ported, so that may not make as much difference as usual. They are sounding better by the minute though...
Yes. They are on the short list as well. I've heard they are terrific. Looking at their specs, it looks like they would be a bit easier to drive than the Martin Logans and they do go a bit lower in the bass.My Monitor Audio Silver 6 would likely appeal to you, too.

Anyone else, like me, prefer the sound of quality bookshelf speakers on nice stands over floorstanding speakers? Clarity, zero distortion, tight, punchy bass, decent sound staging vs. boomy/movie-theater-like bass that rattles the house. I like to hear the bass line, but I don't want all of my music to sound like I am in the front row of a Who concert in 1974.
I ordered my Motion 20s from Crutchfield after speaking w an adviser. I had previously auditioned them in my local Best Buy Magnolia room. Being that that is not an ideal listening area, I wanted to check w the adviser before purchasing. The person I spoke w said that the tweeters on the Motion series are (in his opinion) the best sounding ones they currently have for sale. He described the overall sound as airy, extended, detailed, but pleasant to listen to (i.e. not overly bright or harsh). This was in line w what I had heard at BB. The other question I had for him was if he thought I could get away without a sub for the Motion 20s in a medium-sized room. He said that he thought I could. I do not care for subs and like for my speakers to have tight, punchy bass to fill in the sound, but I don't care for the ultra-low shake the walls bass like at a movie theater. I am a bit worried that the 20s might be a bit too light in the low end though. I guess we'll see...
Thanks! Did not notice you were at the beach at first glance! Certainly cooled off hasn't it!? Thanks for the positive thoughts... I am excited!Well since you are local to me if you don't like them you can just give me a call and I will get rid of them for you......
Seriously though I hope they work out for you.
Drugolf, Your avatar is awesome!This is progressing nicely and sounds more like a room to speaker fit thing. OP is actually in a pretty good position not needing to achieve what many others try to do (and focus on too much) with the lower frequencies. Especially working with modern options. So many to choose from. Elac?
Yeah, nice record changer. Where can we got one of those?Drugolf, Your avatar is awesome!
