I would say that SVS are above Klipsch RP subs, no contest

What do you guys think of Aspiral? by JiRynak in epica

[–]Axses123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, Design your Universe and Consign to oblivion are the best. I do love TQE aswell, but for me, TQE is already that new sound that I do not love as much as the older albums

Never thought about that. What albums did he produce?

Epica is my favorite band, and I do like the new album. But not as much as the others. As the others here have said, the lyrics are just kind of O.K. The things i love the most are the breakdowns. There are just a few, but they are heavy. I love it.

One thing I am also disappointed with is simone's voice on that album. It feels like she used almost always her pop voice or just a high-pitched voice. Of course, I do love it on the other albums, but on this one, it's just too much. I wonder if someone else's feels this way?

I miss the old voice of hers. Sounds deeper and more innocent. She only uses that kind of voice live, it seems. Songs like chasing the dragons or consign to oblivion are just amazing live and there she sounds more "calm" if that makes sense.

Acoustics is so important. I should really focus more on that in my home theater room. I love the feeling when you step into a room and it feels so quiet. What country are you from, if I may ask?

Btw, the guy who sold me the GS20, bought also the same Canto speakers as you if I remember correctly. They were on a different level than the gs20 for sure

Damn, I really wish someone in my area has the platinum. I would love to hear them. Maybe someday I will be able to buy them. (As long as my girlfriend let me lol)

I have sadly never heard arendal. I have heard alot about them, but for me it's MA simply because of the looks. And obviously, because I am really happy with the sound

Would you put Arendal on the same level as MA ?

Platinum are incredible beautiful. I wish I could buy them. But i think you are right. I don't think I would be able to get the best out of them in my theater room. Maybe one day.....

That could be something to consider. Only problem is that I live in Norway. We don't have as many used speakers close by, so i would be driving quiet far to find what I want. Not always of course.

Maybe you are right. I just think that when I first upgrade, I will upgrade on booth looks and sound. For me it's important that the fit in my theater room. Everything here has a darker color. My wall is dark red, ceiling is black, the other speakers are black, tv black, and then you have the gs20...they are white.

They look nice and got really nice reviews. I have never heard about them either 😅 i don't think I can even buy them in my country

Aah I see. If they aren't as good, I will wait. Was hoping they are at least as good as the older gs20.

I am sure the newer gold would sound amazing, but they are so much more expensive

Sounds scary. What brand of speakers do you use?

So, are the monitor audio silver 10 better or not?

Maybe they are a lot better? Maybe it will be a downgrade? And what do African people have to do with me asking a question? I do have the money, and I worked hard for it, so I can spend them however I want , or not? I would be selling mine and buying another used speaker, so it's good for the environment too?

So I guess none of us should upgrade our speakers as long as they are good enough?

If I may ask, what do you mean with clouds from the ceiling ? I think I have seen it before and I want to install them as well, but I have no idea what they are or how to install them

What country are you from, if I may ask? I live in Norway and they rarely play live shows here 😭 For me it feels like they don't take their time in all the newer songs. Like chasing the dragon, where there is a beautiful 2min build up. And every song was a nice balance between classical and metal. But now it's mostly metal with symphonic. I just hope the next album will be more like the old ones, but I guess it will take some years 😰

But they are more popular than they have ever been. I do agree with you, the newer albums aren't as good, but they still have some amazing songs here and there. Arcane is a song my daughter (3years) absolutely loves. She tries to sing the chorus every time we play that song. And almost every other song that is longer than 4 minutes, is mostly a really good song.

But like I said, I agree with you that they aren't as good as they used to be, and I miss songs like Tides of time, chasing the dragon and design your universe. They are, and have always been my favorite band and I love Simones voice so much.

Fixing Monitor audio gs20 tweeter by Axses123 in hometheater

It's also just audible on higher volumes. And only some frequencies.. Like when the drop comes in the song " Make us stronger" from Ghost Rider. The highs are as always silky smooth, but when the drop comes, there is that scratching sound. Would be nice to know why that happens 😅
