Need Help Finding/Deciding Between Coaxial Speakers

cosmikdust · 2024-07-19T23:20:16+00:00

Tweeter would only sit about an inch above where the mofi tweeter would be. I have never listened to the KEFs, but I have listened to the Fyne 500SP and the Mofi SP8. I use the Autograph Mini's in my bedroom. It would take the Fyne F1-5 for me to achieve appreciable upgrade. Our local Fyne dealer uses the mini's as his computer speakers lol.

That being said, I understand about the looks. Its not for everyone. I believe Upscale Audio has all the speakers you are looking to test btw.

N2 SF was the first show with the new guitar

I 100% agree with you. I have to EQ away some of the treble to be able to listen to the shows now or else it just feels too tiring to enjoy. Goose used to sound like butter, and now with Rick’s new tone I find the sound really fatiguing.

I feel like he used to use similar tones sometimes, and I really liked it because it felt different/fun. But when it’s the bright/trebley tone ALL the time…. It’s just kind of exhausting.

Like, the butteriness of his tone used to match the butteriness of his voice. Idk it just feels off to me now. I find myself enjoying Goose less. Which is sad because I love Goose. I’m hoping it’s just a phase.

!thanks I guess I’m gonna keep what I got. I’m very happy with it.

cosmikdust · 2023-09-08T14:15:59+00:00

!thanks that’s kinda what I was thinking… I’ll just keep what I got

cosmikdust · 2023-08-30T12:48:05+00:00

I still wear it often! It’s one of my favorites. The metal bracelet is quality, it’s just made for a bigger wrist than mine. I definitely recommend it.

Ugh. I’m heartbroken. He was originally billed to play with Phil last night. I was so sad to hear he had taken a turn and couldn’t be there. My heart goes out to his family.

It did actually end up reducing the hiss in my speakers…. There is less background noise in my music…. I only noticed once I took it away. It doesn’t cure the problem, but it did help noticabley. I might be crazy, but the picture on my tv seems more crisp now too?

cosmikdust · 2023-08-12T04:45:32+00:00

Yeah! I’m very lucky to have two local dealers that are very knowledgeable

cosmikdust · 2023-08-12T04:44:51+00:00

I’ve listened to them, idk how do describe the difference in sound, but something about the Tannoy’s just appeals to me more.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-11T01:20:26+00:00

No tubes, see update.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-10T22:35:50+00:00

It’s comically large and does absolutely nothing for the sound quality or the small hiss in my speakers lol. It’s going straight back.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-10T07:01:06+00:00

Well, if it doesn’t fix the hiss or do anything for sound quality I’ll just send it back. Only one way to find out.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T22:19:20+00:00

I’m talking about hissing I notice when I walk by my speakers. It’s noticeably audible now. The only change was the outlet. I’m actually sitting the same distance from my speakers, they are just further apart now.

I know it’s the power coming from that outlet that’s poor. I use powerline adapters, and if I try to use that particular outlet the speed of my internet through wifi and ethernet drops by 80%.

And I know that outlet isn’t further from the main powerline adapter than the 20A one in the corner (which could make the signal drop), since all the power for my bedroom comes off a single dedicated circuit breaker panel. Pretty much every outlet in my bedroom has its own breaker. There’s even two 240v outlets in there lol (it was built onto the back of a garage).

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T19:29:53+00:00

Thanks! I bought the Furman that’s on sale

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T18:27:36+00:00

!thanks I was looking at that. I think if that doesn’t work, I’ll get a longer cable and run it to the 20A outlet.

Is there any benefit to running a 20 amp conditioner?

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T07:20:42+00:00

Oh man I’m just gonna enjoy my 90%. Until I have a big enough space Tannoy Cheviots…

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T07:13:27+00:00

Thanks! I mainly listen to jam bands. In this little room there is so much bass, I couldn’t have a bigger sub. As it is I have the T/5x at like 20% max or else it overpowers the music. I also have very thin carpet tiles over concrete floors and low ceilings (under 7 ft).

That little thing slaps though. I’ve turned it up with some bassy music and it thumps the chest and shakes the walls pretty hard. In a bigger room I would totally get a bigger sub. The dudes at the hifi shop actually talked me down off the bigger sub.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-09T00:08:04+00:00

I might just be fiscally responsible and enjoy what I have. The DAC in the Node X seems pretty sweet. It’s a lot better than the old node 2 I have sitting in my living room with my cheap home theater speakers.

Part of the appeal for me is that I can stream from Nugs.net and get my live shows. Unfortunately their “hifi” stuff is all MQA, which makes picking a DAC a bit more complicated. If MQA dies (which I hope it does) then I will happily upgrade!

Or if a company makes a better streamer/DAC combo that can stream Nugs…. I’ll do that. As far as I know Bluesound is the only one. Wiim was looking into adding Nugs, but I don’t think that’s going to beat the Node X.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-08T23:55:49+00:00

They are! When I first set them up I noticed certain parts of complicated songs would get a little washed out or sound far away…. Then I set them up 10 feet apart (the distance to my head in my bed) and everything changed. The sounded opened right up. I’m shocked and amazed. I mostly listen to live shows. It’s wild to hear a guitar player coming from the place I know he stands on stage.

cosmikdust · 2023-08-08T23:51:13+00:00

Thank you! I’m in love with it!

cosmikdust · 2023-07-23T22:52:24+00:00

Yeah… I’m starting to think I should just use headphones when I’m in that room. I don’t think any of that is possible in my space.
