The PMC DB1s were good at lower volumes too.

Firstly, I'd say that as good as a P3 is for the money, it's hardly a TT with any 'vibrancy' to it - Regas generally tend have a warmer, safe sound. Not too dissimilar in many ways to the Spendor sound (not including the 'classic' models, which from my experience, sound far more energetic). Did...

Just depends on loudspeaker design - as Al ears has mentioned, more efficient speakers tend to perform better at lower volumes. Although, those lower volumes benefits can be negative at higher volumes.

Not the first time (and won't be the last) I've seen someone jump on some speaker bargain, only to end up with a completely off kilter system. While the speaker will bring some natural improvements due to cabinet and component quality, the speakers are in a different class, and won't sound...

That's IF what they're saying is true. I think much of the time it's just concocted to suit the post and try to make them look good.

A deal like that would be ignored if it wasn't available via a sponsor...

:LOL:

I'd look at something with a waveguide for the tweeter, rather than just being flush mounted to the speaker cabinet which will likely bring the cabinet into play. A waveguide will help higher frequencies clear the cabinet and avoid any major reflection/diffraction. Tilt the speakers back a...

There is a forum rule that you can't have your business name as your forum name, but that seems to only be enforced when the mood takes them, and against some, not others.

Looks overpriced to me - they were about £200 new, and they're about 20 years old!

Marantz always did use output level to make their players sound more impressive than others, so it wouldn't surprise me if they upped the outputs of models higher in the range for the same effect.

Not sure there'll be new spares for those now as they're over 25 years old. Might be worth looking for some used Q15.2s, as I believe they use the same drivers.

Maybe the email got lost? Happens. Always best to follow up an email with a phone call.

I agree. I've always imposed my own set of rules on myself with regards to forum posting, even if I am purely on a particular forum for the business. Overpromotion (spamming) immediately stands out to me, and I hate to see it. I think a particular forum got sick of me reporting posts as I...

I'm surprised no one's fished a small child out of some KEF 104.2s yet...
