Hello, my main sources are FM radio and HEOS (Spotify, Internet radio & NAS). This week I have tried setting speakers to 80Hz and it has improved a little bit. Still I find it very strange that in general it is so bass heavy. I have tried with the manual equalizer and tone adjutments but in...

Hello I have purchased this receiver as a replacement of my 4 year Onkyo 818. In general the replacement is not going as smooth as I would like. I am finding some issues and I hope someone can provide advice. Music SQ – I am finding that the sound lacks a bit of refinement/warmth. Depending...

Very interesting, I was not aware that the principia range did not sale in the UK. That explains why so few reviews... ;-)

Yes, I had demoed the Q acoustics and they have always been like this. Do not take me wrong, they are great speakers and have served me well over these 2 and half years. Just like every other speaker they have strengths and weaknesses. Regarding Dali Ikons, I used to have them in the living...

Regarding speaker placement, I know it may have negative impact, same as placing agains the wall. However, my floorstanders do not give a very good sound already and they are well possitioned. In fact one of the main problems is that you really need to sit right in front of them, otherwise the...

Thanks, Concept 20 could also be an option, I will try to listen to them. I have never been too happy with my current 2050i because the bass is not tight which makes the overall sound a bit muddy. I would definetly need to demo.

This is great information, I really appreciate it. In my case, I already have a subwoofer (crossover at 40hz), and they are going to be on a 27cm depth shelf against the wall. This is why it would be difficult choice between the 1 or 3. It is not so much about money because the principia 3...

Thanks for the advise, unfortunately those are definetly out of my range, even the 6.1 are already around 900 pounds. Then, the cheaper range like Mercury would not be on the same level.

Thansk Mathewpiano, I was really interested in those but unfortunately did not have the chance to listen to them. I have some small concerns thougth, one is that the central channel of the EMIT range is very expensive together with the cost of the EMIT itself which is already 100 more than the...

Hello, I am in process of trying to replace my current front speakers. Currently I have a pair of Q Acoustics 2050i , wharfedale sub, AV Onkyo 818. In my short list I am considering the following: SVS prime, Dynaudio EMIT 10 and Sonus Faber principia 1 or 3. Last Saturday I had the chance to...

Simonlewis, thanks for your input, I have tried both ways and I prefer better when they are set as “full scale”. In any case I would see your recommendation probably best suited for movies than music. My experience for music is that, it sounds more natural when making full use of front...

I have tried to get help directly from Q acoustics via e-mail and also via their web site form, unfortunately I have not received reply from them so, I hope somebody can help. I currently own Q acoustics 2050i , 2000ci & Wharfedale SW150. My AV receiver is an Onkyo 818. Speakers are set to...

I already listened to them but very briefly. The shop is quite far away from my city but last week I was there when I picked up the Tannoys and I had the chance to listen to them briefly. They played a sample music at high volumes and the impresion was very good. The test lasted 5 min and I...

Hello, as you may have seen in my other post I am in process of replacing my front speakers. I have enjoyed my Dali Ikon 1s very much for the past 5 years (using daily) but latelly I was somehow noticing that they were missing something. It was as if the speakers were getting softer and...

Sorry for the double post. I have tried to delete or edit the one created yesterday but it gives error messages. So here is the story: Last week I purchased the Tannoy Mercury V4i floorstanders and I have been using them for 3 days more or less. Although they have some weaknesses, in general...
