10/22/2023 0 Comments Bg radia z7 for saleThanks in advance! And I promise not to post jackass pics! Hopefully you all can help me as I'd like to order something this week. I just want the best midrange and high sound for my money. I don't want to spend over $1000 just to have a normal "big box brand" like Polk/Klipsch. I don't know if I need these more expensive ones or not. Of course some of these are more expensive than others. Magnepan MMG $599/pr (but im worried about my layout with these) Polk Audio RTi12s $799 pair (refurb from polk) If people could tell me what ones are better vs others, then I could limit my list. Here are some of them that I'm interested in. I want a set of speakers with good midrange and good highs for a variety of different kinds of music. I have a 15" down firing powered rear vented sub. IE: anything sounds better than the bose 901s! Also, i don't need to have speakers with bass. But I've also heard less expensive speakers that outperform the expensive ones. The new Yamaha is well rated, just wasn't enough for those big speakers in the past. I also don't mind running the speakers off of the receiver and selling my external amp. Finally I thought, well lets bring the cheap Advents into the living room and hook them into the Parasound amp and have them sound like crap.BUT, they sounded awesome so its not the amp and not the room! It has to be that they are front firing in your face speakers unlike the dipole ribbons or the reflecting Bose. So I got out my BG Radia 520 ribbons and calibrated them and disconnected the Bose eq. Then I went and listened to my Bose 901s and was so disappointed. I haven't paid much attention to them in about 8 years but a few weeks ago I was listening to them while playing "Guitar Hero" with my son and wow the things rocked! I figured it was because the room was closed off. Now for the story.I have a 12 year old pair of Advent Jade $400 speakers that are in a secondary game room. I then, and I'm embarrassed to say this, but bought into the bug of getting a pair of Bose 901s and I tied the Bose EQ in between the receiver and the amp. I simply don't have the back wall space for them to radiate. I had a pair of BG Radia 520 expensive 6 foot tall ribbon speakers and they sounded good in my old home but not here. I'm basically a "Top 40" song listener and I DJ weddings on weekends as well just to give you an idea. I like rock and roll, country, "some" rap, some slow stuff. My music tastes aren't mellow like weird 100 year old songs nobody has heard. My living room is 17x14 but the room opens into my dining room and kitchen which makes for a bad layout (i know). MY SYSTEM: Parasound HCA-1500 THX External 2 channel amp. Okay, like him in interested in a pair of Jamo C607 speakers but I'm also interested in other models as well. I will say though that Im not up to date on my speaker knowledge. I have the same question that Robert asked, but I have intelligence. I'm gonna be very happy enjoying this w/ my family for this Xmas.I read a thread on here from 2008 between a Robert and a Michael. They're fun, airy, with superb imaging, and should be on every poor man audiophile's shopping list. Overall, I'm very very surprise they haven't been more publicly known. For just a bookshelf, I think it has tighter and lower bass (down to 39 on paper). The bass is where the Sierra 1 fights back. Transiency is superb, from the 2 hours I been listening, its a tab better than Sierra, alum cone+ribbon, I guess it should be. Again, because of the pinpoint imaging, it enchance the high even better. It sounds diff than the custom Seas on Sierra1. Airy, spacious, all from this small package. On every sampler CDs I have, it never failed.Īnd then there is the High. Z-7 is harder to catch in this, BUT once its there (I have it 9ft apart toe-in), the imaging is razor sharp and more consistent than Sierra. My good old sierra 1 never have problem in imaging, wherever I put it, it pins down the image without effort, very acommodating. So far I only tested w/ those BW/wilson/Marantz sampler/reference CDs. This is just a short review, as I'm still only a fresh inmate. # Electronically matched crossovers with polypropylene capacitors Just got a pair of this Z-7 from a great guy locally 2 hours ago, it was just a great deal I cannot pass even though my small apt is crammed to the ceiling as it is.
