Audio Experience is an authorized dealer for Dali too, but we are in CT, USA. it's totally up to you regarding what is more important to you - new with warranty or used without warranty and at a discount. either way they're incredible speakers !

@@audioexperience Thank you for replying. I live on the other side of the world (Romania), so I have to make do with the dealers in my area :) Anyway, I was looking for a more direct answer - do you think warranty is worth the extra $2500?

go for it

@@audioexperience Cheers, thanks!!!

unfortunately not as Audio Experience is not currently a dealer of Rotel products so other than provide you a comparison of specs (which of course i'm sure you already know since you're shopping multi channel amps) i won't be of much help...biggest thing for me at least is that the Anthem amps are made in Canada where Anthem is located whereas Rotel is made in China despite being a Japanese company. if you're open to multi channel amps by marantz / NAD / Anthem please get in touch! 203-808-6991

hello! thanks for stopping by :) audioexperience.net / shopaudioexperience.com

i guess all my time spent in the gym has paid off for something😂

i have the L600s which are of similar weight . i placed furniture glides under the feet . this allowed me to easily slide them around to find the optimal listening position for my room . when satisfied with the position you want , just remove the glides . i left my glides in place so i could clean more easily . i can move the speakers with only one hand .

​@@siriosstar4789 that's a great thing - Legend L600 are fantastic!

if you'd like to purchase it please contact us and we can send you an invoice for this product: sales@audioexperience.net

I bought it at bhphoto, called "trim strip", model TS. I looked on your site first but it wasn't listed.

@@NathanSweet i appreciate that - the middle atlantic catalogue is MASSIVE and i haven't been able to add it to my online store but all their stuff is available by just contacting directly

@@NathanSweet This is where I got mine from as well. These are quite hard to find online. Ever since I came across this vid, I was on the hunt for these. They come in 2 styles: Black Powder and Black Brushed. FYI: the latter is more than twice the price of the former (which IMO is quite expensive, considering you only get ONE strip per pack; not sure why these aren't sold as a pair, since that's how they would be used 🤔). But the former was all I was looking for.

hi John - thanks for checking out the video and your kind feedback! if you're interested in designing a theater and/or need to purchase anything for it, we offer both HT consulting and/or product sales so if you are interested please get in touch for more details! sales@audioexperience.net

if you had an opportunity to experience this subwoofer for yourself you would have a different opinion i can assure you. but if it's budget / bang for buck you're chasing then sure this isn't the right product for you. what the sub 2 does is objectively provide the highest SPL output, deepest bass, most powerful continuous power subwoofer in the smallest footprint available and does so while subjectively having the highest aesthetic value of any other subwoofer on the market to boot

@@audioexperience I OWN BASSBOSS AND SVS NOTHING MORE IS NEEDED!!! JBL AND KLIPSCH RSW15 BUT THEY THEY DIDN'T GET LOW ENOUGH!!!

would love to know the answer myself - Bluesound does not rate it for anything other than 8

terrific question - XLR's are not old school at all, they're simply not available on AVR's as the price point would not make it feasible. if you want XLR you will need to go with a dedicated preamplifier processor (AVP). if you're in the market please feel free to call me to discuss and we can find one that fits your needs. 203-808-6991 thanks for watching!

i think it's a great combo for HT in particular, not as much for 2 channel due to the form factor but it has dynamics for days! if you'd like to discuss further and/or would like to purchase please get in touch, thanks for watching!

yeah true that - should have put it in all 3 models

if you want to simply add speakers what you want is a Powernode shopaudioexperience.com/bluesound-powernode-wireless-streaming-integrated-amplifier/

what speaker are you referring to?

thanks! those are the Rubicon 6 Black Edition - excellent speakers ! the LS60W is a totally different speaker to the opticons so personally I would not be shopping them as an "upgrade" per se but rather if you want to simplify your setup and also integrate HDMI eARC then they're a great choice! if you'd like to purchase the KEF's I'd be glad to help you out 203-808-6991

@@audioexperience I can definitely see the draw of an all in one. Just got an NAD master series and it’s such a treat compared to separates. Get straight to the music and stay in there! Will definitely reach out if the KEFs are the route.

@@Mullster totally agree - there's a big time advantage to that sometimes - m33 or m10 v2? and absolutely! also, feel free to check out shopaudioexperience.com and audioexperience.net/brands for what is available

@@audioexperienceactually it’s the M32!

great question - these are usable in wireless mode only

for sure! we're KEF dealers as well but the barrier to entry in a like kind format of floor standing is nearly double the cost of these at 4k/pr. so it's an entirely different price point

I can't stand KEF with the metallic tinge to the tweeter. Very unnatural and annoying. Fail.

hi scott despite MANY other brands being this way, i’ve never heard kef to be bright - i can only guess it was paired with something to overemphasize the highs and even likely had them boosted via eq kef are extremely neutral with almost anything they’re paired with

paradigm is more neutral by comparison but less dynamic - both are phenomenal at their price point!

great question - the sub 1 is currently discontinued as it has been replaced by the persona sub. the capabilities of both pale in comparison to the sub 2 however certainly with, but also without its 240v power utilized. Paradigm Signature Sub 2 $10,999.99 10" (x6) 4500w ±3 dB 9Hz - 260Hz 7Hz extension Sealed 24.5" × 23.75" × 22.375" 230lbs.

@@audioexperience have you listened to the Sub1? I was thinking of getting it used for $900 and was wondering about the comparison. Can’t afford the new stuff so was just curious. Thanks .

@@alannguyen9687 - yes you need to hit the "read more" button - for 900 i would be dropping whatever you're doing and going there to buy it - that is a STEAL

what did your dealer have to say? this is something that they should be giving you insight into deciding if you were my client that would be 100% part of the conversation

@@audioexperience Dealer felt the 80 would be a better fit for my NAD M28. Due to the 80 being warmer than the 100. He felt the purifi amp might be to cool with 100. Paradigm direct was very enthusiastic about the 100. Lol. Problem with speakers is they take time to break in and get used to. I started to like my 40b better after a couple weeks.

I have the 40b and a 70lcr for my front. Like the 40b accuracy, would like to get a tower for a bit more mid bass.

these along with the Paradigm Premier 800F's are the go to choices in this price category and our clients love them

@@audioexperience what about the klipsch rp8000f ii?

@@MasterofPlay7 can't say - personally was never a fan of the bright sound that is (or was) klipsch - i've heard they've been making strides away from that aspect as of late

I have a pair of Dali ikon 6. How would the polks compare? Saw you had some Dali’s there so you’d be the best to ask! THANKS!

the polks are more dynamically capable but the dali's would be more capable of communicating detail - if you'd like to upgrade the ikon 6 to anything dali or polk please get in touch and i'd be happy to help find something for you !

i don't understand your comment

thanks can't please everyone - some like background music others don't

😂

yeah depends on what you prioritize - marantz and denon are the simplest but they don't perform as well as the anthems - i'm a dealer for almost all of them so no dog in the fight really. anthems are meant to be purchased from a dealer vs. the others are more consumer level also is another comparison.

so wild right?! probably the best value in hi-fi or close to it ! as a dealer of Dali products, the most expensive is not necessarily the best - in my honest opinion having heard them if upgrading from rubicon 6, i would not go epicon 6, rather i would go to rubicon 8 first and then straight to epicon 8 if budget allows.

that's a fantastic setup - thanks for sharing !

@@audioexperience I love your work with the audio quest connectors and the crimping on bulk AQ wiring. If own B&W(s) or KEF(s) bookshelf on stands you owe yourself (and spouse) a favor to use AQ cables to connect them to the processor, integrated whatever. The beauty and stability the add to biwire speaker rears is just so amazing. You will stay mesmerized to your speaker arrangements and sound for hours.

@@chebrubin appreciate that! Audio Experience is a B&W dealer as well as a KEF dealer, so i couldn't agree more - they're phenomenal at what they do !

Right? This seems like a side grade at best.

the polks were the direct comparison to the 800F's at the price point that he was shopping

@@razmspiele25 100% - they're very comparable in price and performance as well - both excellent for the ~2k range per pair!

@@audioexperience100% agreed. I think the confusion lies in that he has both at the same time. Seems that the Polks were already there giving the impression that the customer didn’t like them and was replacing them with the Paradigms.

you mean the mount instructions? yes they are ridiculously poor

lol idk i figured why not - if it gave you a laugh i'd say that's worth it !

🤷‍♂️🤔

@@Turtleback8024 youtube is for education, entertainment, or both - if my videos elicits one, the other, or both that's a success to me :)

@audioexperience *_"Education & entertainment?",_* 🤔 I must have missed something.😏

LOL ikr? he really loves fishing and so do i so we went on chatting about it while i set up his demo

Vicoustic ;)

being a fan of of gene and personally hearing a difference between cables are not mutually exclusive. thanks for watching.

here's my take...for the price, the JTR is an unreal performer, however it's a massive unsightly box. i would not consider it under any circumstances to be used in any application other than behind an AT screen. by comparison, the paradigm despite being very expensive, is the smallest AND the most powerful sub on the market that i'm aware of while being super sexy - it can go anywhere with how good it looks and how small it is sub 2 ±3 dB 9Hz - 260Hz 4500w continuous w/ 9000w peak 230lb. 24.5" × 23.75" × 22.375" 4kulf ±3 dB 10.5-125hz 4000w continuous 265lb. 41″ x 20.5″ x 39.5″

@@audioexperience thanks for the response one last question what wud u say is ur top 5 best HT brand for atmos to go with the sub2? I was thinking either b&w 800 series, McIntosh, sonus, arendal, or kef flagship speakers. I would throw in focal but they don’t have atmos as far as I’m concerned cuz I jus found out b&w does a few days ago

@@dsgbroly2969 yw! i am going to unashamedly go with the brands that I carry in no particular order - paradigm / b&w / dali / kef and then add in sonus faber for the 5th - i would love to carry them i just don't *yet* if you're interested in planning and purchasing a high end atmos theater, we provide consultatio, design, product, and installation depending on where you live - info in description!

@@audioexperience ok Ik I said tht was the last question but this one is. Which ones did u like listening to the most? N Ik they all bring something different to the table when it comes to SQ.

@@dsgbroly2969 no worries! unfortunately, i can't really answer that in any helpful or definitive way without having an understanding of your personal preferences in sonic characteristics among a great deal of other factors. if this is something you'd like to explore in detail to provide the information to me to give you such advice, i do provide consultation at $150.00/hr. if that's something you're interested in please let me know.

polk reserve R700 are some of the BEST speakers on the market for under $2500 - they share much of the technology from the Legend line at a massive discount - if you're in CT I'd love to have you come for a listen. if you're interested in purchasing please contact me sales@audioexperience.net

no, the music was added in iMovie. if you were listening to this track through the 100F it would sound MUCH better. thanks for watching and sub if you've not already!

an AVR under a grand is going to be a consumer level budget device simply because of how many things it has to do to fit that price point. more power does not always equal more expensive, nor does it necessarily equate to higher performance, that's for sure.

hi jordan thanks for watching and for your question - I would go with the audioquest nrgy3 for the 540 and the nrgz3 for the 740 and 1140 all with the C13 connector to fit the appropriate male end on the AVR if you're interested in any of these cables shoot me an email and i can get you set up ! sales@audioexperience.net

LOL yes thanks to the way i built the showroom with suspended walls in rubber isomax clips but the main floor which was built prior without those things RATTLES like crazy!

@@audioexperience here is video from SUB2 in action? :) btw. Do you know the Spec of Tech YT channel where the owner tests the most powerful subwoofers on the market? But he couldn't get SUB 2 for testing because so few distributors have SUB 2 in their company. :(

@@petersharps3923 yeah i've seen some of his videos and yes the Sub 2 is quite rare indeed!

yeah outlaw makes some good stuff! i remember looking into their subs years ago and they were always big performance per dollar

totally - the persona's NEED a mellow amp like mcintosh, classe, prima luna, marantz, anthem, etc. and then they're absolutely stunning. FWIW, i'm a paradigm dealer and i don't recommend them with anything else unless folks have a legitimate hearing impairment where there's a loss of high end hearing in which case you'll need to compensate by adding some sizzle lol

i haven't heard the A5 but just remember that any speaker can sound VERY different depending on its amp pairing and/or the room, among other lessor factors so it's quite difficult to make a final statement but if you hear both speakers in the same room on the same equipment then that's a much better scenario and what's even better than that is hearing in your own room on two different amp types such as tube and class d etc. but to my ears i'd take rubicon over A3 and/or S3 MK2 any day for any price

@@audioexperience one of the thing that makes the Magicos so good is they sound good with so many amps, they sound amazing with Boulder, Gryphon, luxman, constellation, solution, McIntosh even sounded amazing with the Dynalab Md309

@@louv4437 Add Pass Labs. to the list

that's a bummer - 20+ years is quite impressive though for longevity especially for such an inexpensive amp such as anthem if you need anything let me know

hi, you can disassemble the plug and manually check to ensure proper contact. that's the best way to go about it.
