My room isn’t a typical rectangle, but measures between 17 and 20 feet wide, and is about 29‘ long with 9’7” ceiling. You can always review my old thread “wilson & arc for me”, scrolling quickly through pages 4 - 7 to get a good idea of how my room came to be. Not so relevant to this thread though, other than I’d love to hear those new M7s in my room. I think they’d be a perfect fit.
Not sure why you would infer that from my comment? My thought was even much lesser electronics than Boulder, Gryphon and DD would work fine, just so they are high quality amps. Any top tier amp as you mention will work fine, but a lot less expensive brands could work great as well.
That's a BS comment. It is the exact opposite of what I said. You can use any good amp from any brand and one stereo amp if you choose and you can make good sound with the M7s.
XV. 1. I don’t see a signature on your post. Someone told me that you are a dealer. If that’s the case you do know it’s appropriate to list on WBF that you are a dealer and not just say normal user, right?
That's exactly what I meant but my English sucks, so thanks for the help.
For me personally it’s more about matching than it is spending big $$$
I guess I'm trying to understand why a person spending $375K on a speaker would not spend a commensurate level on the rest of the system? The suggestion that a lower cost amp would be "fine" is an interesting reference. What we see at shows and dealers are cables that cost well over $100k alone. Would you not want the "best" of everything at this level? Seems to me we're talking well over a million dollars for a M7 system. Furthermore can "system matching" overcome $$$$. In other words can we find a perfectly matched system with a $100K speaker that can out perform the A-7? I think system matching is done within each cost class.
while it is now possible to have a very good pre and amp combo at a reasonable price, loudspeakers are following the opposite curve. What do you think?
For an example, I sold a pair of M7s. Plus the pre/amp which the customer already owned plus his front end the customer's system is around $700K. ANY other $400Kish speaker is going to cost at least $600K or $700K for the entire system. Not sure what is so perplexing about this.
Probably so, but I have $10K speakers that I drive with a $10K integrated ( 4 watt 2A3) and I love the sound. Lot's of good lower cost speakers out there along with the sky high priced speakers.
HI Ron, I will be able to try the Kaguras with the M7s sometime in Q1. I believe overall the M7s will respond to more powerful amplifiers than the Kaguras. Although if someone has a small room and listens at very moderate levels the Kagura/M7 combo might be an interesting combo.
Depends on the size of the room and the buyer's personal preference.OK a dilemma
1 million budget
M9+ $250K electronics
Or M7+ $625K electronics ?
I would actually be interested to hear M7 + dual Titans vs M9 by itself.
That would be interesting. It might have to do with the size of the room. Good subs do so much for the overall sound of a system that if I had to bet I might lay my $$$ down on me personally prefer the M7/Titan set up.
I agree entirely. Particularly that my own blind ranking would be personal preference for M7 + dual titans over M9 by themselves.
