Which speaker would you like to be reviewed? (community interest thread)

[mastachio]

Now that Focal has reached out for the Solo6 review is there any chance of seeing a review of the Trio 6 or 11? I’m using the 6 as L&R and the 11 for my center

 

[amirm]

Let me ask....

For the Trio 11 a thorough set of 3rd party measurement set already exists

personally I would prioritize models for which non such measurement sets exist.

Sweet rig.

Sweet rig.

Thanks man!

 

[isostasy]

I don't recall having one. It is discontinued now as well.

Thanks Amir, I didn't realize it is discontinued which is a shame as I came across a copy of the manual which contains a frequency response graph:

10dB scale and no mention of how it is made unfortunately but looks like it could have been very good for the price and size.

n.b. I found it was here you said you had one.

There was one at the Pacific Audio Show last month. The designer/founder was there. I almost walked up to him to ask for a review sample. But then listened to it and its issues were so apparent that I knew it would measure poorly. So didn't ask.

Do you know what model he had playing? I love the sound I get from the Pendragons I own and having a speaker that truly let me ditch the sub I was using made me really appreciate their low end extension.

Mine do not have the 7 tweeter array though. Instead they only use a 3 tweeter array:

Oops. I confused them with Nola with that sound comment. The company was not there but another brand was and the owner had this one:

The measures I've seen of the home one were good, not great. These are speakers that for sure are at home in a studio with treated side walls, not so much elsewhere.

New here, purchased the Polk XT20 and KEF Q150 based on Erin's videos and very happy with them. Then the Monitor Audio Bronze 100 6g which I intended as an upgrade over the Polks. To me they sound worse and would love to see an analysis from Erin.

Have also been really intrigued by the new Cerwin Vega LA line

I'd like to find a reasonably priced DAP that has good measurements, as it's hard to find an option other than a phone with a dongle...maybe the IBasso DX180

As for speakers I'd love to see more PA type speakers, they seem like good options for home theater
