In Reply to: Curiosity Killed the Katz.... posted by gfederys on September 7, 2011 at 06:07:27:
My room is 12' x 13'
The 2A3 is a DIY I built based on the JE Labs linked below
100 db is pushing it pretty good, but probably has more to do with the cube I'm in and the 4 watt amp and not the speakers
I listen to rock (Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Radiohead, Ben Harper), jazz (classic like Miles Davis, et al), jazz vocals (Norah Jones, Tierney Suttoin, Karin Allyson), and other stuff (Ryan Adams, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Chris Isaak). All of that sounds great.
Downside is that I can't really crank Zeppelin TOO loud. Also, you get what you pay for - I can't complain about the bass, clarity, imaging, but I also can't claim that it's better than much more expensive systems in those areas.
The upside is that I can listen to it all day long; very smooth. The Katz especially disappear and get pretty holographic.
When I booted out the Klipsch I just sat there and wondered what the heck I was killing myself for over the previous 1.5 years.
