Glad to heard that! :)

When considering purchasing something online without seeing it in person, people often find it useful to see the items on the video from all angles. This videos are not intended to convey the sound of the speakers.

@@AudioNostalgia ah yes DIY routes, I shouldve known, from a brief look at this video I can tell that's probably the best for 8c, idk If i can go that route though, kudos btw.

@@donnywidodo8874 thanks. Yes, DIY it’s great but requires a lot of time if you decide to build something complex. I guess you already have 8cs and looking for some stands for them?

@@AudioNostalgia yes, it's on the way. i tempted to buy their stand but i dont like their implementation of the spikes. please someone tell them!! lol

Having multiple speakers to play with is definitely enjoyable if you are this way inclined. Never heard the Heresy IV so I cannot comment on these.

I also have a pair of 662.

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Taste is a subjective matter...

Not sure if I'd agree with your statement. If an amplifier is too bright, than it is either a poor design or it was designed purposely to colour the sound in a certain way. To my, job of an amplifier is to amplify the signal - nothing more or nothing less. As a matter of fact, in a properly designed blind test with modern well designed transistor amplifiers, it next to impossible to tell them apart.

@@AudioNostalgia all amplifiers has a voicing otherwise all would sound the same . Yamaha are true to source and you and me know bad recording sound bad harsh compressed and shrill specially with revealing speakers.

Hey! Very different sounding speakers. I personally replaced my Yamaha NS-1000M with Harbeth M30.1 because I like their sound more. I then replaced M30.1 with M40.1 as I liked their sound even more. So although I've not compared the NS1000 with M40.1 side by side, I'm pretty sure I'd be leaning towards the M40.1 in my room. You can read my reviews of all 3 speakers here if you are interested: audionostalgia.co.uk/yamaha-ns-1000-m-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/harbeth-m30-1-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/harbeth-m40-1-review/ All the best, Shem

Thank you for you kind words. I must have spent about 80h doing the review of 8cs, taking and editing photos, etc. so you words are very much appreciated! Yes, and I've noticed a correlation where the less people know about acoustics and loudspeaker design the more they are willing to give advice about it! :) All the best, Shem

I would not rely on KZbin videos to draw any conclusions bout the sound. There is no substitute for trying them yourself in your own environment.

My subjective reviews of both are available here: audionostalgia.co.uk/kef-ls50-wireless-ii-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/kef-ls60-wireless-review/

Thanks. Not sure about open baffle. These are nice speakers from 'nostalgia' point of view, but sound-wise, not necessarily.

Thanks. Just bear in mind that you can draw very little conclusion from the KZbin videos, especially when we're taking about sound quality.

I've made them.

I've made them.

Ohh Peter, why is it that people with little knowledge are always the first ones to give others advice? I guess you are not familiar with Dunning-Kruger effect. What objective evidence is supporting the statements that you are making - or are you just quoting Magnepan marketing materials? The claims you make, sound like the folklore that you see people repeating in forums rather than objective truths. There is a body of academic research from the last 40 years focused around loudspeakers, acoustics, and psychoacoustics. We do have a decent objective understanding of what loudspeaker parameters are responsible for our perception of realistic sound. Are you familiar with any of the work by Martin Colloms, Alton Everest, Sean Olive, or Floyd Toole? And regarding the comment about the left wall treatment - what made you say that? You are clearly a big fan of Magnepan speakers, so you should be familiar with the radiation pattern of dipole speakers. Magnepas (being dipole speakers) project very little sound to the sides and most of their sound front and back. As such, the side wall treatment is more of a priority for conventional speakers rather than Magnepans.

@@AudioNostalgia Nice try from you searching for arguments. You wanna impress readers with that. Measurements and other scientific talking will convince a lot of people. But let me ask you a few questions. Did you ever see or even hear a musical instrument? And a little more difficult: have you ever heard of the formant? You are wrong about me having any commercial connection with Magnepan. I am a pro Conservatory musician, working for 45 years every day with acoustical instruments. And as a hobby busy with hifi from the beginning. What pro studies did you do? Thanks for your attention.
