Yep, you can't send a 6 inch woofer out to do a man's job.The Onkyo speakers have two 6". I could stand bigger speakers from a sound perspective, but I rather like the small footprint the Radians have.
Some sunny day I'll build some cabs for that pair of Altec 604Es I salvaged. Then I'll be in the 15" club. (grin)I am surprised there are more people running 15s over 12s.
Attaboys.
My subs are smaller than my woofers lol.. I should almost just pull them out since they are not even turned on.
I bought a pair of those Adcom GFA555 to power the main system, one for the JBL L100t3s and the other powering a pair of Vandersteen Threes I picked up for a song. Funny thing is it all gets little use these days. The Magnavox 150s from 1957 (biamp tubes at 30 watts into a pair of L80t3s) power my second system in our spare bedroom upstairs.Honestly, I am pretty impressed with these 20 year old CV's. They sound good! Like.. for everything that I listen to anyway.. which is quite a bit. The mids and highs sound better than my Def Techs, Energy's, and Tannoys. And then the bass.. no subs needed.. but they are nice to have for the very bottom. Still not sure if I really need a GFA-555.. my 535II is pretty decent. But it is nice to have. Honestly, I like these so much that I am considering buying a new pair from their website. I have mine on silicon feet, but they are large at 41x16.5x16.5 and about 90lbs each..
I kind of want another 555, but my speakers are pretty easy to drive.. but they can take some power so I will always be on the fence until I get anotherI bought a pair of those Adcom GFA555 to power the main system, one for the JBL L100t3s and the other powering a pair of Vandersteen Threes I picked up for a song.
