Description

Originally started with the MF CDP, and that got the ball rolling. Added the MF 308 next. It took me an entire year of speaker auditioning before I bought the WB Curves. There are still things I'd like to change. Power cords, shotgun speaker wire. Obvious problems are speaker placement and room treatments. There is a big picture window along one wall and we have bare hardwood floors. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. For now, I'm busy rediscovering all my CD's.

    • Musical Fidelity A 3.2
    A decent CD player. Open, airy, enough detail, but a bit on the cool and laid back side.
    • Musical Fidelity A 308 Integrated
    I agree with Soundstage.com's review.
    • Wilson Benesch Curve
    This is a great speaker...and one of the best kept
    • Straightwire Rhapsody II
    Bought these on A'gon.
    • Straightwire Rhapsody S
    Loads more detail once these were hooked up. Bang for the buck!

Thanks for the reply Eyeballman,

My new room is much smaller than yours floor area wise. It is 14' x 14' x 18' (high ceiling) and is completly open to a small dining room. How do you think the Curves will perform in this environment? Would the Discoveries be a better choice? (remember I have a subwoofer)

As for adding bass to your system, I highly recommend one of Velodyne's Digital Drives Series Subwoofers. They can integrate into pretty much any system in any room. Their digital EQ is the highest quality I have ever seen and you can literally "see" the difference on your TV.

Could you do me a favor and post some more photos of your system? I'd love to see more photos of your speakers from different angles. They're gorgeous!

Hi Eyeballman,

I love your simple and clean setup. The view is fantastic as well. You must have hard time leaving that room. I had a quick question.

I was wondering if you've heard the Wilson Benesch A.C.T.2 loudspeakers when you were choosing loudspeakers. If so, could you compare their upper and mid range sound please? I have a good subwoofer, so the lowest bass is not an issue.

If money wasn't an issue, would you personally buy the Wilson Benesch A.C.T.2 loudspeakers or the Wilson Benesch Curve loudspeakers and a quality subwoofer for the same price?

Thanks,

spacekadet
