How does ARF-27 compare with sound of ARF-32 or SE brand?
77648
The ARF-27 and ARF-32 sound essentially the same. The main difference between those two models is in the mic mounting systems. The ARF-27's system is basic and the ARF-32 has more adjustments. Either of them is larger and more effective than the SE models.

if I were you I would get the sennhieser 350 se only if you have a sound card I just got sennheiser 350 se and they sound great. everyone can hear my mic. I installed a sound blaster 3d recon 5.1 surround sound card . and they sound great you can hear on each side . front and back . good bass good treble only if you have a sound card installed

Answering with the caveat that everyone is different, what sounds clear and airy to one person may sound over-bright and fatiguing to another. If you can, listen to both before you buy. To me, the se846 sounds much better than the se535 -- I'm not a bass-head, but I like the punch the se846's driver gives the lows. The mids are solid and well-articulated while the high's are smoothed out just enough to take the edge off of them (I listen with the blue "balanced" filters in). To me, the se535 sounds ok bordering on muddy for the lows, decent mids, and with ok highs bordering on tinny. I mentioned the filters -- the se846 comes with a set of three you can remove and replace to suit your ears or music: white "bright", blue "balanced", and black "warm". Bright shifts the response towards the highs (for more analytical listeners), warm shifts the response towards the lows (for the bass-heads). With the se535, you just get the factory tuning. Hope this helps, and happy listening :)

I cannot say with regards to side by side, but simply put the 820 is really a 3 way with true sounding base (you have a high section a mid and a low) and the 830 just does not sound as good in terms of full spectrum due to the smaller woofer and less crossover frequencies from mid to low. Take the lower price you cannot go wrong. I hope this helps some in the decision.

I owned both. Bought the MB42X first, then returned them and got the Clubs. The MB42X sounded like something was missing in the mids. It sounded hollow. The Clubs have a fuller sound and I much prefer them to the MB42X !! Sound is a preference so to each their own. I tried adjusting bass and treble with both and the Clubs with no adjustment really sound the best. I'm not a big fan of the Lepai amp, it's only good for half volume so get the Topping amp even though it's more expensive.

I was using the maverick audio A1 not sold here on Amazon. Drove them very smoothly with little to no distortion at higher volumes. But yes I've heard good things about the N22 as well. Just a suggestion, if you are in the market for small bookshelves, check out the Cambridge audio S30s. I traded my P4s in for them and haven't looked back. Larger midrange cone and overall more efficient speakers for a similar price.Take care!

I have not personally compared, however here is an article that may help answer some questions: http://www.head-fi.org/t/673186/nuforce-mmp-review Michael @ Kraft Street Audio

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi M., sorry I didn't get right back to you...Yes, I'm surprised that people aren't commenting. Sound is not an insignificant element! Soooo... Does the 210 sound more "lively" and "present"... more Sony-like!? :-) If so, I certainly should have bought THAT one recently when I went to Sangean (El Monte, CA) distribution and swapped 400's, after I lost FM reception on my old one!Thanks,Alan

Weak. You should Check the cheaper model (se 215). It Will be so more fun to ear to

It is better, but be sure your getting a 231. There is a. 231s that is silver in color . The faders are stout and smooth, and dbx is great. There is a 31 band eq from bbe that I like a lot as well, same price point as the dbx.

Hello,The closest competitor from Lepai would be the LP-2020A+. They use a similar chipset so they sound very similar, the Lepai also has slightly more rated output power and tone controls. Of the two the Lepai is a better seller due to the flexibility, but we have also have great luck with the Dayton.Sincerely,MattParts Express Technical Support Team

I have both M-L CLS-2Z's and Prodigy's. The voicing on the KEF's and the Prodigy's is very similar given the different technologies involved. The Prodigy's have a more absolute flat response and degree of resolution. The KEF's have better imaging, which is just a matter of physics, and they have a bit of upper end euphonic fluff that makes them seem more present. I love both and I love when someone comes into the listening room and asks which speakers are playing!

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

I had the rb-51 and the sound is more balanced and the build quality feels better to me. Just my two cents

I own the HE-500 and the Lyr with the NOS Tungsram ECC85 tube upgrade and the bass is simply incredible, very deep and well controlled without stepping on the clear midrange or treble with great depth to the soundstage. I do not own the HiFiMan EF-5, so I can't compare them however, one of the reviewers on Amazon (Herbert York) who bought the HiFiMan EF-5 said in his comments that he also bought a Lyr to compare and kept the Lyr stating that there was no comparison between the two. Go to that page on Amazon and look for his name and then read the comments.
