Ehh, and today they work again. Maybe there some internal fuse that resets?

My REL R328 subwoofer suddenly died with a loud bang yesterday. They blew the main fuses, but now the bass of my Vantages is silent apart from a faint hiss/hum. Panels power up fine, and my Lyngdorf amplifier seems ok as well. Have not been able to test the subwoofer output of the amp, though...

Careful - Nextel is exactly the toxic material. There is a reason nobody use it anymore

Well, investing in a sub can be part of the solution to your room issue - it was for me. The optimal placement of the panels is most likely not the optimum placement in order to achieve an even in-room bass response. That's where a good (sadly not cheap!) sub can help. As many others here, I can...

Glad to hear that a new amp can drive the bass of the Theos better. Which amp did you buy?

My amplifier doesn't have Audyssey - it has Lyngdorf's own room correction, which is called RoomPerfect. It does indeed include the sub in the room-dsp, so I don't need the REL to do it by itself.

I am sorry to hear that the bass of the Theos are not at the same level as the Purities you had before. Perhaps the tonal balance is a tad brighter du to the larger panel? I would encourage you to experiment with placement and toe-in (I have a thread about toe-over that may be interesting for...

I have now been using this "toe-over" for some days. Watching normal TV, sports, drama ad action movies. I've listened to a wide range of music, including Handel's Mesias and Concerto Grossos, Bachs Christmas Oratory, Beethoven Sonatas for Cello and piano, Holst 'The Planets, Bob Dynal...

I am using Vantages, which are, I guess, the little brother to the Spires, and I also use a sub. Mine is a REL, and it works really well. I let the RoomPerfect in my Lyngdorf TDAI2170 take care of the sub/main speaker integration. Regarding the sweet-spot, I started today experimenting with...

It seems to be a bit of a balancing act. Too much toe-over, and the sound gets congested. Now I have them so that I can just see the outside of the bass-box. That seems to work fine. There's a handball match on the telly tonight. That will be a good test for wide seating with ambient hall sound...

I have started experimenting with toe-over in stead of toe-in. By toe-over, I mean toeing the speakers in so far that they cross in from rather than behind the seating position. The idea comes from this article: Setup of WG Speakers.pdf (libinst.com). Initial results seem fine. When sitting...

Congratulations on your purchase - I am sure you will be happy with them. Regarding amps, I would encourage you to audition a Lyngdorf amp with Roomperfect. Depending on your room, it can make a dramatic improvement. It did for me. The room measurement is a bit tricky to get dialed in though...

I'm with Roberto on this one. A good as they are, the Purity is not really in the same league as the Theos.

Dear Roberto, It has been a long time since I posted here, but this recording, I can't leave unnoticed. I simply don't know where to start, so I will not try to diminish it with my words. I urge all of you out there to listen to it!

Thanks for the update - it is very good to hear!

Reviving an old thread here, I would like to know if you still use the Lyngdorff, and if you ever experienced any problems with it.

Get familiar with the speakers over a month time. Find out what you would like to improve sonically by buying a new amp; less harsh, more headroom, more dynamic, better soundstage, more controoled bass, more powerful bass,... Then decide upon a budget, and borrow a couple of different amos...

I suppose 15 refers to the width of the 15 inch panel, and perhaps A means Active bass module. Perhaps we will see a Renaissance series more or less consisting of 15A, 15P, 12A, 12P, 10A, 10P to replace the whole lineup from Theos to Summit X and above. I would like to see that happen!

I think I will start saving up for a replacement of my Vantages! I hope they make a smaller version with dual 8 inch woofers to replace the Ethos. And I really like the looks. The apparent boxyness combined with that slight curvature of the bass cabinets side panes - Awesome! Video interview...

Good that you moved the speakers out into the room. You did not really (or did I miss it?) write much about your budget, so the advices you receive are a bit all over the place. I think, that the most important improvement in an open-floor layout such as yours is the addition of a pair f high...
