Mine are using standard mahogany veneer.My room actually is too dense with so many stuffs , so probably wouldn't allow my speakers to sound their best. Perhaps in the future I could have bigger room just for my audio gear.
Seems my photo upload from photobucket is failed...Url from the image is inserted but still no picts appeared....Dunno how to post it correctly.
Copy the Photobucket link called "Direct" and then put [ URL ] before the link and [ /URL ] after the link (but with no spaces before/after the brackets).
A direct A/B comparison will be forthcoming, but I want to give the Dentons some more time to break in first. I've had the Dentons in my system for a week or so, and I really haven't been missing the LS50's, so that tells you something.
I run focal 826w's in my main system. Same tweeter and I find it excellent. No tizziness and excellent dispersion.
Felix, none of your images show at all. Photobucket is the very worst website ever. After many years of their terrible service, I switched to Flickr. Things are incredibly fast and reliable. Never a single problem since.
That's what I've been noticing! Yeah, Photobucket used to be good, but now it sucks. I've been using Imgur, and it works OK, but the interface is confusing. It doesn't know if it wants to be an image-hosting site or a social media site. I think I'll explore Flickr.
PhotoBucket hasn't been good in years. Honestly, I have never seen such a high-profile website exhibit such terrible functionality or uptime. People on many other msg boards complain constantly about it. 9/10 times, I can't log in successfully as it times out. I therefore can't do anything (add, delete, edit, grab links). My pictures wouldn't show up half the time, etc. At some point, I basically exploded and had enough so I plowed through a couple of highly frustrating days of getting my stuff and gladly closing my account. Since I opened a Flickr account, it's been 100% satisfactory... except for the interface which I find confusing. Uploading content is not intuitive but doing a quick Google search for what you want to do on the website yields quick tutorials. It was worth it. My pics always show up, I can always log in, can always download/upload, edit, share, etc. With not a single issue, ever. I'll never go back.
No go. What you have to do after you select the Share function is select the Embed top menu in the pop-up window. You copy that ridiculously long link, paste in Notepad and remove everything after the .JPG extension (or whatever the extension of your picture is) and everything before the HTTPS part of the link. For instance, I start with this (I changed HTTPS to HXXPS for the sole purposes of being able to show the link) ; <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="hxxps://www.flickr.com/photos/144376522@N02/32109122881/in/dateposted-public/" title="20170110_081326"><img src="hxxps://c2.staticflickr.com/1/737/32109122881_291029e2dd_z.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="20170110_081326"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I also highlighted the actual link in red. So you remove everything but this and you use that link here to show the pic.
In comparing the PSB 600i speakers I have to the new Dentons, there are some pros but also a con. Pros ; - Non-screaming mids which makes everything sounds MUCH more natural! - Textured laidback treble making music listening pleasant and does not induce ear fatigue - Wide soundstage. - Don't need my head in a vice to be in the sweet spot. - More efficient than my previous speakers. Con ; - Missing "slam" or body from my previous speakers. It's a bit of an unfair fight in this regard as the PSB is a full loudspeaker whereas the Dentons are bookshelf-sized but there's *body* missing. For all of their faults, the PSB really got along great with my Energy S10.3 subwoofer. The pairing made things wonderful on the low-end that made them sound HUGE. Unfortunately, everything else about the PSBs wasn't great, hence my purchasing of the Dentons. So I'm finding the lack of body and bass to be the sole downside of using the Dentons. They are a mere 6" from the wall, if that. I've toyed with crossover within my amp and changed it from 80 to 100 hertz, tried increasing the sub's volume but it just makes things boomy past a certain point. Love everything about the Dentons except for that so I don't want to give them up but am wondering how I could fix it so that I have the best of both worlds ; the synergy of the PSB/sub marriage in the low-end while retaining everything else about the Dentons.
I use shutterfly for pics I take with my camera and Imgur for pics I take with iphone. Never have problems uploading pics.
Bleh...! Spent my entire intelligence to upload these...Can't do it without Strat-Mangler's direction &the help of my desk top. At the moment I still couldn't describe specifically what is Denton's strength beside : it has a good overall tonal ballance. For presenting instrument detail maybe some other speaker will beat Denton. Noticed to give them space to breathe , only that's the one I can't give them right now.
My room is a mere 8 x 12, so the bass performance I'm getting may not be comparable due to environmental reasons... but with the Dentons I haven't switched on my sub at all. I suspect that the rear-ported Dentons will provide more bass and overall body for you if you can possibly get them more than 6" out from the wall. They are not designed for that kind of placement, the ports can't do their job. Mine are 3.5' away from the wall behind them.
Strange. The manufacturer's manual states the opposite ; bringing them closer to the wall should provide more bass, not less. Love the Totoro, by the way.
To some degree, that is correct.. but you're in effect blocking the ports by having them so close to the wall. I would expect that the imaging is suffering too. Thanks! My daughter made that by hand!
I have a set of these, they sit on bookshelves no more than 8-10" from the wall (only placement option in my room) and they sound fantastic. No issues with bass response/bloating or imaging that I can tell. The sales advisor who I talked to at Music Direct recommended them when I called in and explained what I was after as far as speakers go. He said they were pretty forgiving as far as placement goes.
6" is enough to block ports? But they're so small! No issues with imaging. I just wish to had more body to them. They do midrange and treble beautifully. My sub is really musical and nice but it only goes so high and the Dentons don't do much until almost 100 hertz. Very cool. I bought one for my wife. I introduced her to Miyazaki's work. Currently, I'm on a Ghibli binge and have re-watched Kiki's Delivery Service, Laputa, and (yesterday) The Cat Returns. Too bad he retired but the guy's in his 80s, I think! Unfortunately, I really didn't care for his last movie, The Wind Rises which was like 2 movies in one ; a surreal crazy dream world and a really boring day-to-day uneventful life. And the protagonist has no faults whatsoever. He's great at everything, attractive, everybody loves him, etc. Not a deep movie. A big disappointment, but what a career Miyazaki has had. Kiki will forever be mu favorite of his. Also refreshing to see a movie with no bad guys in it. Really crazy how rare that is.
I love those films! It helps that I can understand some Japanese, so I watch them in Japanese, with English subtitles for backup.
So, since Dentons are still for sale (at $499), are the Dentons one can buy now not a part of the "limited production run" which is "exhausted"? Are the current Dentons in some way different from the exhausted-limited-production-run Dentons?
