  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Are Bose Companion 3 speakers considered to be any good? Or is Bose for the consumer/prosumer market? Thanks

While I do in fact own a set of Bose Acoustimass speakers, in the 10 years since I bought them I will NEVER buy Bose again. They are over-priced consumer speakers. They are definitely NOT prosumer in the least. If you are looking for something to do reference audio with, I'd use almost anything before Bose.
 
Thanks, Morning and Robert for recommending BM15A.
By the way, I realized that Dynaudio has a series called Air. It is twice the price of BM series. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I haven't had the opportunity to audition the Air series. My impression is that they are designed for studio use where the primary function is highly detailed mixing and mastering in a control room designed specifically for that purpose.

I have to agree with Rick. These are not reference type audio monitors. They are "hyped" to make a good impression but not necessarily have an accurate sound output.

Rick earlier comment about getting to a dealer that has a flat listening room to audition monitors is a good idea. Having said that, if you check around for reviews you can also get info on what other pro audio guys like and dislike.
 
Hi, Rick, actually, I realized that Adam is selling A7X instead of A7. But I found out B&H is selling both, and A7 is USD100 cheaper.
What do you say, A7 or A7X?
Anyone has experience with A7X?
Thanks in advance.
 
I have not tried the A7X, but reading the difference between them on the website, they sound like they just improved the components further:

Given how much I love the A7s, I cannot imagine how these sound. I'd assume the bass response might be a bit more with the new woofers.
