Hi Antonio! I do like the B 800 series, but both Focal & Sonus Faber make excellent stand-mounts too. I must confess I've never heard of the Reynauds - are they utterly esoteric? I stand by my personal experience that stand-mount speaker usually produce the better sound stage in a small listening room: floor-standing speakers tend to work best in larger spaces, & often need to be spaced away from any adjacent walls to give their best sound, which again is not really practical in a modest-sized room... I hope that you find some speakers that suit the kind of music you prefer, & your own musical appreciation! Dave :cool: P.S. It is an irritation that the forum software does not let you know you've exceeded its maximum number of words for a post until you think that you've finished - it's happened to me a couple of times & it can be difficult to prune your outpouring without losing the flow.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] FS : Logitech Transporter
Hi! I'm fully stocked with a Logitech Trans-Nav + an original Slim Devices one which I bought s/hand in 2009 (when it was probably already 4 years old - I've used it practically every day since & the sound quality is indistinguishable from the 2 unused SE's which I imported this year from the US early this year, & the all-black "Trans Nav" for which I paid £450 earlier this year on eBay, so I think you should achieve your asking price. Whether you actually use the magic knob or not, it does look a hell of a lot better than the cheap plastic blanking plate Logitech put on the SE'S (I'm pretty sure that was after Sean Adams had parted company with them, lol). It might help your sale if you let the folks know whether it's all black, silver with black buttons, or all-silver... Hope you get a result!

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Buying a transporter these days
Just to keep everyone guessing, I would personally recommend floorstanding speakers for music and there's very little need for a subwoofer..

I thank you for the lesson about electro-acoustics, physics, hifi, electricity and much more ! I'll will not discuss with you about the points you mentioned, if I say I understood everything, I would be lying. I also thank you for your excellent and typically English humour. Most of the cultures have a weak sense of humour, especially regarding the understanding of the "second degré". Going back to your excellent post, I understand that your advise is to buy a pair of good stand-mount speakers with two subwoofers (second hand is wiser), put a thick rug on the floor, damp my piano, and maybe also change the excellent porto to a Jack Daniels. My first intention was to buy a pair of floor-standing, just because I thought it gives a better sound and I prefer the look of it, but then with your advice I'll try some stand-mount speakers, preferably from B, it seems to be your favourite brand in England, certainly for a good reason, while here Focal is very popular and Jean-Marie Reynaud is famous but also more elitist. And later I'll buy the subwoofers. I don't think my better half (nice expression) would be happy if I spend all the money for the holidays in the hifi this year. Regarding the Transporter, I decided to buy one, as I said in a previous post ! :) Antonio LMS 7.9.0 on Linux Mageia 5 and RPI 3 1 SB3, 2 radio, 1 touch Plugins : Trackstat, Smartmix, MusicIP, ...

Actually, I finally decided to buy one of these Transporter SE, because I always wanted to have one, so I was a bit frustrated. It's a very good DAC (from what I read), and it will also be a back-up to my touch (or my touch will be the back-up). The SE version is at a very good price, giving the fact it's new and it's quite the same as the one with the knob, which I don't really need. It will be enough to treat my frustration... :rolleyes: I recently also bought a new radio, to have a back-up to the one I already had. I'm only missing now the boom and the duet, but I don't really love them anyway. LMS 7.9.0 on Linux Mageia 5 and RPI 3 1 SB3, 2 radio, 1 touch Plugins : Trackstat, Smartmix, MusicIP, ...

Hi all! I'm much relieved that no-one has taken issue with any of the points that I have made about loudspeaker design, room acoustics & the art of selecting the most appropriate type of speaker for your listening space, which I must confess that I wrote seriously, but "off the top of my head".
