11/16/2023 0 Comments Bg radia z7 for saleI am beyond confused now and just as I think I have decided, I read more reviews and change my mind. After reading way too many reviews, the common monitors people have written praise about are: Kali LP-6/IN-5, Genelec 8020D/8030C, JBL LSR 305P, Focal Shape 40/50, Adam A5X/A7X, and the Neumann KH 80/120. Since I haven't auditioned any yet, it's paralysis by analysis. I also like the simple one unit design, the ability to switch from headphones to monitors with a switch, excellent amp and DAC, and I am supporting a company with stellar CS that are making fairly priced products.Īctive Monitors ($1100 to $1600) - Now here's the problem. I need closed back due to the fact when I return to the office part time, I sit in a open-style floorplan and won't be able to use open back headphones.ĭAC/Amp ($400) - JDS Labs Element 2 - Amir had a great review and individual impressions have given it high praise. Lots of great reviews here and from Amir. Headphones ($500) - Dan Clark Audio Aeon RT closed. My budget can stretch from $2000 to $2500 for the headphones, DAC/amp, and active monitors. All music listening and gaming will be a nearfield experience and I won't be moving side to side or standing much at all. I will not be producing, mixing or creating music. I do like good, clean mid-bass, clear vocals and softer highs. Music wise, I listen to a lot of Motown, old school hip hop, R&B, rap and funny enough more and more country. The room is a spare bedroom and won't be treated as it will also serve for other hobbies. With this setup, I would like to put down the headphones eveyone once in while and listen to music via the monitors. I tend to sit at my desk for at least 8-9 hours a day with music in the background. I would like to replicate the sound and quality of the BG Radia's for my home office which will include PC gaming and listening to music while working. However, this means I haven't listened to anything new in the last 8 years. They are to me the perfect all-around sound for everything. This was my last home theater upgrade and absolutely love them for movies, TV, video games, and music. is their website.I have had my BG Radia 420s, CC 420, and SW-210 for a little over 8 years. I turn them on at a low/medium level all day long. Double what the manual says IMO (100 hours). But, you WILL need a subwoofer to enjoy these with any kind of music. These speakers, from the smallest set to the flagship model, don't have an ounce of bass. Also, you will hear everyone say that they will need a powered sub. If you plan to krank them, they will need a 4 ohm stable load at a minimum to avoid shutting down your receiver. True for every speaker that better equipment will make them sound better, but they will run on standard receivers. Some will say they require expensive equipment to sound good. Bohlender Graebener speakers come standard with a LIFETIME warranty. Magnepans and ML speakers are much more fragile. Martin Logan's are said to be good but only for softer music. All their speakers are way under rated and under priced IMO. Just bought a set of Radia 520's yesterday believe it or not. I've owned 3 sets of BG Radia speakers from Bohlender Graebener. I always recomend a sub but BG is particualrly weak on the low end. You need to budget in a sub when going with BG. I always know what my customer is getting when I recommend BG. They stand behind their products with a lifetime warranty and offer strong customer support. They offer a unique sound that is very forgiving to your room and seating arrangement. Why do I carry them? Sound wise I prefer them over the other planar brands out there. there's not a lot of margin compared to other more traditional brands and BG's demo discount program is one of the worst I've ever seen (they are working on this by the way). IMO the reason that a lot of dealers don't carry them. There aren't a lot of dealers out there so it may be hard to demo a wide variety of their models. They look great, sound great, and are unique. Of course, the more power the better !Īs far as to "what most people are saying" I'd like to see how many "most people" have actually heard and listened to BG's high end products. A $1000 receiver should provide enough power to even their top models. They aren't thirsty for power and are fine with an 8 ohm receiver. Some of their higher end models are amazing because they virtually have no sweet spot at all. I am a BG dealer and thus am very familiar with their products.
