@immatthewj that should be ALL the time as I am in doubt myself. I wish I had a clue what I am talking about |
I love your description of your workshop. However, wouldn’t woodworking be dusty affecting the hifi? I am curious how you decided to add the Billie and the Hegel 190 to your list. I am interested in both and I wonder if I could pick your brain. (They are outside of my budget so whenever they hit the used market) I imagine the Hegel and the Billie to be very different. I too have Evokes and a pair of Vandersteens. (courtesy of Mr, @tomic601 |
I haven’t plugged in my Evoke 20s in months. I also have a pair of Celestions. ($60 on Goodwill) The Evokes are great speakers. Until you hear better speakers. To be fair, my Evokes beat a lot of speakers in my tests, Klipsch, Wharfedale, Sonus Faber, Totems, very musical and sweet, lively in the high frequencies decent bass but not the greatest resolution, detail and soundstage. My Celestions have a stunning soundstage and effortless mids, as they are more sensitive. The Vandersteens is good at everything, maybe not as robust and involving as the Celestions, but just very high quality. I was very interested in the Mk3 but the price hike is brutal and may be worse with the tariffs. Do you know how the Hegel 190 copmpares to to the 90 or 95? |
I don’t think Chuck’s best use of time and skills is grocery shopping but we all gotta adopt in this big changing world. @bipod72 I would think Hegel has synergy with Dynaudio and the Billie with the Vandies. I know nothing about amp design but the Billie has so many functions for a one man show that I have a hard time believing that it can compete with products made by 100s of years of combined experience and 10s of patents. My third preference would be Simaudio. Sweet dreams :) |
@tomic601 the day when you finally stop evading me and come over for dinner, I will have the goodwill cash |
