Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
Leemaze - I have had my eye on the Wharfedale Evo’s!  They look amazing and have received race reviews.But, it appears they have the exact same woofers as the Reva 4’s which I wasn’t satisfied with.  I really don’t understand why Wharfedale keeps ... 
Anyone tried the new miniDSP SHD as a Pre amp??????
I have my eye on one of these too. I was originally looking at the Parasound P6 because it has bass management and would allow me to high pass my bookshelf speakers and cross them over to two custom made subs, but the Minidsp looks like a signific... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
Any update on US distribution for Fyne Audio?? 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
@leemaze.  Unfortunately I sold the 10.7s.  I was originally driving them with a Marantz receiver, but yes, when I switched to an Adcom 5300 there was a significant improvement in control and reach.  Then I switched to an Emotiva A-500 and they so... 
Take up drums at age 56?
I have been playing the drums for 20 years.  I have not all of the other responses in this thread, but I support you heavily and believe everyone should should contribute to the musical world.  You are not choosing to pick up a hobby.  You are cho... 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
@leemazeI I sold the Reva 4s and bought a pair of Dali Oberon 5s with a matching center in light oak.  Beautiful speakers.  My wife loves how they complement the room.  Their sound is very forward up top and as many reviewers have stated they have... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
@stesco - I am in New Jersey.  Are there any distributors over here?   
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
If they get distribution in the US I would really like to try them out.  Tannoys are nearly non-existant in the US.  I live in the tri-state area and had a lot of trouble tracking down a Tannoy dealer.  Even then it turned out to be by appointment... 
How Are Rotel Preamps?
I too am looking at getting a Rotel 1570 Preamp.  looks like a great piece.  Toroidal Transformer.  Nice Dac.  XLR input and out.  Looks like a great preamp for the money.  I am thinking about this used over the Parasound P5.Any other thoughts? 
Warmer sounding Solid State
I am liking the way the Nuforce DDA-120 Sounds with the power conditioner on it.  Like I mentioned before, I'm beginning to believe that the top end (treble) problem I've been having wasn't really that there was too much top end or that the top en... 
Warmer sounding Solid State
 I am using the Pm8005 in home theater bypass mode, and unfortunately to switch it in and out of this mode you need to hold down the button on the front of the unit for three seconds. which is a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience none the l... 
Warmer sounding Solid State
@bpolettiThat's a bummer.  I just ordered these speakers.  I gotta give them a little more time before I off them.  I just tried them using a Nuforce DDA-120 that was powering my desktop setup and they sounded much better.  I then added the power ... 
Warmer sounding Solid State
Would speaker cables help with this top end brittleness too?  I am currently using a some 12awg 99.95% Oxygen free cable that I put banana ends on.  Not the best, but not the worst either.   
Warmer sounding Solid State
@aniwolfeYes I have.  Will it help??  I ordered one and am actually expecting it to get delivered today.  A very modest Furman AC-215A.  On the cheap, but I just wanted to see if it would help the situation.  You see, I have a Peachtree Nova 150 s... 
Warmer sounding Solid State
@bpoletti Warmer sounding because my speakers have a bit of gain in the upper registers.  I am looking for a power option that will balance them out.
