| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @soix: Sounds like you have quite the upgraded amp there. I look forward to reading your review once you get a chance to fully test it out. I will certainly consider upgrading my DNA Deluxe in the future. When I was researching amps, I had it nar... | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 SMc confirmed that my DNA-1 Deluxe does indeed have the upgraded R1 driver board. Good news for sure. | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @soix: Thank you. My fingers are crossed as well and I will be very happy to receive confirmation of this once I send the requested information and photos in to SMc for review. Also, I just wanted to say that Pat at SMc was exceedingly knowledge... | |

| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @soix: I just had a fairly long conversation with Pat at SMc Audio. Great news! He viewed photos of my McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe and it appears that my unit has already had this issue addressed with a new R1 Drive Board. He told me that with that boa... | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @soix: If you are correct and my DNA-1 Deluxe is afflicted, then I will sell it. I don’t particularly relish the very real possibility of a fatal flaw hanging over me. Unfortunate that I was not aware of this flaw on the Deluxe prior to my purchas... | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @mofojo: Thanks for the info on the Focus 140s. Maybe they aren’t the best choice for me since I am looking for detail and clarity... and at least some bass, but not too much. Perhaps if he continues to lower his price. | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140/160 @soix: Thanks for the link, but the seller wants a local pickup in NY. Since I’m in TX, that won’t work. Also, I am looking for smaller/bookshelf speakers because I do not have the space for floor-standers. This is for a smaller listening area and... | |

| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Amplifier How would you compare the Odyssey to ATI? | |
| Need Advice - new system Emotiva amps: retail price for XPA-5 (200Wx5) is $999.00, XPA-2 (300Wx2) is $899.00 (both gen 2). Used is considerably cheaper. Your idea to use a separate processor and a great integrated is certainly a good thought, but you are correct - too exp... | |
| Need Advice - new system Ctsooner, Thank you for the offer. I live in El Paso, TX. I did some research and the Proacs definitely seem to be awesome speakers. The Supertowers seem rather giant - what are the measurements? Do you have photos or can you point me to your post... | |
| Need Advice - new system The Krell sounds like a good idea, but it's still considerably more expensive than the Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 Pre Amp and an XPA-2 Gen 2 300W x2 or an XPA-5 Gen 2 200W x5, which I have in mind. I know some audiophiles like to bash Emotiva as mid-fi, ... |
