| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K Miami, everything you are saying(small footprint, jazz/light rock, tube amps) points to Totem, I'll add to the other Totem recommendations. The Totem Hawks are really amazing. They pay attention to every single detail from the density of the mdf... | |
| BUY Bryston!!!!! To the folks that are saying to add brand X to the list, let’s not get carried away. Bryston has a 20 year warranty. That’s what sets them way above any other company. Yes your brand may have fixed something for you out of warranty, but you have n... | |
| Totem Hawks - my impressions The Hawks are priced above both, and I can say that at least compared to the Totem Sky, the Hawks have better imaging, more presence and detail, at least in my system. | |
| Totem Hawks - my impressions I’ve now owned Totem Dreamcatchers, Rainmakers and the Sky Bookshelf speakers. In my system, the Rainmakers had a lot of magic, but were easily bested by the Hawks. What a tremendous sounding speaker. There is a sense of presence, live music, and ... | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? What's clear is that complaints of really bad customer non service by Tekton have been an oft repeated refrain in this forum. Too many for it to be a non issue.The OP in that thread was not ranting and raving about his experience, he actually see... | |
| I saw an ad for Morrow Audio cables They did change their "formula" and no longer use silver clad copper conductors. I've had good luck with them, I think as with all cables, it depends on the synergy of your system. I tried all Audioquest and then all Morrow IC's, and in the end l... | |
| adcom equipment..... That's an interesting result, the harshness I mean. I found it not harsh with Totem Rainmakers( a somewhat forward/open sounding speaker), but perhaps the Halo P5 had something to say about that. Then too, my definition of harsh may be different... | |
| adcom equipment..... Sure, no problem. Being that I've owned both Parasound and Adcom previously, I compared some of the specs of the 555SE and the Parasound 2250 V2. They retail for about the same...The Adcom has comparable SNR and better damping factor(900 to 150)... | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? Interesting, thanks everyone. The Tekton thread was what I’d noticed recently, but have occasionally seen other threads with similar actions. I’d say that this forum is much better than what typically happens at say AVS or some of the other forums. | |
| adcom equipment..... I would beg to differ with hifiman's assertion that he's read up on the new Adcom lines. There is almost nothing to read up on regarding them or at least their design. One can read the manual of each model on line, or read up on a few owner's im... | |
| Audioquest Makenzie XLRs Good lord, this thread is so full of BS that I feel sorry for the OP. A dozen or more wildly differing opinions, and most of them not answering the basic question. No wonder why we are losing the next generation in regards to good audio.I own Mo... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Thanks for that, guido. My mind used to be made up, back when I thought cables made no difference and all amps were pretty much the same, a bit of propaganda pushed hard on the Avs site. Now I’m more of the school that believes everything matters... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Sorry guido, I gave at the office. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Speaking for myself, I love it when someone starts a thread with the title “the future of...” . Whatever comes next is whatever they’ll be peddling, singing the praises of etc. Class D, why are the fans of class d so defensive?we get it. You like ... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? FYI to the OP, the XDA-2 is long out of production. Their current dac may be better.LJG, you must understand, when Emotiva was selling the XDA-1, they were calling it a digital preamp, and marketing it as such. Doesn’t that seem just a little wron... |
