| Need Adcom GFA-565se info Very few amps are stable into 2 ohms, you’d have to look into truly high end stuff. Maybe Pass Labs, Krell, Conrad Johnson. But you may not need 2 ohm stable. Why are you asking for this rating in an amp? Very few speakers dip down into 2 ohms, I ... | |
| ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936 Contuzzi:I've seen that thread on AVS and I'd take that guys opinion with a grain of salt. Very novice listener and even he was bothered by the sierras at first and "learned" to like them after all the AVS users convinced him to essentially.That'... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Yep, me too. I convinced myself that with the music I mostly listen to I didn’t need the extra detail of the RAAL ribbon tweeter in the Ascend Sierra 2 and sold them. About 3 months later I contacted the buyer to see if he wanted to sell them back... | |
| Paradigm owners: older Performance series I've owned several pairs of this line, and have refoamed 3 pairs of the Titans, Atoms and a V1 pair of Phantoms.The best part of these speakers is the tweeter. The bass is so bloated and non-accurate that I could not used any of them today as the... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? The tweeter, and the R&D budget allocated to its design, is no less important to the rest of the speaker. And a dome tweeter will only go so far and do so much. The metal dome tweeters in most of Totems lower line up( to about the Hawks) ha... | |
| Floorstanding towers I’ve owned several Paradigm speakers from both the Monitor and Signature line. I wanted to upgrade my Monitor speakers in the theater, and auditioned the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2. They have a high end ribbon tweeter, and the Sierra’s simply blew ... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? Well nothing means nothing, in that case. I do believe you were indulging yourself in hyperbole with the 5K statement. Its a free forum, and talk is cheap, but Totem markets their looks in a big way and it's a big part of any of their price tags... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? The Totem Signature 1's consist of decent drivers, a good crossover design and box. Specs include a bottom end of 50 Hz and a max wattage rating of only 120. They were overpriced at 2200, and I remain skeptical that a 12" high speaker can punch ... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100 The thing that impresses me about the Yamaha is it is 51 pounds. The Parasound is only 33. I know that doesn't really prove anything, but still, I'd expect that the Yamaha is built to higher specs WRT current and heat demands. | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100 That's a tough call, they will be different sounding. The Yamaha house sound is somewhat more forward/bright than Parasound. I'm not sure what the characteristics of your speakers are, but they are 4 ohms speakers which is not an easy load. But... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? The problem with Totem is, they are overpriced for what you get. Better sound and performance can be had for much less. You pay a premium for those good looks. | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? By the looks of this thread, few have heard the Ascend Sierra 1 or 2. At the price point of 850, one would be hard pressed to find a bookshelf that equals the Sierra 1. The bass output for a stand mount is better than any other bookshelf I’ve hear... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? So here’s a surprise. I recently delved into the world of DAC, and ordered a Bifrost Multibit. Feeding crappy MP3 files from my phone to it, all I can say is WOW! The music has more detail which gives a better soundstage. Also, the bass is tighter... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? By reading the above posts, one can surmise that most have not heard the Schiit Gungnir, so can’t offer an opinion to the question posed. Then there are those who are recommending DACs over the Gungnir that are in another price category(again, som... | |
| Class D Audio amp noisy when bridged to mono Funny how none of the class D amp fans that are quick to praise the design on this forum haven't posted in this thread to help a brother out.I've heard amps from this brand when I bought a pair of speakers off a fellow audiophile, and they impress... |
