| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) One side note, since Vandersteen was mentioned. The 2 model has been one of the best selling speakers for over three decades. Not many speaker brands can boast about that. When listening to speakers, often it is the design/engineer who is responsi... | |
| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? Of the many amps mentioned and the speakers you have I think I would consider three brands; Pass, Parasound JC1 monos and McIntosh.Pass build great amps for great powerful sound. McIntosh also make very good amps with tremendous resale value. Para... | |
| Budget Office System Integrated for $1000 or less As an added note for the Powernode 2- It has a subwoofer out, if you think the PM1 speakers, or whatever your choice does not put out enough bass.BTW your smartphone will be your control for your unit. Stream files, even MQA, via Tidal, Spotify or... | |
| Budget Office System Integrated for $1000 or less This is what I would get- Bluesound Powernode 2 and a pair of B&W Pm-1 speakers. If you can find them with stands... great. You now have a great office system. | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) The Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT is right at your price point. A very, very good sounding speaker. Has activedrivers. That would be my choice... | |
| Nice MQA discussion I see MQA as a Jekyl/Hyde type of experience and codec. On one hand, it sounds fantastic and one can be exposed to the ever expanding library as the two or three major labels add record titles. On the other hand, I keep reading about the greedy ha... | |
| Sanity check on new system? I think I would like to hear complete systems. I would have a speaker brand in mind first, and dealers have good knowledge of synergy for that brand or model.To me, it’s very, very difficult to pick your system without hearing first. If great soun... | |
| MQA - What is your favorite content? Great thread!Try Ray Charles and Milt Jackson"Soul Brothers" & Crosby, Stills & Nash "CSN". You never heard them sound so good. But not every MQA offering sounds excellant, many do not.If you want your socks blown off, try Ray Charles, The... | |
| A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner? A fellow audiophile told me I should not consider a TT unles it had on-the-fly vta adjustment. Is it true? | |
| Music collection in Flac. Great! PC player..too slow. Suggestions?? I would do this. Get a Bluesound Node 2. You can access all your music files with it at home without using your PC. Also, you will enter the world of streaming via Spotify, Pandora or whatever streaming service YOU like. If you pick a streaming se... | |
| Vandersteens, PSB or something else? I have the 2ce Sig II as well. I run a Parasound A21, but I bet the mono McIntosh amps make them sound even better. I don’t think they can sound nearly as good as the Quatro CT or 3.7s. The bass alone with both speakers will go lower and cleaner. | |
| Vandersteens, PSB or something else? I agree with many here. The Quatro Ct and the 3.7 are my two top personal favs. But the 3.7 will sound the best with high quality powerful amps. The CTs are just awesome and would not need all that extra power. If you can find a dealer to audition... | |
| Tidal subscription discounts Thanks to everyone, and you are welcome! | |
| Best monoblock amps for $2000 used What is the difference between two mono block amps and one dual-mono stereo amp? Many times you can get the dual-mono stereo amp or even an integrated dual mono stereo amp for a better price.http://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/m6series/m6500i ... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? bcgator - That is a great comment. I could not agree more, well said. |
