| PERSONAL GEAR LIST; Your opinion on next best upgrade? I think you could get better sounding speakers, not knocking NHT but many, many very good speakers out there...could improve your system. | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Glad to hear you found speakers you like. | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers I had mentioned the Magnepan 3.7i and that is a great speaker, but I will add the Vandersteen Treo. Both are truly musical and wonderfully warm but laid back. | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Sometimes, I think, we succumb to the hype of a product. You may have committed to the Oppo before this post was written and want it to compete with a much more refined system and player ....but still wanted it. I guess, in all fairness, I am not ... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) If I were looking at speakers at the $15k price point, I could make calls to dealers to make appts and listen within a reasonable driving distance. Also Audio shows can be fun, and one can listen to many (not all?) speaker brands. That bit of rese... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) As noted here, one has to "go out" and listen to as many speakers as possible. All speakers introduce coloration to the sound, so it is vital to listen and find out what YOU like in terms of sound and which brand YOU favor. Hype about a speaker or... | |
| Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation I have empathy for your situation. I feel many people are victims of scams, lying sales people with nothing but financial gain or theft in mind. Even moreso we all can be led by hype, we can be led to believe what we are susceptable to believe. I ... | |
| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience Take a look at the Bluesound products. They can stream Tidal MQA files. Not starting a war here, some think the sound is tremendous and really hi-res, some hate MQA. But if you really like your system, cannot afford something like the Vandy Quatro... | |
| Planar ribbon speaker and Tubes Not working Please help! I had a transformer fail on a tube amp from driving MMGs. At least I suspect that is was the imp load. I would be careful you do not harm your amp! | |
| Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience. Odyssey Audio. I had wanted a Stratos amp for a long time. When I finally succumbed to the hype ( big mistake) it was an awful experience. I had hum, spurious noise and static noise from the Stratos, the Tempest and the newly designed Candela. Kla... | |
| 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... |
