| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire I use a Keces E40. Measured 34 watts/61 watts at 8/4 ohms when it reaches 0.7% distortion. Company claims up to 15 amps/channel max output. It's a little powerhouse that's on the warmer and smoother side but retains lots detail with really good... | |
| Please recommend speakers Can still get the Silver 100s new on Amazon through Audio Advisor for $799.95 or check directly from Audio Advisor. I had black and they are nice. Should retain good value over the years as the new series are $1400. | |
| Please recommend speakers For dacs, I would start looking at Gishelli Labs, Schitt Audio and there's a new review on the EarMen Tradutto you can watch at iiWi Reviews on youtube. Lots of Chinese options but the three I mentioned are domestic based in the US. Amps...whole... | |
| Please recommend speakers See if you can find any Monitor Audio Silver 100s on closeout. They are priced last I checked at $799.99 I actually picked up a closeout deal for $625+tax, ultimately sent them back because I preferred my Focal 807Ws for upper mids and highs but,... | |
| integrated amp on a budget I think alot of the amps mentioned would serve you well with some sounding smoother, some sounding grittier, some extenuating some frequencies over others. That said, I use Focal speakers which have a 90 dB or better in room response. Hegel and F... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Ah, the truth behind the controversial SQ differences among dacs. I ended up with a D70S and that's fine enough for me. | |
| What's a guy to do but ask for directions.. What is the common denominator for what your speakers are doing right and what they do not so well? | |
| Buchardt S400 MKII's vs Tyler Acoustics/GR-Research T1 Studio Monitors I am interested in this thread as well on how the two would compare in SQ, need of amplification, etc. If I were to drop around $2.5 on speakers, these seemingly would be the front-runners.I’ve recently got into lower powered amplification also me... | |
| How do you listen? Low to moderate volumes gives me the most enjoyment. Trying to recreate a musical event you are dealing with how the material was mixed, the source the speakers, you're room...I think it's impossible and how long can one listen to high levels of ... | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 I have a hegel h160 and wanted something smaller and lighter that still produces good SQ. I found that in a KECES E40. Per one review it produces up to 34 watts into 8 ohms and 62 into 4 ohms at low distortion and a claimed max output of 15 amps... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia Working towards Sit back, listen to MUSIC and enjoy your system but still trying new speakers that seem to be a good fit. I've downsized the amp while still retaining sufficient quality for low to moderate listening levels...so downsized the lis... | |
| What's your dream speaker? One that sounds great and is able to put my CDs back in the correct case and back on the shelf. What a mess I made. | |
| Identify older Paradigm speakers I had the Paradigm 7se, from what you describe it could be these if you state the 4inch tweeter includes the housing. You should be able to find discontinued speakers specs on paradigm website. It's woofer was 8inches and it stood about 24 inche... | |
| Amphion Helium vs Argon Sound Placed it under speakers but don't know how to delete this one. Thanks. | |
| Opinions and choices for a small speaker for mid sized room. Thank you and looking at options all of you recommended so far. Some have the potential to work and some don't as the constraints were lower powered equipment and a relatively small footprint...not to mention budget. But used or new under $2000, ... |
