| Revel Salon 2 That’s a screaming deal. Don’t walk, run and buy it! But make sure to find out why it’s priced so low. Hope it’s not a case of ‘too good to be true’ | |
| Borresen X3 @deep_333 Appreciate the response. Once again, my intention was not to embarrass you in any way. I completely understand that people often change their views after experiencing an audio component in person where they might have formed a negative o... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? From what I understand, repeat offenders who solicit members' phone numbers or emails via PM several times get the boot after a few warnings. Not sure if this is what happened but is very likely. | |
| Borresen X3 deep_333 All the Borresen sht is so overpriced for what it actually is. Get a pair of the Yamaha NS5000 speakers+Rythmik or GR Research subs, pair it with something like a Luxman C900u/M900u or some Gryphon piece. Spend the rest of your cash on ... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @helomech The M40.2s are unquestionably the best Harbeths in my opinion, but for their price, I simply don’t understand the appeal. The 40.2s retailed for a smidge under $20k, but I don't think anyone paid that amount for them. Mostly they we... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @stuartk Emotional and physical engagement are topmost priorities for me. Have you owned any of the smaller Harbeths? Sorry just saw your post. I don't know why I'm not getting notification emails from audiogon anymore. To date, I have ow... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? @ozzy62 thanks for sharing the feedback. Would you say the midrange is relatively thinner compared to your Parsifals? When I heard the Qualio speakers at my friend's place I felt the midrange (lower midbass area to be more precise) was just a tad ... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? arafiq what have you heard north of $20k that you feel beats the Qualios and why? I said ‘south’ of $20k. I don’t think it beats $25k and above. But that’s based on one 3-hour listening session only. | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? These speakers really intrigue me. I went to a friend’s house today to listen to the Ultra model. Man, that soundstage is phenomenal. The only thing that bothered me was the midrange was slightly anemic. Could be his amp, but other than that it’s ... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? Steve Huff has been hyping them lately … which gives me pause | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? I usually stay away from these types of comparisons that often turn into pissing matches. But, given some of the negative opinions expressed about Harbeth speakers, I want to share my experiences having owned several Harbeth speakers over the year... | |
| Borreson X2 @deep_333 … thanks for sharing your opinion. Let me ask you this: if you are forced to just keep one speaker in your system, will it be the Yamaha NS5000 or the Borresen? | |
| Could Class D really be that good? So on one hand we have a designer/builder/entrepreneur who has been building and selling top quality products for a number of years. On the other hand, we have a ..... tweaker, who modifies other people's original designs. Hmm... who is right? To... | |
| Comparing Aurender N20 vs eversolo dmp A8 @lalitk is a great resource of all things audio, especially cabling. I second that! His advice is based on actual experience and a ton of research. | |
| How you know your system is improving? I hope you don’t mind me saying this … both @hilde45 @mahgister are two of the more thoughtful members on this site. I enjoy reading posts from both. This supposed rivalry is downright silly. Having said that, one of you does have the ten... |
