adante
whoever in this post calls the Adantes an absolute flop is a dumb, foolish and ignorant idiot, who probably never ever even listened to them. I own a pair of the AF61 and also a pair of Dynaudio Confidence 5. The Adante Af61s sounded very bright i... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
oops- have not checked this thread in a while. So- first of all my AF 61 did break in a bit more. In regards to cables and gear I am pretty sure that I did not cheap out. I am using Wireworld Eclipse 7 speaker cables, Nordost Tyr XLR interconnects... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I have a pair of Adante AF-61 and run them with a PS Audio BHK 250, directly connected to a PS Audio PW DAC mk2. The Adante AF61 throws a huge sound stage in my setup, but they do sound a bit bright in the mid frequency spectrum. I hope this will ... 
Pass Labs XA30.5 with Dynaudio Confidence 5
I have a pair of Confidence 5 and tried for many years to find the right amp to make them sing. I tried Krell kav 500, NAD M3, Mark Levinson 332, Emotiva XPA -1. These speakers need a lot of power, a lot more than most others! As they are also a b... 
2 Channel or 5 Channel- Dynaudio Confidence 5
Hi! I have a pair of C5 as my main speakers, combined with 2 pairs of Dynaudio Xennon3/75 (mid & rear Channels) and a Dyn. Audience 120 Center Channel speaker. The Dynaudio sound is beautiful, whether you go 7.1, 5.1 or 2 channels. When it com... 
Dynaudio Confidence 5 driven by Plinius 9200
At 300w you should have enough power. What's the peak power rating on the Plinius? I am using an NAD Masters M3 rated at 180w on 8ohm-dynamic power of 280 watts at 8 Ohms, 480 watts at 4 Ohms, and 785 watts at 2 Ohms. Though many people will tell ... 
Dynaudio Confidence 5 or Confidence 1 for this room????
Hello to all! I have a pair of C5's and was frustrated for the longest time -tried lots of different speaker cables, acoustic panels to treat my room ( 13.5 x 24 x 8 feet) and a bunch of different amplifiers. After experimenting for 2 years in a r... 
Any cables that give more bass
Xlo speaker cables are known to improve strong on the bass, but they are expensive. Bass traps will weaken the bass even more-so forget about those. How close are the speakers to your rear wall? The closer the more bass you will get! 
Audioquest DBS System
I have a pair of Jaguar XLRs 1m with the 24V DBS. They still have plenty of power and I had them for years! By the way, if you are interested I am planing an upgrade and would be willing to part with them. I would make you a good deal. 
has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja
Thank you all for your feedbacks and tips. For all of you who are still watching this thread I have news for you! I got a reply from Nordost on this topic! The Valkyrjas where discontinued as the whole new NORSE series including the smallest one b... 
has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja
thank you for your advise Sanji. I will consider the TYRs, have only heard really good things about them, but at an average $1000 used for 1m XLR it is quite the expensive route. Good to hear though that the rep compared Vaklyrja to Heimdall, mean... 
has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja
Thanks fo the advise. The AQ Jaguars in my system sound too analytical and cold, which made me believe that something was wrong with my esotar tweeters. Violins for example are reproduced without any silkyness at all, which to my ear sounds unnatu...
