| Which monitor speaker to choose?? I owned the Sonus Faber Concertino Domus... very, very nice sound (esp. on tubes). I would take these over the newer SF monitors. | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? I only meant "entry-level" for Magico - Magico would consider them their entry leve (least expensive) speaker.I think anyone actually calling any audio component "entry level" that cost that much needs their head examined. | |
| ok, lets talk about set up in a home theater Agree with removing that subwoofer ASAP. Get a B$W sub at least. | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Anyone that thinks that music sounds better in multi-channel than stereo has not heard a decent 2-ch setup yet. | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? REL subwoofers were/are not designed for studio use. They are MUSICAL subs and mainly used for 2-ch music systems and as such are simply some of the BEST subwoofers for that application. For the money, JL Audio makes very good subs for HT. If I ca... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Agree with Polk432...Too many speakers (and other gear), that is hidiously over-priced. Magico is one that comes to mind... unecessarily over-built and over-priced as a result. All the "guts" of that speaker IS NOT NEEDED to create good sound.If y... | |
| CD upgrade. No, just a fan. Go troll somewhere else, unless you have a comment about this subject. | |
| CD upgrade. I bought the Akurate DS as demo ($5,500), normally $7,500 I think retail, the NAS w/ 3TB drive was about $350, the iPad was $350. Router is just a std. wireless router I already had setup. You do not even really "need" a separate NAS... you could ... | |
| CD upgrade. A LINN Akurate DS I meant... | |
| CD upgrade. I have a LINN Akurate CD running 24/96 and 24/192 FLAC or WAV and I access my entire library from my iPad. The files were ripped off CDs that I owned, borrowed from friends or checked out from the library. I used DbPowermap (either free or stupid ... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Actually, at less than half the price, they DO give the Magico a run for the money. You say "It's not even close"... really? The price of the Q3 (or any Magico for that matter) is NOWHERE NEAR justified - it is ridulous actually. And when you are ... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Suteetat...Maybe it sounds better (to some), but AGAIN, my point is that is cost a ton more. Let's compare apples to apples. | |
| Sub question for my system My buddy has that same sub running with a pair of Dali MS4's... sounds great. | |
| Sub question for my system One of the most musical subs you can get is REL. I have owned about 4 different models over the years. They sound amazing. I would never run a Velodyne for music. The Vandersteen subs I cannot speak on, I have not heard them. I would start aorund ... | |
| CD upgrade. I mean ditch the spinning disc totally. Ripping your CDs in with DbPoweramp as FLAC (24/96 or higher), and playing through a DAC (with an iPad), will result in better sound. I am using a LINN Akurate DS with an iPad and 24/192 WAV files. You would... |
