| Large mid/bass, soft-dome tweeter, high(ish) sensitivity Please take this advice with a grain of salt. But I’ve heard the Lintons a couple of times. My impression was that my Vandersteen 1ci’s did everything the Lintons did but better. But those are two good speakers to put on your audition list. I sho... | |
| Fritz Carrera or other possibilities! Fritz does offer a 30 day money back guarantee. He is easy to work with and a pleasure to speak to. I can’t speak to the Carerra’s but at the end of the day the Carbon 7’s were just not for me. From the stuff I’ve heard, the Vandersteen VLR CT co... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market Since everyone's throwing their hat in the ring here's mine: - Vandersteen Treo (used if you can find them) - Magnepan 3.7i (used) - Ohm Tall 3000 - There's a gorgeous pair for sale on eBay right now | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers In my 2nd system (living room) the reflections off the tv and coffee table were noticeable. For listening sessions I would put a blanket over the tv and move the coffee table off to the side. I'm not like some of the guys here that can hear a gnat... | |
| what size magnepan I currently have the .7 with 2 REL subs in the corners per REL’s guidance in a 11’ x 13’ room. I may have a twinge of what-about-itus wondering if the 1.7i would be better, but I think the .7 is a great choice. I'm still kind of shocked at how muc... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I am a fan of Vandersteen. I have a pair of 1ci's and a pair of Treo Ct's. I recently purchased as set of Maggie .7's that I am currently quite smitten with. | |
| OHM 3XO Factory Rebuild Ohm speakers are fantastic and I hope to own a pair of the 1000's some day. I agree with mapman give those new drivers some time to break in. Enjoy! | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? @thingswelike Happy Lumin T2 owner here. I do agree with others above, that playlist organization is not a strong suit of the Lumin app. And I too struggled the first few days understanding the concept of adding tracks to a playlist to get them to... | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? @avanti1960 you're right. I only suggested the 12.0 because it was in budget for the OP. | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? +1 for Wharfedale Diamonds At that price point I really don't think you can go wrong with these: Open box special. Was $349 now $279 and Music Direct has a generous 30 day no hassle return policy. I had the slightly bigger 12.2 and fooli... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives First off condolences on your loss. I’ve been watching this thread with great interest as I recently purchased the .7 and couldn’t be happier with them. I would definitely take Johnny R.’s advice and go straight out of the Node into your amp. Im... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Magnepan .7. I'm absolutely loving my system right now. | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Vandersteen 1ci. Upgraded to the 2 thinking if I liked the 1 the 2 would have to be better. It wasn't the case for my ears and spaces in my house. Later came by a gentleman who was letting a mint pair go cheap, so I bought them again. Now they ser... | |
| Lumin how do i get next song in playlist??? Oh and to answer your question...you cant just search for an album and begin playing it from track 3 and expect it to advance to the next song. You need to add it to a playlist first. Then it will advance. | |
| Lumin how do i get next song in playlist??? I have the Lumin T2 and love it as a streamer. The app takes some getting used to as you've discovered. Adding songs to playlists is not intuitive and to my knowledge there is no way to organize the songs/ albums within a playlist. But the app is ... |
