| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal mpstein there is no issue with Mac powering Wilsons, Mac will power any speaker, the issue is sonic matching.With Mcintosh the Focals or Ushers would sound more lively.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Rbstehn, we were Usher dealers for quite a number of years the BE 10 and BE 20 were excellent, they would be outclassed by some of the newer loudspeakers currently on the market but boy were they good for the time. Part of the issue was the speake... | |
| Raidho TD1.2 opinions? Have to agree with Contuzzi,Heard the Radihos and the big Bortossens, The newer Rahidos, were more balanced and more dynamic then previous versions. Loved the big Bortossens, just were not impressed enough at $120k a pair. The other $30k speakers... | |
| Raidho TD1.2 opinions? Validpoint,The Radihos are very good but tend to be super dependent on matching gear. You may want to check out a few of their competitors which have similar levels of clarity, cost less and are also extremely good.Check out the TAD Me1 ... | |
| Used DACs in the 10k range smodocatal, checked out your preamp. Looks impressive but we would still recommend adding a tube preamp to the Bryston.The Byston amplifiers are clean but very dry sounding, hence a tube preamp really makes them come alive.Here is the order of imp... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Sfseay, Wilson speakers the current iterations are sounding way better than previous generations, so really don't understand your comment.We are concerned that the OP's Mac gear will not sound optimum on the Wilson's which tend to sound a bit mor... | |
| Used DACs in the 10k range Sim,Based on your system first question which preamp are you using?One before I would even entertain getting a dac I would borrow a Innous Zenith and see how much better the Denefrips would sound when being fed an optomized signal.As other people ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Brskie, that is true, in terms of Tidal. VImberg will be at more dealers and they are a separate franchise. We are talking with Wynn Audio to be the New York/NJ representative for Vimberg. We would then have Legacy, Paraigm, Kef, and Vimberg as ou... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Aolmrd,Please answer the questions raised, does DCS, Chord, MSB, Esoteric or other major leaders in the field of high end digital have constant "new and supposedly better sounding upgrades" happening every six months or so?Please refute the point ... | |
| Best integrated/power amplifier under $6000 Audiolabyrinth,Thank you for your post, we knew the K300i is special just didn't know that is better than the Luxman. The K300i is so musical and we love the new sound of Krell being so much more organic and flowing then their earlier productsIt i... | |

| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Thank you Clearlink.Aolmrd and Cal, please wake up and stop drinking the Cool AId.As we mentioned earlier the leaders in producing the worlds best digital front ends almost never upgrade their firmware and if so it is not every six months that a "... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Mepstein, neither the WIlsons or the Focals' will 100% synergize with your Origins.We have been doing surround sound for over 30 years, if matching your origins is a priority, then the Wilsons will be a much closer sonic match, as their tweeter is... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Mepstein,The Wilsons will match better sonically with the Origins which also use a soft dome tweeter. However, for a match with home theater both speakers should work. The othe puzzlement is that these speakers are all diferent price points, the S... |
