| 5-10k budget... so many choices Khost, what you smoking, every Focal ever made can sound a bit forward, any Beryilium tweeter is going crystal clear out to 40k, this tends to pull the ear towards the top, hence the slightly fatter tuning in the midrange which makes the Sopras so... | |
| Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7 The Ayre comments were good but I don't think the OP wants to build a Rasberry PI device.So the questions the OP should ask himself are:1: How good do I want it to be which will affect budget?2: Headphones only or a system with an amplifier for f... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Mr Jmcgrogan,Over the years we have had Chord, Electrocompaniet, Plinius, Hegel, Luxman, Devialet, in both our reference room and our next step down room.We tested out the Thrax gear which was fantastic, and have run demos vs Boulder and big Krell... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices As a Legacy dealer we couldn't agree more. The Focus SE are flat out amazing, we heard a current set with the self amplified bass option being used with the Wavelet Dac/Preamp/Room Correction processor with a set of Raven tube amps athe the last ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Xp 12 $5800Xa 25 $5000Good int $1000-300011800- 13800 for 25 watts R series 2500 integrated $11,500140 watts Hv int $18,000 300 watts Again Devialet D 400 $18,000Seems we are in the same ballpark. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Greginnh, actually that is a great idea.So far no one has asked for an in home demo believe it or not.We have the separates on display later this year we will get an HV and R series integrated on display.We did have the 2500r in for a week and it ... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Contuzzi, Focals are not laid back in the treble, never said they are bright either I said they tend to sound forward, that means they have a very clean treble and are quite detailed.Beryilium tweeters tend to go towards the detailed side same on ... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Lowspark, you need to look at the possible choices and try to figure out what you like about each speaker and what your ear likes.The Martin Logan and the Golden Ear both use Heil tweeters, you may like the voicing of the Golden Ear which tends to... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Karurravi,A tube amplifier even an excellent one may not be the best match with the Dynaudio and it is possible the extra power and bass control of the Bel Cantos is doing it for you compared to what the tube amplifier was doing.T+A's older produc... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Bubba why don,t you pm Musicfx and ask him why he choose the 2500r over the Pass?You can see why people stay away from these threads the negativity is ridiculous.From arcane discussions of transistors to an attack on our sound room and knowledge f... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Gdhal, there is no such thing as fact in audio when it comes to human ratings as the determiing factor.Fact which is better a Mercedes or a BMW?Not stastical data on HP, resale, size of trunk, cost of operation.Please tell me which is better? Now ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Gdhal what is fact vs opinion? Everything in life is pretty much an opinion when it comes to subjective products.Is a bottle of $80 Scotch better than a $20 one? It depends on your taste buds and knowlege about Scotch. As per the two reviews did a... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. George a demo in a shop is just that, our shop does not use a switch board, all gear is in power conditioners and the rooms sound good and yes we know about the shorting out trick that is very old audio news. We never claim that you are going to g... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Ralph we know about that trick, what you said is that having multiple speakers in the room completely invalidates the results, when they don't.Wolf sorry but what you feel is unethical is done all the time on these forums and others many others/If... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Ralph, As per having more than one speaker in a room, 99.9 percent of dealers unfortunately have to do this as loudspeakers do take up space.We only have one set of speakers on deck so to speak so you can acutally get a pretty good idea of what th... |
