| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) Thanks so much for all your inputs and sharing. I have ordered SCM 11, hope it will serve me another 10, 20 years in my small room with privacy. Cheers to all ! | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) @newbee Unfortunately not in my listening room, I listened to both SCM7 and SCM 11 at distributor showroom, slighly bigger than mine by 20% , both are quite well performed, I prefer the latter as it may be easier to drive with larger volume. | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) @ghdprentice basically listen mostly on Jazz / Classical , I tends to listen to relaxing music than shouty rock/pop . As i said, it depends on mood/stress ... No pre-amp, but integrated amp of Accuphase. Currently speaker is Sonus Faber Concertin... | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker @rsf507 Interesting...May I know why Harbeth is not recommended in your opinion? What about ATC bookshelves passive speakers like SCM 7, SCM 11 , etc | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker Firstly, thanks all for your valuable comments and recommendation. @akg_ca Accuphase E280 amp , source from Auralic Aries Mini and external DAC with AKM 4499 on Roon platform. @ryder hi, I just sold my 400xi lately , moving to small room, need a... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Hi Brad, yes, that's the Fletcher Munson effect . That's why now several amplifier manufacturer has "loudness" button to deattenutate. Besides that, I also noticed the few remastered album from Tidal is more "loudness" as I observed from Roon... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and With AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) technology of Accuphase, possible SCM7 can be listened at low level volume without sound degrading ? | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Besides SCM7 , I will audition 10 years old Harbeth Compact 7ES-2 for comparison, the latter draws my interest for more musical and natural sound and could listen at low volume level ...what do you guys thing about C7ES2 ? | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and @yogiboy thanks for your recommendation on Falcon, having checked our local distributor, there's no Falcon Q7 here, but LS3/5a, it's overpriced here at USD 4k. @digsmithd I hope SCM7 will sound good at low level listening in view of small roo... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and @yogiboy LS3/5a was my shortlisted speakers like Harbeth, Rogers, etc. But they are above $1800 budget . Will scout for used perhaps, I like musical speaker , listening to music, natural timbre and not equipment. thanks for your recommendation @... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Guys @lanx0003 @digsmithd thanks for your insight and sharing. FYI, i just sold my 200W Krell KAV-400xi amp after moving to small room, otherwise it should easily drive SCM7. I have asked ATC distributor, they said E280 (damping factor 500) ab... | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade Appreciate all your feedback . Initially I was interested on ASR report, as I read more , I feel their review are biased. I got my first edition of Topping D90 replacing my decade old Cambridge audio DAC Magic after ASR review. Thanks @snapoli2 ... | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade Too clean, too analytical, it sounds dry thus boring and fatigue over time. Thus, prefer slight warm, analogue and musical soundstage. I was thinking about tube hybrid amplifier but it could be too warm and need maintenance on tube or tube rollin... | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade @jasonbourne52 i am using Topping D90 AKM 4499 DAC (warmer than ESS 2nd edition D90) from Auralic Aries Mini to Krell via balanced XLR . I believe Topping PA5 is more suitable for desktop monitor speaker , I prefer musical and warm sound. | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade Wow, many thanks for all your sharing and thoughts. Understand and heard Audio Research are good match with Sonus Faber, my current Krell was also a good match , that’s 15 years ago and not the new Krell . I prefer slight warm, musical with w... |
