| On or Off i have a pass amp also. the manual is not specific about leaving the front panel switch on in addition to the rear switch. i do leave the rear switch on but turn off the front panel switch after listening. | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. sorry to put a damper on your plans but i have the spendor d7.2 and previously the d7. tried to integrate 3 different set of subs, ML, JL audio and REL. you are on the right track trying to high pass the main speakers, the spendor's deep bas... | |
| Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ? @matias1979 Much experience with the Pharaoh I, just heard the II at AXPONA this past April. The sound signature seemed mainly the same. Bass heavy, lack of transparency, relatively unrefined midrange and treble. I thought it was the worst s... | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... spendor d line | |
| Need an integrated amp that sounds engaging at lower volume doubtful a new amp will help much. i suggest more efficient speakers, e.g. 89 db min. or add a small subwoofer. check the PSB imagine XB speakers. sound great at low volume and do not cost a fortune. | |
| Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ? @thecarpathian yes, the cronus ii i had was clear, smooth, colorful, ultra refined and dynamic. the pharaoh to my ears is bass heavy with unrefined midrange and treble. the bass has kind of a suggish overhang. also the sound did not change ... | |

| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Harbeth SHL5+. Heard them at my first audio show (AXPONA) and was blown away at the clarity and refinement. Vocals sounded real ! Bass was punchy and excellent. | |
| Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ? The Cronus Magnum has one of the most likeable sounds out of any amplifier on the market. The Pharaoh does not. | |
| Piega loudspeakers Listened long to the Coax 511 towers, retail $15.9K. The only speaker with coaxial ribbon midrange and tweeter that I am aware of. Remarkably transparent with excellent imaging and sound stage. A touch of high frequency artifacts but not too ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ The Harbeth SHL5+ can sound beautiful and never nasty. Beautiful and of course slightly colored because of cabinet resonance and forgiving voicing. Move on to amything else and you might miss those aspects as I am currently struggling with. | |

| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers strictly on output level the blades win easily. however for sound quality at moderate volume i prefer the LS50s. the SQ of the blades was disappointng to my ears. | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? Having owned less sensitive speakers and high powered amplifiers, e.g. 84db and 86db with up to 300 WPC, they could not match the dynamics and spontaneous pop of more sensitive speakers. Even with lower powered amps, e.g. 25 WPC, a set of 90db ... |
