| REL T/9i or S5 I purchased a T9i for $750 and later, an S3 SHO for $1000, both new, from magnolia.I’d take 2 T9i’s over a single S3 SHO.The S3 SHO does seem to have quite a bit beefier driver. If you can do 2 S3 SHO’s that would be pretty sweet.I’m currently us... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore Throw em on c-list. Price them $200 less than what they normally sell for. They’ll be gone in a few days, with little to no haggling. State the condition of them, take good pics, put in ad cash and carry due to covid.If you want to get full res... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore Awesome, congrats Marc. When purchasing speakers at this level, buying “used” is not an issue. You saved $3500 and don’t have to wait 200 hours for them to sound their best!Please do let us know how you like them so we can better guide people in... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night Sad day. I just found out about Al. Almarg was always so helpful to everyone here. In many ways, he was the one we’d all go to for highly technical questions. He was an incredibly great addition to Audiogon and his absence will be felt.My cond... | |

| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way You’re right Kenjit, they’re horrible speakers, we get it. You may be excused now. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Exciting stuff! A weak point for the Passive LS50’s are the lack of low bass and dynamics. The new metas look to be like some incredible speakers. I can’t wait to see some reviews on the Wireless version Hopefully they got the app figured out.T... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore Yes, upstream equipment will be important for sure. Hopefully the op likes them enough to question what is possible with them, since they’re will be some untapped potential due to his current dac. | |

| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? Oh, and in my experience, once you have a solid stand, more gains can be had with some iso acoustics orea’s than from a sturdy $200 stand vs a sturdy $600 stand.The little cups and bearings work well to on a budget if you don’t do isoacoustics. | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? Hilde, why not a pair of Sanus SFC 18 b1?They are sand fillable, sturdy steel stands. Spikes on the bottom. I’ve haf a few pair and they are really actually great stands for the $.The top plate is almost perfect for you at 14x8. They say they h... | |
| Comparables? I have the Fritz Carrera BE’s with a Rel T5i. It sounds fantastic. I can whole heartedly recommend Fritz Speakers. His speakers sound fantastic, his build quality is awesome (I especially like my Walnut finish) and his prices are really good co... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore Congratulations! You sir just got yourself a world class speaker. Did you go with the 40’s?Atc’s are unlike any other speaker I have heard. You’re in for a treat! | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? I’d go Timber Nation, custom built to your exact dimensions, look, and wood. Then I’d use iso acoustic orea under the speakers.I’ve been talking about just building some walnut speaker stands and when I priced the wood needed for what I want (2” ... |
