| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? Kef r300. same point source awesome nearfield imaging as ls50’s but ghe r300’s are warmer / have more bass. I had ls50’s and r300’s. I think you like the r300’s! Oh and you can snag em for around $400 | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Hi Hilde! Are these supplementing the Salks or replacing? If supplementing, then maybe go a different sound than the salks. The Spatials look very interesting to me personally. The Klipsch forte heritages are really nice and listen up does car... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers Rythmik for sure. Its driver is in a different class compared to the others mentioned. All the others have stamped steel baskets, the rythmik is the only one with a cast frame at this price. The rythmik driver is more in line with the next line... | |

| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget The Belles Aria integrated can be found used for around $1300. It sounds very sweet. Beautiful sounding little amp. It supposedly has a decent phone pre as well. I’d pair it with a streamer (maybe bluesound node) and a good dac (budget $800-$1... | |

| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? I said, from my knowledge in case it wasn’t true. I have heard that there isa furniture builder near him that does the cabs or possibly just the veneer? Regardless, Jim isn’t building cabs and veneering them personally correct? Fritz builds his... | |

| Monitor Audio Gold 300 (5G) vs Monitor Audio Platinum 200 II Hi Vhond! I haven’t heard either but I had some Gold GX50’s and I have seen both speakers you asked about. I’ve read that some people prefer the 4g’s ribbon tweeter over the amt of the 5g. Between the 2 you mention, I imagine that the plat... | |
| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? From my knowledge, Jim Salk outsources his cabinets. They are not built in house. Not sure its pertinent to the conversation but I hear quite a bit of responses about his cabinets. The pair I had could have been finished better in that it could... | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's Maggies are awesome if you have them set up right. The LRS and 1.7i are where its at on the lower end of Maggies. My LRS’s on custom stands which elevate the panels 15” off the ground and position them vertically. I changed out the fuses to SR ... | |

| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Yep, well integrated bass that is quick and tight and something that will play low (25hz) is a game changer. It adds so much to the music including the mids, highs and soudstage. Theres quite a bit of music that benefits from a sub, even in the ... | |
| Replacement for current speakers suggestions Moms battling cancer for the second time now. I wish you the best. I've been through a ton of speakers and am currently using Magnepan LRS's. My advice, hget a pair of 1.7i's used for around $2k and any decent sealed 10" or 12" sub. If you ... | |
