| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' lol @ WolfGood to see (?) you again! I think that was in fact 2.5 reasons why to buy Silverline, and if we were keeping track here, that might make you the winner.I'm sticking to the Ushers, even though I haven't heard them. There is a pair of $15... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Why are you against buying used? You can get a huge discount and at this level and I imagine that you could find something close to perfect condition! | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Someone mentioned Joseph Audio... There is a pair of Rm7si local to me for $650 (pm me if intersted) I actually demo'd them awhile back but preferred my home made Jamo D 830's...Which brings me to another option... The Jamo d830's if you can find ... | |
| Audioresearch VSi75 VS. PrimaLuna Since you don't care about $, would you sponsor my rig? A few measly thousand should do ;) | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Used Usher BE 718.Haven't heard them, but they get great reviews, are beautiful and have beryllium tweeters.My last pair of speakers, Paradigm Sig. s2's have beryllium tweeters and they sounded incredible. I'd recommend some Paradigm S2's but I ca... | |
| Please Help me decide what to do lol, I overthink everything Schubert. It really is difficult being me.I have been beating my head against a wall for the past 24 hours trying to figure this out. That I Decco with level 2 mods is $830, for $1100 I can do a nova pre and nova 220...... | |
| Any DAC comparable to my Linn Akurate CD ? My question is: is there a way to open up the Linn and install a digital input? The unit has a dac for the internal cd player, no? | |
| Best 2.0 powered computer speakers? I had a pair of Krk rockit 8's hooked up to my i phone via 3.5mm to Rca's. I was, therefore, using the dac in my i phone... this was NOT what I would any longer consider to be good sound. Bass and high treble are accentuated and there wasn't much ... | |

| iPod as source I did a/b comparison between cd's and a wadia 170i ipod dock. I used the same songs, running through the same dac. I stream spotify premium. I could not tell any difference between spotify premium and cd's.The sound was very good. Honestly, I thin... | |

| Do I really need a preamp? Wondering this same thing myself as the benchmark and oppo have pre amp capabilities.I had to sell my rig because of financial reasons and when I rebuild, I'd like to bypass a dedicated pre amp if possible.On a side note, my last pre amp was a lig... | |
| Does JBL get a bad rap? Not to jack the jbl thread, but I think older pioneer speakers, along with Zu Audio and Tyler Acoustics offer speakers with folded woofers like you were talking aboutGreat thread btw. Had no clue about jbl's newer stuff you are talking about! | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I had the same problem with Paradigm Speakers. I've owned 6 pairs in the past 3 years, none had sequential serial numbers, some had mismatched binding posts and my last pair of Signature 2's (awesome speakers) had mismatched 8" drivers in color. I... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? Interesting thread as I've always liked the idea of powered monitors. I've had the KRK rokit 8's and also a mackie srm450 at one point. Both good for what they are and I've always been intrigued by self powered speakers.Didn't know atc is so expen... |
