| Charley Hansen (Ayre) Passed Away I am deeply saddened to hear of this. He was certainly idiosyncratic in his approach - but the proof of the pudding is in the eating - or listening in this case. Through all his work with Avalon and Ayre, he certainly proved he knew what he was ta... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? @jeffrubin I am not sure I am clear if the HDP5 contains the Roon Server - or is just a Roon endpoint. If it is a full on server - how do you configure it with music sources etc? Is there a remote configuration app? Can the app running on your sma... | |
| B&W Sold to a Silicon Valley Startup This is deeply disturbing news - but it mirrors what is happening in some other fields that have traditionally needed high talent levels and were yet niche. Like fashion - where even someone like Dior needed to take external funding from LVMH to k... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @jperry That confirms what I have been hearing around here and elsewhere. The higher end models in the Response range such as the D30R, the D40R and the brand new D48R all seem to get rave reviews. The 20R alone seems to suffer from bass control i... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @carmenc I know what you mean about the midrange. That is what got me. I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Sat in my chair mouth open, gaping. I don't think I had heard something more elegant and lush. I know that at least for a good chunk of wha... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @sbrownnw I was hoping you wouldn't say that - hahahahaha :) I was rather hoping to live with the 20R for a while instead of switching immediately. :)But- thanks for letting me know that the 148 did work with more bass heavy stuff.I think at the e... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @sbrownnw Thank you for sharing your experience. It is certainly bittersweet to hear that! I am so glad you ended up finding that the Studio 148 worked for you. The D20R has a downward firing port as well - but there was just not the degree of con... | |

| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @cmach Thank you for letting me know about your experience. I have gone ahead with a second-hand purchase of a D20R as opposed to buying it new. I managed to get a Mahogany pair that was listed on here, infact! I was worried that the D30R might ha... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @jea48 The dealer did say that it was most likely the amp running out of current. Which makes sense - since I have not heard too many people complain about ProAcs being bass shy.That said - I would love to hear from other D20R owners or people who... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? @cooper52 I heard both the D2 and the D20r this weekend. Side by side, the D2 sounded *just* a little strained and the D20R had much more of a "live-sounding" feel. Think this is what some folks refer to as "presence". It felt like a living breath... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? @cooper52 I am resurrecting this old thread since I am considering a D2 purchase and am waiting with bated breath to hear what came of the auspicious start of a beautiful friendship. :) | |
| Proac D2/D18 vs Totem Mani 2 @yakman18 Thanks for that. I did think that the amp should work with the Proacs at least for a little bit while I save for a better amplifier. Have you heard the Mani-2s? Do you have any opinions on the differences in sound quality between these t... | |
| Proac D2/D18 vs Totem Mani 2 @mattmiller Thanks, Matt! I hear a lot of people saying that the ProAcs sound great with tubes - but what they usually mean is a things like ARC vsi60 - which is in a whole other league compared to my amp, I think. :)That said, I do plan to try ou... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! @ejr1953 Thank you so much for sharing that. In a sense, I think we might be on a similar trajectory, in that I started with the source first. Getting a lossless stream to a good quality DAC has already made a big difference in sound. Since the re... |
