| Admittedly a bit lost @Zd542 Ah - I suspected that might be the case and was surprised that no one mentioned it. While I am not looking to replace my amp right now, when I get around to it, should I even look at tubes or should I switch to solid-state? | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Audiokinesis Those pads do sound perfect. In my case, I am lucky in that there are just two residences in my building and the lower level is a cafe which plays music all day long and I don't need to worry too much about them. :) Also my music lis... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Mesch That will be happening next weekend. I am calling a couple of dealers up today and tomorrow and setting the listening sessions up! | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Mesch ah- thanks! I think I missed the emphasis on the isolation bit. I have actually heard some bookshelf speakers which really do give floorstanders a run for their money (the Totem Mani-2, specifically). But apart from that, I had always thoug... | |
| Speaker decision $3000-3500...help Despite the extreme/obsessive focus on MA, I found a lot of other recommendations in this thread that I think could be helpful for my speakerquest as well. Thank you to all the posters on here who made the other recommendations along with their re... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Zd542 A new DAC is definitely on the cards - but for a little bit later. I would rather get really good speakers now and invest in a proper outboard DAC and maybe a synchro-mesh device later. I have been looking at DAC+headphone amp combos - and ... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Stringreen I think you may be right. The Sennheiser HD650 and the Etymotics are very very different though fantastic sounding headphones/earphones. The HD650, I find quiet, laid back and dark. The Etymotics on the other hand are transparent beyon... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Phusis - I don't know how I missed that review. I usually make it a point to read all their speaker reviews especially if they are reasonably priced. Thanks for pointing those out to me! | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Soix- thank you so much for all those recommendations. I will see if I can seek them out. | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Mesch Is there a reason you suggest restricting myself to bookshelf/monitors over a floorstander? | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Audiokinesis - once again, thank you so much. As you might have guessed, I am going about this as a three pass process - in which steps 2 & 3 are the same as what you proposed!a) Collect recommendations/suggestions from this group and see if ... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Serge_s, @Wim1983 - thanks for those tips. | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Yashu - Unfortunately I am nowhere near Nashville- but hearing the second recommendation for Proac just makes me even more eager to audition them! | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Melbguy1 - that is a brand I had no heard of at all - but the reviews of the piece do make it sound great. I don't see any dealers for Proac in the BayArea though. Might need to see what I can do about that. Also - the price point for a new set i... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost @Celtic66 - the merlins seem to be a bit out of my price range. Am I mistaken about that? |
