| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option Thanks for the link George...I read through it, and aside from the fact that the main crux of his analysis is to ultimately sell you one of his products, the real issue I have is that he, like so many before him, absolutely cannot get his point ac... | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? I also have no idea where the "no bass below 50hz" thought comes from. Whether one considers the 800 series bright or not (I don't), I've never thought of them as light on the low end. The 805 Signature, just for one example, had great punch down ... | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? I knew this guy once, he was a co-worker of my 2nd cousin's girlfriend's roommate, and he had a pair of B&W speakers. I heard that when he played music through them, the food in his refrigerator spoiled faster. With other speakers, his milk wo... | |
| Harbeth vs JM Reynaud I recommend you buy both and spend 3-6 months listening and comparing them, and then sell the ones you like least. Seriously. It will require the larger up front investment, which may seem radical, but if this really is your last set of speakers t... | |
| How good REALLY is the Peachtree Grand Integrated? I have the Peachtree Grand Integrated. I already owned an Audio Research VSi55 tube integrated, but living in Phoenix I wanted something that would run cooler during hot summer months when I didn't want heat from tubes to add to an already warm ho... | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 Yes, fine speakers, excellent for their price point, but I'm not comfortable saying they can outperform most $20,000 speakers. Others may feel differently, but $20K buys some pretty amazing speakers these days. | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Like Bombaywalla, I'm just glad to be part of the team.Zd542, your post resonates with something that I've been thinking about as well, about people being unhappy back then and all of a sudden unhappy now. It's always been my personal experience t... | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 Pani, you think we're talking dogma, I think we're talking tastes. You don't like the sound of the Arcs, and that's your personal opinion and preference, I have no issue with that. Just the same way that I think you oversell the ATC SCM 19 - it's ... | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 I have heard the Wilson Benesch Arc many a times. Sure they have gone ahead tried new materials in order to get rid of unnecessary coloration. But then they have gone a bit too far and actually cleaned up a bit too much IMO. Some of the real music... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? You generally won't be able to tell how much modern DAC sucks until you got a really high end accurate system. That means super high damping (making integrating the amp into the speaker mandatory), plus you'll need balanced power (to reduce noise ... | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 I went through a similar situation myself, except I was coming from a pair of Proac D2 (which may have a similar sonic signature to Harbeths, I can't say but maybe others can). A good pair of Proacs was always my "holy grail" and I finally got the... | |
| Peachtree Audio DAC IT X Any experience with Rsa, what do you mean you didn't notice any difference with it on? Difference compared to what? | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues I feel for you Lalitk, how frustrating. Getting speakers like that should be so enjoyable, quite a momentous occasion, as material acquisitions go. Getting one bad pair is frustrating enough, but two bad pairs? You are a very patient man. I wonder... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues The OP clearly pointed out in the original message that the issue is more than just swirl marks, and please allow me to pile on and add that for $24K you should absolutely, positively, beyond any shadow of any doubt NOT have to do wet sanding on a... | |
