Class D Technology
You said it booboobaer.   I haven't read the entire thread, but have followed its progress, and I know there are lots of smart people here talking about Class D switching noise, and zombies coming out of the power supply, and modules and cats and ... 
Heat/Efficency of Speakers
redfuneral, I don't know where you are, but I understand your dilemma...somewhat.  I'm in Phoenix, and for some reason the room I chose in the house for my office doesn't seem to get as much AC airflow as some of the other rooms.  From June throug... 
Onkyo C-7070 Reference CD Player: Are these any good? What are they similar to?
Sorry, don’t own that particular model and haven’t heard it, but I still have one of Onkyo’s universal disc-changers from 2004 and it’s not only still going strong but sounds fine to me. I also have an Onkyo receiver running my home theater setup ... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
Hey rlb61, congrats on the success. I’m coming in late, but read your thread with interest. I’ve owned B&W in the past, loved the 805 series. I’ve written in other threads how the new D3 are really nice, and sound great, but for the incrementa... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
Seriously Doug Schroeder, this is where you want to start an anti-Darwinism discussion? You really want to hitch your wagon to this thread, and this particular individual’s post, for that purpose? I’ve talked to you before - I strongly suspect tha... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
And now the thread has officially derailed, gone off the tracks, and plunged into the gorge below.  First it was hijacked by someone whose only interest is self-promotion, and now it's becoming a commentary on people who spend amounts of money bey... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I'm not a stats guy - math was never my strong suit - but seems like without them we're flying blind in this thread, and most other threads that ask why a particular brand is being frequently sold off.  I don't know anything about Raidho's sales f... 
Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers
Those Monitor Audio Silver S2 speakers are nice - they're around $1000 new if I'm not mistaken - but spending $2000 to $2500 on an integrated amp and less than half that amount on the speakers seems to the reverse of what you'd want to do.  I've a... 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
I find it very interesting that people are taking the ownership of Tidal into consideration as part of the process.  I honestly don't know much about Jay-Z, I just never took the time and his music isn't on my radar, so I can't comment about him e... 
Class D Technology
If you are listening to Diana Krall, and you hear Katy Perry, the problem is much larger than amplifier technology.   You either have one heck of a malfunctioning system, a set of speakers that were dropped out of a truck before being delivered to... 
Class D Technology
@sonicbeauty I can understand this.  I once owned a Honda Accord that started making this sound that can only be described as sounding like the car was passing wind.   Every time you stepped on the accelerator, that first second of acceleration, i... 
Help Choosing Speakers
Something seems amiss here...the Triton 1 has 10 drivers, and the Signature SE has two 10" woofers.   You did say the room is 11x12x10 yes?   Am I the only one who thinks those speakers are too large for an 11x12 room?    
Class D Technology
Let me add that while I do concede that my engineering knowledge falls short of what many of you possess, there's still a lot of bat guano peddled on these forums.   I like it here, and there are some very smart, very cool, very interesting people... 
Class D Technology
I have two integrateds, an Audio Research VSi55 running KT120s and a Peachtree Grand X-1 (Class D).  Through both pairs of speakers I own, Wilson Benesch Arc and BMC PureVox (both retail for $6500, whether these qualify as low-fi, mid-fi or otherw... 
BW 800-805 D3 series VS 800-805 Nautilus/S series
The 805 Signature has held their value amazingly well.  I believe they retailed for $3500 new, and they still command 75-80% of that on the secondary market for a nicely-preserved pair.  And really, even the N805, 805S and 804S still sell for a he...
