| 590axii in the house @chorusI get the recommendation on speakers first, however, I could not get that to align. I literally have two shops to visit in my state, and after the visit to the first, I'm down to one shop. That one shop had one speaker that I'd consider.I... | |
| 590axii in the house Did you compare the 590 to any other amps before you purchased? What is the 590 replacing? I’m getting out of HT, so multi channel Marantz and Paradigms. There is a serious shortage of audio shops in my area, and even a worse supply of electronics... | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line Have not heard it. Thinking of taking a road trip what country? | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? It is not the speakers that lack bass it is probably the room acoustic while you may be correct, I cannot spend 19K on speakers that don’t sound right during an audition, and then HOPE I can make them sound better in my home.It’s possible I’m exp... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Focal Sopra 2.There is an amazing shortage of speakers in my state to audition, so I spend hours reading online. I was pretty convinced these speakers at $19K would be fantastic.Auditioned with moon separates but was disappointed in the total lack... | |

| My Room Size for Speaker Consideration @yyzsantabarbara thanks for sharing info about those panels, they seem to be very popular as they're seen in a lot of pics and videos of systems. | |
| My Room Size for Speaker Consideration @sounds_real_audio Suggested US Retail Price: $750,000/pair if you're willing to make the difference from a $9500 speaker, sure! | |
| My Room Size for Speaker Consideration @erik_squires room correction is on my radar.considering a moon 600i v2some pretty good deals here and on usaudiomart, as I could never consider this equipment new. | |
| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System @barts I'm on my 2nd GL1800 (with Aluma trailer) and have been waiting for Honda to make the needed changes to the top case and passenger backrest - they finally did that for '21. The '06 sits besides my '18 Aprilia Tuono and '18 Tiger 1200. | |
| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System I'm a confused kid in a candy store - so many options it's overwhelming.I'm (mentally) prepared to do room treatments. My previous 5.1 equipment was just turned up and I ignorantly dealt with the noise.I'm 55 with a bunch of hobbies, so I'm makin... | |
| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System Let’s get you started, do you currently own a system that you can build on or are you starting from ground zero? As posted elsewhere, I just sold my entire 5.1 system (10 yo) with Marantz separates. Those previous purchases were not done with ... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening I didn't count, but a guess the responses are 50/50.I have been reading more since posting the question:- horns (which I've never owned) seem to have good impact at low levels- loudness (which I do have) also has made a differenceMaybe combining t... | |
| Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers) @millercarbonIt was suggested to me that a tube amp (not preamp) is not recommended to play all day long, which is usually what I do. Do you have a different opinion?And I should have stated that I listen to pop, rock, soft rock, country, light hi... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening @andrewkelleyMy 5.1 was Marantz preamp and amp with Paradigm speakers all the way around, nothing high end. I want to get out of HT and go 2 ch. I visit a couple local shops and realize my equipment is poor for 2 ch.Sell all that and upgrade to so... |
