| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold I try to have a little coffee before trying to find the keys :) Always been impressed with the bass from Totem. Is it their drivers or attention to driver/box dimensions? | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Dad had a pair of ADS 910's (still has them) paired with a McIntosh 2125 and C28. Yamaha Turntable, Nakamichi Deck. He had lots of friends into audio too. I remember Stuarts Audio in Westfield NJ had talks and I would go run around with the other ... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? It depends on the design quality, but for me in general a larger speaker has made the performers and scale image larger. If that's what he means I agree. If he's using the term to mean "in the room presence" as in singer in the room, which can be ... | |
| Stupid class A question More like what it draws in heat. Probably 250-watt light bulb or so. Most of the heat in class A is wasted but worth it to me. | |
| Is there a list of full-range speakers (20-20kHz) somewhere on the internet? IME full range speakers that sound good start at around $8K. That's being generous. What's your budget? | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated Hard to know. I had a pair of Cornwalls and preferred my Coda CSIB to the Leben CS600. Never would have thought that if I didn't have them both in my living room. I have a 550AXII it's a great amp but haven't heard it with the CW4's. Should be fu... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @Mahgister what if you are like tubebuffer and have a $400k system in your tool shed? Classy but not hifi? | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? It takes exposure to "quality" "properly set up" systems to be able to build a point of reference. If someone doesn't have the practice or trained ear it kind of becomes a series of judgements on top of marketing hype (or always is). After exper... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I'll toss in the usual Verity Audio plug. Nice pair for sale on the Mart right now. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I've never heard the Cary of the Circle Labs amps so it wouldn't be right to answer, just saying they do better with more power behind them, especially if you want scale or great imaging when you start to push higher volumes especially with tubes ... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? For me, the ideal setup has both. Never heard a solid or tube replacement for each format, not to say it doesn't exist. For tubes, I'd go 75WPC plus IMO. | |
| millercarbon I've been on and off this site for nearly 2 decades and I miss some degree of banter. The ones I'd rather see go are the ones that own something that's "absolutely the best there is" and they get up and scream into their bullhorn for months and mo... | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? What is you were introduced to an $8K speaker that you really liked or a $4K amp that made your $5K speakers really shine? I can see having a budget as important but some might save longer or work harder for something they like better. I guess I'm... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I have the 501SP with the Luxman 550AXII 20WPC class A but 95WPC A/B (so I've been told by the importer) always suspected these had more watts. It drives them really well. I had a 30WPC tube amp and thought that was enough until I hooked up the Lu... | |
| Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs? @ozzy point/good question that should be examined. Don’t just go with your thoughts bobbydd. Listen to these bass hounds!!! |
