| Customer Service Experience with REL I had a good experience 10 years ago with Rel when my Stadium III amp blew and again when the woofer seized. They gave good advice and steered me to the proper channels to get it fixed. It was way out of the range where I would have expected servi... | |
| About users with hidden agendas I've been a member of this site since 2006 and have seen all kinds of posters come and go. There have always been individuals making money by guiding conversations, pitching products, and placing their contact information in threads. I've been con... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? This question is kind of like explaining driving a high performance car or drinking a good scotch or seeing a beautiful woman. If you don’t have the perspective, your priority should be to get it. Refinement, engagement, energy, synergy, dimension... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) Find a speaker amp cable combination that has a midrange you really like. From there you can experiment some. If you get mids right (and I believe it’s a personal preference to some extent) you will be on the path to audio purification. | |
| Dynaudio Special 40 Can these play loud? I had a pair of low sensitivity speakers and it was too difficult to get them to play loud with a 150 watt amp. | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. I've owned a bunch from Rel the older Studio 3, S/3, S/5, Rythmik FG12, SVS SB3000. I owned the Rythmik and SVS side by side. I thought the Rythmik maybe had a slight edge. Fast forward a few years and had a system with a sub again I checked Rythm... | |
| About users with hidden agendas I agree with much of the above about be wary of the hype. Some of these guys that are making comparisons with gear costing thousands of dollars but they have one speaker in a corner and the other in a hallway with no reflection point (like mine). ... | |
| Rooftop solar panels impact on audio SQ Zero impact that I can tell. Our solar inverter is hooked to a 30 amp circuit in our breaker box. I’m pretty sure the inverter gives very stable power when there is sun. When there isn’t it powers down. Had it for 15 years and have done comparison... | |
| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton Haha good one! | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @grannyring did you have these cables prior to the new speakers and amp changes? Just curious about the differences in cable transition if from old to new components. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jjss49 The room was large, larger than I would prefer, roughly 30X50 I think. The amps and pre were New Audio Frontiers, 211 monos. Sources were digital and vinyl, not sure of the name. What struck me is that the sound was so good, so effortless ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I'll just throw out another favorite that I heard recently, the Cessaro horn speakers. I've always used the term effortless, but these speakers redefined that term for me. My logical self melted away and I wasn't listening to frequencies or extens... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” I find if you have "It" you will likely have problems with the less than perfect and bad recordings. Realism or transparency (or whatever you call it) can be a double edge sword. | |
| Honesty is the best policy...I think. If they don't have a fix I would include their number in the ad so people can call. It's as much their issue as it is yours. Seems suspect or "sus" as the kids say. | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @jbhiller I don't know about ASR or the rest, you may have mixed me up with another poster. I owned the Coda while I was on a speaker binge last year. I wanted to try a few speakers _CW4, Spendor D7 and Gershman. I found the Coda to be neutral, ... |
