| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I had a pair of O/93's that made my ears ring. Tried 2 rooms and different amps and cables with no luck. It's a shame because I loved the sound and what they were capable of. 15 or so other pairs of speakers (including the same brand) and never ex... | |
| SHIPPING speakers? If UPS packs them expect them to be damaged. Make sure explain the value and how both speakers need to arrive undamaged. I've in the past shipped expensive speakers and it's risky. Drop the price, sell locally. Offer to drive them to the nearest ... | |
| Zu Audio Union 6 Supreme I could swear mine had better bass after a few weeks of play but they still sounded a little thin without the loudness button from both Luxman and Leben amp turned on. I'd allow them to play with some heavy bass material when you can. I really e... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? 1 watt should give you 96db near the speaker so should hardly be conversational at the level you are setting it. Something is off. | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? Sounds like an amp issue. Did you even control the volume from your dac or via Roon or something is turned way down (DSP)? The impedance curve is a range, like a set of stairs that the amp had to walk constantly. Nominal doesn’t mean much for a s... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? @bluethinker thanks for posting about the I-50. I owned a VSI-55 about 15 years ago and was wondering about the I-50. Does anyone know what's been done to "upgrade" this amp to the newest addition? I found the VSI a little cool, perhaps the Op ... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? I would always flip flop yearly or so between tubes and solid state. I finally came to the realization that I just listen more with tubes. Might not get some of the characteristics of SS that I enjoy but I don't think that perfect middle ground ex... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I drove mine with a few different amps, the Luxman M800 was probably the most solid with them. That was 60/120. The 590 was okay the 550AXII for low levels. You need to hear a few amps and align with your preferences and circumstances. I’ve had a ... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... It's almost like a Harbeth in the sense that it's not likely to offend you. That said, you don't want cheap power either, cause that will show. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I had the Parsifal Encore and they like to have some power 18wpc won't show you the potential of these speakers. You can also get something with a bit of bit as they are naturally pretty laid back. The Luxman rec is good but after owning Luxman a... | |
| cary audio sli 80 signature vs willsenton r800i I can only share my experience with the Willenson R8 which is KT88 and EL34. I'd say you get what you pay for. The R8 used is like $1000 and that's what it sounds like. It couldn't compete with the Mastersound, AudioNote, Leben, Luxman tube amps I... | |
| Who is Roon? I was an early adopter but I wish it had more features. Their support reminds me of chat rooms when I was in college in the early 90's. Roon radio always seems to end up playing the same songs over and over. I don't know of anything better so I ... | |
| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? @ozzy62 yes, he's probably listing his 2002 Stereophile amp of the year. Bet it's been bench tested, good as new, no original box! | |
| Zu Audio Union 6 Supreme @karl_desch I'm interested in learning more about the weight of these speakers. I tried the standard Union and felt them to be a bit thin without out using "loudness" on the Leben or Luxman I was using. I also found them to lack a bit of clarity. ... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. It depends on room boundaries and distance from the speakers. After that it comes down to preference and maybe hearing in the end. Upbringing after that. |
