Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200
@budburma Congrats! Which Antipodes did you land on? From what I recall, they tend to do well using the AES output more than anything else, so consider that if you are not already using it. Most modern music servers will benefit greatly from quali... 
Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200
@budburma I was just talking to someone about the N200 vs the N10 today and was reminded of this thread. Did you ever move forward one way or another? Curious to hear where you landed.   
Concrete Slabs
Exactly where would you be pouring concrete? From my understanding, while concrete would help resonances somewhat for isolating components on your rack, the larger benefit is to get the most performance out of your speakers. Resonances from the sp... 
help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio
@dpm2340 Choosing between the two will come down to your sonic preferences. From my experience, Audionet is exceptional every step of the way, but it prioritizes a rich tonal density and balance (that many electronics manufacturers can only dream ... 
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
@p05129 I have heard the XVX and the Lansche in different rooms with different electronics, but I still have a very clear understanding of what each speaker delivers. In my suggestion, I provided one that I thought would most closely resemble the ... 
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
@stringreen Have you been to many of those lately? We just saw Muse in concert last weekend and the first thing my wife said was “this sounds shitty, I’ve been spoiled by your system.” :)  
Axpona 2023
The Gold Pass is sold out but all others are available. I’ll be attending and helping out with a few exhibitors. Happy to meet anyone who will be there!  
DId you get that paperwork from the IRS about purchasing? over $600.00
@gmosley This was delayed by the IRS for this tax year. It was in the news a month or two ago. They will put it into effect this coming year.   
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
+1 Mike Lavigne.  If I had $100K to spend on speakers to try to beat the XVX, I’d be looking the Lanche No. 7.2 at ~$90K. Specs are fairly similar, though the Wilson is twice as heavy.  Lansche can deliver similar tonal richness, if not more tha... 
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
@navyachts I love SVS subs, and I own a pair of the SB-4000, but i have to respectfully disagree with folks recommending the SVS Micro 3000. The specs look appealing, but I’ve had two friends who have owned them and they just don’t go that low, an... 
More Bass
@navyachts As mentioned, I owned both the Focus SE and Aeris. I found that smaller "full range speakers" and subs were the way to go for my room. With subs, you have better dedicated control of the bass through separate amps and are less limited t... 
More Bass
I would agree with @hickamore on the bass performance of the Signature SE and the benefit of using subs to supplement. I have previously owned both the Focus SE and Aeris. In both cases, while they let out big sound, they did not offer the benefit... 
More Bass
@navyachts Can you provide the dimensions of your room including ceiling height? I agree with others on the sealed vs ported design. Especially if the Signature SE have more than 3-4’ feet around them without walls, the 22Hz sealed will not charge... 
Connecting a phonostage to a processor.
There is no right way and only you can experiment and decide. When I had the Legacy Aeris and Wavelet system, by default it required everything to be processed in digital to be converted back to analog. While many reviewers, owners, and measuremen... 
The new Borresen M1's...a new direction?
@thespeakerdude While I cannot comment on the rest of the review / reviewer’s setup that you shared, I can say that the Borresen M1’s were placed not too far from walls when I heard them at the Florida Audio Expo. On top of that, there were NO tre...
