| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Boa, The problem with the Andra IIs... very hard to find on the used marketI'm sure these can be had for a close-to-used price, and here is a used pair.I've seen as many as 3 pair at once on the used market. But if you're deciding between the WP7... | |
| The most revealing redbook/dsd player under 10k? There may be an owner in the LA area, but I'm not certain. I used to own an APL Denon 3910, but I have since sold it for financial reasons. According to APL, there will soon be an LA-area owner willing to audition the NWO-2.5. I'm sure APL can giv... | |
| The most revealing redbook/dsd player under 10k? Following your last post, Trackmango, I'd ditto Tvad's recommendation of the APL NWO2. Source and preamp in one. I heard the previous iteration (NW01) play some Rachmaninov, and was overjoyed to actually hear each instrument remain distinct from t... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Get well quickly, Allsmiles. And no moving speakers around during recovery! :-) | |
| The most revealing redbook/dsd player under 10k? Does something like that exists? A player that can delivery enough seperation for all 7,8 instruments to sound clearly at the same time.If the rest of your system allows it to, yes. If it's revealing, unyieldingly analytical you're looking for, yo... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Like I said before I have no desire to own a 50,000-100,000 dollar system.You can spend less than $10K and have mind-blowing sound. Given that you like hard rock, I'd suggest a McIntosh SS amp, which mates well with Klipsch. Add a good tube preamp... | |
| Hybrid amps that can play 1 ohm loads Maybe Blue Circle? | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Boa2, Now I am a little confused.Understanding that it is always difficult to describe sound, I don't put:"dry, incisive, neutral"...in the same family as "liquid", palpable,warm musical, natural, wonderful, fabulous, gorgeous, I love it, let's ru... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? I vote to overlook your wiring faux pas, as long as you don't tell anyone that I once installed a 300B tube incorrectly. Boom boom, out goes the amp! | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? If you have the original crossovers in those 78 K-horns, the caps are surely as dry as the Atacama Desert, making the speakers sound thin and edgy. Doing the mods (re-wiring with silver, updating the crossovers, installing the horn/tweeter kit fro... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? Keep the suggestions coming, please.Call the manufacturer. If that doesn't work, call the piano store. Automotive paint is different than furniture paint, so you'll need different products. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Puremusic - pointing to an APL forum is helpful but in no way is it objective IMO.In my experience, nothing about this hobby is objective. | |
| Which is the best speaker to buy ? If you're determined to upgrade the speakers, I would recommend auditioning as many as you can. Personally, I'd upgrade your source instead. I think you'll get more reward for the effort, and the rest of your system is already very good. Just my t... | |
| The under 10K speaker I want top to bottom clarity, truth, the recreation of an event accurately portrayed in the confines of my living room, just like everyone else?Speaker manufacturers all claim to be after truth and accuracy of the recording. And yet, they all soun... | |
| The under 10K speaker I'm not familiar with the Wilson Benesch ActAudio Visions in SF carries them, and the Von Schweikerts. Both are definitely worth a listen, IMO. As I noted in another thread, the VR4Sr's got progressively better as the dealer moved them from one sy... |
