| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? I own an Auralic Aries G2.1. Chosen largely because of desire for a Roon device and my need for WiFi since the listening room wouldn’t allow running ethernet through the wall. Build quality and sound are very good via WiFi, possibly even better w... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. Spent a few hours with the Epikore 11 yesterday. They’re stellar. Heard them with powered via 3 different amps: Bluesound, Anthem STR, and MA 12000. It didn’t matter much how they were powered, it was a treat to listen to them. They present a ... | |
| Anthem STR Upgrade Worth It? I have a similar setup and was told by a couple sources that i trust to consider a Pathos amp such as the Logos or Kratos if I wanted to move away from my Anthem. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I’d suggest spending some time in the Chicago area (or similar large market). With a little planning you could knock out some great auditioning in a couple days to see what you like. I’ve been able to listen to some great combos there such as Ra... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. They’re on my shortlist to audition and look gorgeous. I previously spent 5+ hours in 3 separate sessions with the Dali Kore, which are my all-time favorite speaker by a substantial margin. If the Epikore 11 has the same lively presentation (i be... | |
| Baffled by Pricing Strategy @chrisoshea got it, guys will randomly mix it up with a caesar or caprese when we least expect it :) | |
| Baffled by Pricing Strategy @camicut I suspect you nailed it with the free “worm wiggle” for a majority of the cases | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops I’m experiencing issues with this right now. Posted a bit ago looking for speaker suggestions and received lots of great feedback. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I’ve gone to several relatively local (within 100 miles) dealers hoping to audi... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @chauncey I use Roon through a Aries g2.1. I auditioned a number of streamers including the 3 you’ve listed. Thought the N200 and Aries G2.1 were even in sound quality but went with the Aries because it’s Roon-Ready and operates well via Wi-Fi (my... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @creditingkarma thanks for the suggestions. I’m in Wisconsin | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k Thanks all who have suggested speakers. I’ve given at least cursory looks at every suggestion posted and have just begun a process of elimination (although still open to additions). A few will need to be aesthetics-driven, a few will be based on l... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @kokakolia my current room was set up with input from a dealer coupled with a room analysis from GIK when I added treatments. I believe the room is in decent shape. @headphonedreams I listen to a wide variety of music. Looking at my qobuz, the l... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @nitrobob Legacy were on my shortlist when I was first speaker shopping a year or two ago. I have a local dealer that carries them but the showroom was essentially 300 (literally) boxes of crappy Klipsch speakers- not a comment on Klipsch, they j... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @tablejockey since I’m sitting in the room I thought I’d actually measure because my prior comment was a guess from memory. Speakers are actually about 6 ft from the side walls and about 20” from rear. I had them further out previously but could... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @grislybutter fun topic, thanks for the link! And, yes, I’ve learned that i may as well show her a picture early in the process because it can save me from reading every review/comment/smoke signal accessible only to find that it’s too ugly to go... |
