| 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... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @gregdude very attractive speakers. I’ll read up on them since I know my wife wont shoot them down on looks alone. Thanks! Btw that’s why Magicos aren’t on my shortlist. |
