| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. @kennymacc Can you list the upstream gears for both the listening sessions of the JBL and the Jubilee? Would love to see what gears dealers are pairing these giants with... | |
| Volti does it again! If any Volti user has access to a quad of AHB2, I highly encourage one to try to do a biamp quad monobloc setup pushing them. Of course up front you need world class preamp and dac. I was about to get a volti, but changed my mind and got a JBL 436... | |
| Why so many ARC Ref 6SE preamps up for sale? This might be slightly off topic, but can anyone confirm what kind of volume control module/mechanism the REF6SE has? | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system One word...horn. We are born, play abit, and we die, can’t take it with us. If I were you I’d get the JBL Everest 67000. You can even use whatever upstream equipment you have for awhile to figure out next step. If 80k on speakers are abit over th... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation I just want to add: For anyone using the 4367 with standard smaller wattage amps. Please try biamp it. You’d be surprised how much "air", the atmospheric data and details there can be. I started with a pass lab x250.8, then a single ahb2, then 2... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? If you removed the passive crossover from your JBL 4367’s and connected your amps directly to the compression drivers, I can assure you hiss would be audible to some degree Nope. You are describing the scenario of what a normal system with an a... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @asctim , I did just that. Starting with 1 AHB2 with a different speaker, notice the bass is tighter and it was not sterile/cold sounding. Smooth, highend, you are hearing really the upstream/preamp. Then got another one, mono mode to each 4367, ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? man you guys are still at it. It works, so depends on your situation, if you can get a hold of it, try it. If you don’t hear the diff, sell it. I have 4 AHB2 bi-amp on mono-mode to JBL 4367, which the crossover network is well built even its pas... | |
| Would Luxman work well with JBL? Listening fatigue most commonly caused by distortion/compression, which occurred most frequently at (you guess it) the end of chain, your speakers, being the largest mechanical device that produce the actual sound. And the most common cause for di... | |
| Would Luxman work well with JBL? I have the 4367, as well as experience eith other horns. The sensitivity rating usually is: 1000hz test tone measure at 1 meter on axial. It tells you absolutely nothing about the actual sound coming out from the speakers. whether its coming out ... | |
| VAC Preamplifiers As REN V owner I also would like to say that its indeed an unbelievable pre. But alot of people asking/fiving opinions online regarding preamp online don't seems to understand that its also about component matching. I have several pair of spea... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 I haven’t post my journey for awhile as op. So Originally I had JC1+ARC LS preamp. Alright, but the pre was giving too much gain, and ARC pre to me unless reference, it’s just low price/performance. Then I got the BHK pre, was not expecting much... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 For me, after trying all the big names both local or overseas, Pass Labs and Vitus are my "retirement system" components. No need to get anything else (amp/preamp). You might get different sound, but not better. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 Since Covid, I had alot of time to evaluate my system, and ended up with BOTH sia025 mki and a pass x250.8 . Now they both beat my old JC1 easily, but between them I had a hard time with. Both are extremely capable but in different ways, sia025 is... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated VITUS SIA-XXX and above.Will obliterate all the above candidates. |
