| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @lonemountain No it was huge like a barn. But speakers were off to one side as I recall. | |
| 15 in full range drivers @zagorskia I see this is a paper cone. Is there any coating on it? C37 lacquer Used this on my untreated paper cone F-R. Figured I had nothing to loose as the breakups made it un-listenable. Had it shipped from Austria. Put on 1 coat and sti... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @gdaddy1 I tried those Harrison attenuators a while back and they killed the sound. Well that kills that idea. People on Amazon said different ;) Not sure about Paul McGowen. I would like to know what he or some other guru thinks. | |

| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @lonemountain I agree about set-up. The active 100’s were set up in the owners house so no problem there. Could it have been the Naim pre-amp? Thinking about this some more, maybe it is the wider front baffles and square box (resonant?). Comparin... | |
| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated @painter24 Thanks for the re-recommendation on the Atoll. I will definitely see what I can do to get one. It gets a little tricky in that some are over 20 years old. Looks like the signature is the current model of the IN200 and IN50. Not sure i... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results He said he likes the volume knob UP around 2 to 3 o’clock position. He said the higher volume position has a "HUGE" impact on the resolution/sound. How the heck can you accomplish this volume position? Harrison Labs 12 dB RCA Line Level Audio ... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @lonemountain Why would they sound boxy and not open? Maybe there is another reason then. Soundstaging was not so good on the active 100’s I heard. Like Naim, part of the "flat earth audio" sound? You are a "US Importer/Distributor of ATC Co... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions pair of ATC's at John's and they sounded sort of boxy to my ears. Not very open or layered so that is what I look for to begin with. @bigkidz very well said. I think it has to do with the dome midrange. Detailed and uncompressed dynamics are ... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? All other variables being the same, not necessarily. IMHO, long term is more about deciding on preferences, not figuring out how something sounds. Sometime... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? Do you need one? No. Do you want one? Of course you do. | |
| No sneering Please @fstein Where are you finding 120v? Everything I find on Amazon is 48 v or 240 v, etc. | |
| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated @fstein I would like to through the Topping in the mix but all I see on Amazon is 240 volt or 48 volt. Nothing at 120 volt. Topping PA3S Power Amplifier MA120702 x 2 Class D Fully Balanced Single Ended AMP 80W x 2 | |
| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated @tomic601 I am a buyer for the cast off MC240 stricken by polite… What does that mean? I am interested in your thoughts on this amp compared to other tube amps. It's the only tube amp I have heard in my system. I do not know what tubes McInto... |
