Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching
Thanks @gdhal So, if I buy an amp for my 6 ohms speakers with recommended minimum power of 50wpc and if the amp has a power of 50wpc in 4 ohms and 25 wpc in 8 ohms. Am I meeting the "technical" recommendation?I know what matters is whatever sounds... 
Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching
I asked this question in another discussion but this one suits better.If a speaker manufacturer has the following specs; do they mean the recommended power in 8 ohms or 6 ohms?Specs:Impedance: 6 ohmsRecommended power: Minimum 50wpc 
6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier
Maybe I should ask differently.If a speaker manufacturer has the following specs; do they mean the recommended power in 8 ohms or 6 ohms?Specs:Impedance: 6 ohmsRecommended power: Minimum 50wpc 
6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier
Say your speakers are 6 ohms and your amp gives out 120wpc in 6 ohms.So, if I am shopping for an amp for my 6 ohms speakers and care about the amp’s power rating, I should go by it is power rating at 6 ohms, correct?I should also mention that I am... 
Is Spiking Necesarry?
True story.I have this old Jamo Sub200. Cheapo but pretty decent for the price. Using for HT only. Bought it used. It does good things but when the Hz goes low and loud, it would rattle/distort. I removed its plastic feet. Put them on it is own sc... 
Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24
@lush I have the itch of getting the SFD-1 MKii. Currently, I am using the Museatex Bitstream (unmodded) which I am very happy with. When I saw your response, I wanted to ask if you had a chance to compare the SFD-1 MKii to the Bitstream. I am cur... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS
Ryder,No problem at all! Thank you for the reply. See I liked the C7ES3 better than the Plus when I heard them at a dealer in the same setup. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to compare with the SHL5 as it was an older model they didn’t stoc... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS
@ryder just curious. No plans to change my SHL5s. If I did, I would probably go with the C7ES3 anyway. However, I would like to know how do you like your Plus vs. non-plus and C7ES3 if you don't mind sharing. Btw, I am very close getting NAP200+NA... 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini
@dogmcd I am in the same situation. Using SBT strictly as a streamer. Also found a used Aries Mini with Sbooster PS. I use it via Coax only. What are your thoughts on the sound quality between the SBT and Mini? Thanks.P.S. I currently use LMS serv... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
Definitely Duelund DCA16AG as speaker cables.  
Duelund DCA16GA
I really like this cable too. The 16ag that is. The instruments sound more real. I think it made my system more musical. I am pretty surprised to hear this much of a difference. I am running them 8ft a pair. I was wondering if it would sound bette...

chiguy said:"Will try to check out the Harbeths (never heard of that brand!)"I say: You must listen if you want to end your search :) If you like them, you will probably hold on to them for many many years until you replace them with another Harbe... 
Best small used monitors under $1000
@yogiboy my search is over after Harbeth:) Sometimes I wonder why I didn't audition them before so I could end my speakers search years ago:) 
Best small used monitors under $1000
@yogiboy Good find!@brianportugal I would just buy them really. Worse case scenario, you sell them at the price maybe even more than what you paid for.
