| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Holt got it right. | |
| Wondering whether to upgrade amplifiers ? Like the suggestion of the NAD Master series. So many of us guilty of creeping up on improvements, which is understandable, but really represents false economics and oft a needless chase, unless you like that sort of thing.Purchasing once well is... | |
| Quadratic Diffusers Yes, the GIK look like classy barcodes. Mine are dark wood with black cloth 48” tall. Top left corner of photo in weblink. They work quite well sorting out errant waves and simply clean up the soundstage as designed. | |
| ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT I’ve carefully factored in all aspects and concluded; the purchase of ATC SCM 50 ASLT towers in rosewood ordered through Big Ear Stereo in Tempe, AZ. (Unabashedly free plug there)I love my Isoacoustics Gaia ll already in use under my ATC 40A towe... | |

| ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT I do not find the the ATC PROs ugly, I’ve owned Merlin monitors in black rough and it was fine. My original post simply asked for confirmation and/or insight into my understanding of the identical nature and performance of the two ATC products.No... | |
| New Set Up Spotted the reference to ATC SCM 20. I would simply add active to that already great ATC speaker. | |
| Audio Mirror vs Prima Luna tube DAC I've nothing terribly insightful, but do own a couple of Vlad's older DAC endeavors and they are quite good. The new one should be dynamite. I've listened to the Rega and it is competent, not particularly detailed or dynamic.I guess I'm saying s... | |
| Need a high-WAF stand solution Probably blew your budget, but these are gorgeous and mind blowing. https://soundorg.com/x-reference/Quadraspire has always been legit. And yes, I do own this rack, 4 tiers. | |
| Quadratic Diffusers Wow! Those really are alien. Cool and freaky. I run the GIK diffusers with great affect behind ATC 40A towers. Dark wood with slots. https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/4a-alpha-panel-diffusor-acoustic-panel-bass-trap/They are self standing 4... | |
