| Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker. Can only speak to their marketing. The murch section reminded me of Simon Pearce glass. Outrageously priced for those buying individuality. I don’t doubt they are good, just not by any measure THAT good. I wish them success…..without my money. | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? Welcome to the jungle. https://tmraudio.com/speakers/bookshelf-speakers-monitors/atc-scm20p-bookshelf-passive-speakers-pair/ | |
| Finally got a Luxman Just enjoy the hell out of your Luxman! I’ve owned so many Luxman pieces I really do not remember them all. All were integrated amps except for one receiver, the 1120 A. What a beast! So good to see them back from the abyss of Alpine ownershi... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover Slow news day. Thanks | |
| Help with speaker selection You can keep your kit and simply slot these in. Money left over for Townshend platforms. Winner winner chicken dinner! https://tmraudio.com/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/atc-scm50pt-floorstanding-passive-speakers-pair/ | |
| ATC SCM40 Cannot go wrong here. Ran the ATC 40 actives for some years with great results. They are world class speakers in either version and without being able to A/B them (passive vs active), I'm sure the actives would be more dynamic and immediate with ... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions Ran the ATC 40 actives for 4 years and they are terrific! ATC preamp, then Sugden and now Luxman. They like Gaia footers and Townshend platforms. XLR cabling definitely recommended. What you heard that is right is immediate attack, dynamics an... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Chris Romeo built all of my IC and PC. Direct ethernet. Weiss 501 DAC upgraded to 4 channel. That's all. Cheers | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy I run a loom of Furutech 4.1 terminated with the best Fururtech's best connectors for my power cables. They are fast, detailed and dynamic. celtic66 | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Keep going. This is a target rich environment, material for my doctoral dissertation: "Dysphoric Rumination and Invective Approaches Practiced by Passionate Disillusioned Hobbyists". Oh, my beeper just went off, it's time for my Haldol. | |
| Who owns / owned a First Watt F4, and what are your experiences with it ? I drive a Volvo, so I've answered the OP question as well as anyone. | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a @mspot is correct about 24/7 powered up. @mijostyn gives accurate information about the LS 3/5A characteristics. I just do not know how crazy loud or how much bass you will demand for a bedroom system from an understandably small monitor meant f... | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a More than enough. People continually underestimate well designed Class A. My wife’s system runs Luxman 509X at 110 wpc Class A/B. Speakers are ATC 20s. Closed cabinet, difficult load. The Luxman has enough current to control everything well. ... | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a Ran vintage LS 3/5A 15 ohm and currently run Weiss 501. I've run the Rogers LS 3/5A with Sugden A21SE to great affect. They require as you know lots of quality high current, not wattage. Class A is magical with these. Sugden is not balanced bu... | |
