| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? crwindy, I’m curious about your impressions of the Merlin VSMs and how they compare to the Proacs. I’ve read a lot of good things about Merlin speakers and even considered trying a pair of TSMs but never quite got to it. It appears there won’t be ... | |
| New Phishing Expedition Since the "legit" joeabrams has 1133 positive feedback posts, no neutral and no negative, plus it appears he has sold a very large number of items, it looks to me like somebody is "spoofing" his handle and he should be made aware of it if he hasn'... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Badri, just to follow up, the Response D2s and I are still friends. It actually took some time for the old Proac magic to emerge, as I think the previous owner(s) of these speakers didn't play them enough, and they take about 100 hours to find the... | |
| Proac response One SC or Proac response D15?? I enthusiastically support the addition of a REL sub to your 1SCs. I added a REL S-2 to my 1SCs and it made an enormous difference to the presentation. It takes a little experimenting to get them properly integrated, though. My room is about 22' X... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? So here's what happened: a local seller offered a pair of Proac Response D-2s at an irresistible price so it was an experiment I couldn't pass up. I've spent a couple of weeks with these, getting a sense of what they do and how they differ from th... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Thanks for the responses and input. I am entertaining the idea of different amplification, but I'm not a big fan of the tube sound. I've heard some very high-end tube systems (Aesthetix, for one) and though I see why people like them, the sound is... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? I have a REL S-2 sub which adds a lot to the presentation of the Response 1 SCs. It may be that I'm just getting restless after 11 years with these speakers and looking to rekindle the magic somehow. Any opinions about Selah Audio's Verita or Temp... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Further update, seven months later: I got the chance to hear two more speakers, one for an extended (week-long) in-home trial. The first of these, which I heard in the store, was a pair of Totem Element Fires, ordinarily out of price-range but bec... | |
| A visit to the 2015 California Audio Show It certainly made me appreciate my own system all the more. It's modest by high-end standards but it's comprised of components I chose carefully and makes the kind of music I want to hear. | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Don't know if it's necessarily a love-them-or-hate-them proposition with Harbeths. I auditioned a pair a few months ago and while I didn't fall in love with them I could certainly hear the things they did well and why so many people do love them. ... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? I guess it was the prevalence of the dealer ads that (mis)led me to the conclusion. There just seemed to be an awful lot of listings. | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Update: Since my original post, I've auditioned a few speakers, including several models from Fritz Speakers (he was kind enough to bring them over to hear in my own living room and though I found much to like in the Carreras, I still thought the ... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Thanks, everybody, for the responses. Some very useful recommendations here. Some of these speakers would be a bit difficult to audition (for example, the only Merlin dealer anywhere near me is some hundreds of miles away in Southern California). ... | |
| PS Audio PWD II opinions? Thanks for the responses. It really does sound as if the PWD MkII is a big step upwards from my present DAC. Still thinking of doing this since the price range of the used ones is so tempting. | |
| PS Audio DLIII DAC Inverts Absolute Polarity Sorry to be some 7 months past this discussion, but I just bought a Cullen-modded DL III and was wondering if anybody knows how these mods affect the phasing issue, or if they are addressed at all. I have the unit connected to a Hegel H200 via XLR... |
