| Help with upgrade bug... The dynaudio c1 confidence platinum is a damn good speaker. I had them before I upgraded to my Magico S1MKII. They have pretty good bass extension as well. | |
| How do you share the sweet spot? erik_squiresI agree 100% about the Magico S1. I have a Pair of Magico S1MKII and the off axis frequency response is damn good. The best part is they disappear really well and throw a great soundstage too. In the sweet spot they are truly incredibl... | |
| stand-mount speakers for classical music I know that they are 2k over what you want to spend but I suggest you check out the new magico A1. They are pretty damn remarkable and beat anything in the price range imo. | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age I would not change a thing in my system. I am very pleased with my speaker and headphone setups. | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair Magico A1 is incredible. Maybe a pair of dynaudio C1 Platinums. | |
| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 I was using the Auralic Aries G1 and then G2 with a Hugo TT2 and they were both great. I found it a bigger improvement than the mscaler. I have since upgraded to the dCS Bartok which I find better than the my old setup by a large margain. Also may... | |
| Chicago-area dealer recommendation I strongly recommend F1 Audio as well. If you are moving to a smaller room maybe check out the new Magico A1 they are the new bookshelf. They are incredible for the price and work well in a smaller room. You can always add a sub down the road as w... | |
| Hegel H590 vs. PS Audio DIRECTSTREAM DAC. I have not heard the ps audio direct stream. I do own a hegel h360 and the internal dac in it is not too bad. Depending on you budget I would suggest looking at the Chord TT2, Dave, dCS Bartok, MSB discrete, and the metrum onyx and pavane. I have ... | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ KenjitFirst there is no way that a Magico could ever be sold at $400. I had a pair of ls50 and they are good speakers but they are not anywhere near the level of my Magico S1MKII. This is in regards to build quality and sound. What toy are saying ... | |
| Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2 I know that you ordered the A3. I would say that if you can get a pair of the S1MKII for less than the A3 go with them if it is not to late. I got mine for the same price as the A3 but they are in the Mcoat finish a $4k premium. Like I said if you... | |
| Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2 I was in this same position last summer. I was offered a demo pair of S1MKII in m-coat around the same price as the A3. The A3 sound great but imo the S1MKII are on another level. The mids and treble are clearer with more definition than on the A... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? I can definitely recommend the Magico S1MKII. As good as the A1 is the S1MKII are even better. I picked them instead of the A3. The mid range and highs are incredible. There is something about the coherence of a great 2 way. Plus you can always ad... | |
| A Top DAC Chord dacs are good better with headphones than speakers to my ears. I sold my TT2 to upgrade to the dCS Bartok. I couldnt be more pleased. We tested this against my friends dave with the mscaler and preferred the Bartok on speakers on headphones ... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars I am pretty sure only the relentless are powering the xvx. The other amp is to power the wilson subs in the corner. I heard this setup at axpona last year it is pretty amazing. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Sorry, but this is complete rubbish.Some of the best dacs out there use ESS chips - Ayre, Brinkmann, Lumin, Mytek. I've owned a "good" R2R dac - a Metrum Pavane - and the Ayre QX5, Mytek Manhattan II and Lumin X1 with their ESS chips walk all over... |
