| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k denon1, thanks for the offer. After more research and suggestions, I may get in touch. Speaking of Esoteric, can anyone compare the K-05x to the K-07x? The specs appear the same, but, of course, specs don't tell the whole story. | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k rpeluso, can you describe the sound of the Luxman D-05u? Thanks. | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response I have the 936's in a room that is 21 x 12 x 9. Because of non-audio constraints, I have them on one of the long walls with my ears about 91 inches away from the tweeters. Almost a near field setup. The bass absolutely does not overwhelm the ro... | |

| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound I have only heard Maggies in stores but I owned a pair of La Scalas for a couple of years. They are extremely dynamic speakers that can give a feeling of listening to live music. The bass doesn't go extremely low but it is very quick and realist... | |

| Has anyone heard the Focal Aria 936? Thanks for the responses. I took a leap of faith, and ordered a pair from Music Direct. So far, so good. They have the extra bass extension I was looking for and the bass is also better defined than in my Spendors. There is also nothing bright... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Like others, I see audio mags as similar to car mags. Mostly appealing to the fantasies of their readers. Sort of a modern Sears "wish book" for adults. I will say that most of the car magazines do a better job of balancing their coverage of ub... | |
| Has anyone heard the Focal Aria 936? Sorry, I meant to type Spendor SP1/2's. | |
