| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Is the distributor the only one who sells these amps or does he sell them via B&M and or online stores? If so, what he's done is back door them and ruined his product for the future. It's a terrible business practice and one that partly got ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Nab2, send me a message. Let's talk off line. Don't want to clutter the thread as I have a question or two. Thanks. | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one I'm sure that's it. All I'm saying is that most of us who care and have gone through 8 tracks, cassette , vinyl, all the video format fights cd etc are being cautious. Just like the studios | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Right, but I may have missed, but nothing says the whole catalog etc...I'm assuming they will, but who knows. I sure hope so. Personally, I'm just going to use it when streaming Tidal. I won't pay the prices of downloads these days and I refuse t... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Nab, I remember a former post of yours saying you lived in Georgia. HiFi Buys in Atlanta is a great Vandersteen dealer. He has a lot of other choices too so you can see what YOU like and they are great helping with set up too. Let us know what'... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? NAB, I know of a dealer who has a similar problem with floor joints. He put some steel plates under the speakers I believe. The Vandersteen Quatro on up is the best speaker I've ever heard of in their price ranges for dealing with bass. Richard... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Ok. It may be. Ayre told me around 9k last week. I do hope it's much closer to 9!lol | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Personally I'm very concerned about what direction B&W is going in. They were just acquired by a two year old Silicon Valley tech company this week and it could be a boon for the high end, or it could hurt it as they are the largest and most w... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one From what I was told, you'll be blown away. They just get how to do digital correctly. Some companies do great digital filtering and others analog. Steven Nuggent (Empirical Audio) has both down extremely well. Right now, my DAC is on the same... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Guys, some products will be made in China. As long as the company controls the manufacturing, the quality can be fine. That said, I personally don't think I have anything in my system that is made outside the US from cables, to all digital to ph... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one I have heard it and love what I have heard. That said, Ayre is still in the wait and see mode. If the record companies in mass, don't pick up on MQA, it will become just another great format that didn't make in main stream. I don't like the music... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Thanks Al, I just couldn't make sense of it. Wonder what happened, lol. Oh well. Buddy of mine is going nuts over his Vandersteen 5 CT's. He said he upgraded his amps and server. Said he's blown away as he made a few other tweeks and the spea... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ok, I can now share info on the Ayre QX-5 Twenty. It's nearly an all in one machine that will cost around 9k in the US. I"m excited to hear it as it streams Deezer and Tidal, can hook up to your hard drive or NAS and has a totally new DAC they... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I keep seeing that Coli has a post after my last post but it's not showing up when I open this thread. Do any of you see that post as the last post in this thread (other than THIS post asking, lol). Thanks. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Funny as that's what drew me into the Vandersteen line of speakers. They were the first multi driver dynamic speakers that sound nearly point source. That's also a reason I have never heard a subwoofer based system that is coherent to me. Double... |
