| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I tend to agree with 213. That's one of the things I was trying to say in my posts. Folks forget about the amps way too often. You can get a basic NAD BEE integrated and make great speakers sing. Rotel also makes some great integrated amps. A ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wow, it's amazing how the tech is changing from the beginning of this thread to now. Steve, how does this new cable differ from the one I have from you with the USB block (forget the name, but it's that small block that cuts the 5v signal)? What... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Sound is personal as we all know. I've built and have heard a lot of build it yourself speakers and I've just never heard a pair sound as good as higher end speakers from a larger/name brand company. That's just me, but I'd listen with open ears... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I just worked with a couple of guys who had the same question and a similar budget. You really should add the Vandersteen 2's or even the 1's to your list. I personally went to towers years ago as the physical limitation of any stand mount speake... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'm not a Thiel guy at all. New or old, so I'm probably not the best one to say. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Original Thiel or the new stuff. To me the sound is so different that the original Thiel users probably won't love the new stuff and visa versa. Even the Thiel dealers I know are highly disappointed by the new gear and are getting rid of the lin... | |
| Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC. Since some are still posting here, I have to share something that blew me away. I am still selling the Music Hall DAC and I also have my older Krell DAC that I'm selling. I was in shock at how good the Krell still sounds. The bass was always a ... | |
| Speaker help under $2,500 are you talking about the newer Thiel's or the original ones? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, thanks for that info. I think I may just get a Melco NAS/server and then I can use it as a server/streamer for now and later on see where things go and use it as the best audio NAS available. | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Russ, the problem really IS the amping. You're basically locked into that B&K amp which most folks don't own. If you need to buy a new amp for the speakers, then you are locked into things and have a product that has a very small used market ... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 I tried to edit, but was too late. I'm sure that you will chose your speakers over anything else, but my point is that if 10 people can chose their favorite speaker and then yours, I bet all 10 will chose their favorite speakers. Subjective, tha... | |
| A little help please Awesome to hear. Yes, we all love dealing with Johnny. He's legit and always gets you in under budget. He really does care and that's hard to find in most professions. There are still a few great dealers around the country. | |
| Speaker help under $2,500 Russ, I just made a post about your best ever speakers on another thread you posted on. I've heard a lot of build your own speakers and I personally have built a few in the past. I've also heard tons of speakers that are offered already built and... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Russ, how can you honestly make that statement. Sorry, but first off maybe for YOU it's the best, but have you ever heard Vandersteen 7 mkII? Have you heard the larger speakers from nearly anyone? Sorry, but there is no way that statement is tr... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today What Onix do you use? I have two of their original integrated amps that sound incredible still today. Going to sell them as I can't use them anymore, but I didn't realize they made such a powerful amp. Mine output 50 watts I think. Huge toroid... |
