| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Not sure where you are located to go audition. Your amps are rated around 50W, but have fairly high current based on what I remember of them. It's kind of like having a 90W SS amp. What size room did you say? How do you listen and to what type... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Depending on what folks like and are used to hearing or are told what to hear, there are tons of great value speakers. if you are going up to 15k, I went with Vandersteen Quatrro's.. I personally feel they are the sweet spot in his line. The car... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 The Vandy works great with any good amp. That said, I spoke with a friend in Atlanta who has the Treo's and uses the small Belles. Said it's a match made in heaven. As Tomic said they put money where it counts. I heard it once with Treo's and l... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wow, I just realized I'm on my 5th DAC since this thread started. I rarely upgrade that often. Never had until I met Matt...thanks a lot. ;).... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My prototype DAC update. Spoke with Sam today. He has the cabinet in for the power supply and is ordering the StealthCaps. He's going to extract the DAC from my Memory player in two weeks and then rebuild it and make a lot of changes. I can't ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 Yes, as a woodworking person I can say that Richard has a GREAT veneer guy. I personally got mine painted in Audio Havana Black. It's an upgrade and isn't cheap, but man do they do a great job. He has some cool veneers too. So glad you are tak... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Yes, too many folks equate efficiency to driving speakers. Current and control are key. This is why you can have synergy with a speaker adn amp that 'seems' under powered, but really isn't. You can also have a bad match just hooking up some beh... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Matt. I agree with you on our Memory Player server. I'm really pumped about what they are doing with my DAC. Can't wait until he gets the Stealth Caps in and he can start to build it so I can get my full set up breaking in. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Yea, he's like I am, very very selective. I haven't heard their other models, but I bet they are also very good for their prices. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Funny story. My buddy Matt just got back from the NYC Show and told me how much he liked the Harbeth anniversary 40.2....those are the ones I just posted about loving. He totally agreed with me. Funny as we both are hard on other speakers. We ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series "No CT you can post whatever you like"Gee, thanks for the permission. Appreciate that.Dave, you don't read all my posts, so your statement holds no water. You are a dealer and are using this forum to sell your products. I guess that's ok with A... | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ I don't know if it would or not. I just let folks do their thing and I listen, lol. With the MS, I can't even move my speakers. Have to use a neighbor or most of the time a fellow hi fi friend, lol. Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection came over t... | |
| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 Guys, I know this is stupid, but if you can try the Belles amps, you may be shocked. For my ears, I have found them to be as good as products that cost much more. I read folks say that all the time and cringe, lol. There are some products that ... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Congrats on your speakers. Hope you love them for a long time. | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ Guys, I run AQ cabling throughout my system. I have the WEL TOTL balanced interconnects. All power cords are Hurricane. I own a Diamond USB cable which is very very good and underrated I feel. I'm going to sell off the Niagara balanced and Wate... |
