| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair What "quality issues" have you heard about Maggies?In my experiences of 30 years, they are one of the most consistent and reliable audio companies around.I notice this is your first post. Are you a dealer?Or did a dealer who does not sell Maggies ... | |
| The Best of the English Sound EjlifThanks and I have thought about that, but if you search other threads, you will see that the cheapo Behringer A500 is supposed to be a "giant killer."I am using two of them as monoblocks and biamping, where they barely break a sweat as I use ... | |
| The Best of the English Sound Actually was thinking about the P3SER but without knowing anything about them....or the various models for Spendor...A bit smaller is nice, if only to save space on the desktop, but then again, slightly larger might have better bass, and therefore... | |
| The Best of the English Sound Thanks everyone.Jax2, as usual, I appreciate your analysis and comments.What is changing from the photos you saw is that I am going from 2 to 4 or even 6 bigger (32") computer monitors, so the speakers will be even farther apart.Re ATCs sounding f... | |
| Want to Blow Up My Stereo Not to fuel your aggravation, but unless you have a seriously weird room, I must admit that if the visual and sonic center of my stereo were not the same, I would also want to blow up my system.Having wrestled inch by inch with the placement of se... | |
| Harbeth - Compact 7 ES-2 used OR P3-ESR new ? JferreirI am interested in a pair of the P3ESR's for nearfield use on my desktops at home and the office.So I too hope you enjoy them and look forward to hearing further thoughts and opinions.Are you using your Naim Nait amplifier to drive them? A... | |
| Retro Hi End Trivia Question Quatre speakers? Are you sure? | |
| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries Pugstub,Before completing my research, I impulsively ordered a Nuforce UDAC.It arrived quickly, and I was also impressed with the finish, build quality and cool LED light. Very small and USB powered, so also perfect for traveling.On this morning's... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker My ATC SCM7's are pretty smooth, even with cheapo Behringer amps. Having chased audiophile nirvana for about 30 years now, I have grown to associate "resolution" with fatigue.In college, I had a pair of Magneplanar MG II b's which although lacking... | |
| Archjive LP to Hi Res Digital - Worth It? I gave up turntables about 15 years ago, but your proposal sounds like the future to me.Good luck, | |
| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries Jax2Thanks for the excellent research and links - just finished working my way through them. Justin from Pico sounds like a true enthusiast - could be a one box solution...Jondkaufman - the Wavelength looks very nice too - not sure about the weigh... | |
| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries Thanks for ideas so far....Swampwalker, have you listened to the music streamer?Re one box vs. two, I don't mind an extra box, cables and a bit of weight, but would want the performance to justify it.I have both the Grado headphone amp and a somew... | |
| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver Further to Cyclonicman's point, I confess that I a) bought an Audio Research DAC 5 in black not because I needed a DAC, but because what the heck, it just seemed so cheap and might make a fun toy, and b) Later, I jumped at the chance to erase any ... | |
| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver Hoping we don't lose focus on the black/silver debate, we could add red vs. blue vs. green LEDs to this discussion. | |
| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver I have never owned McIntosh, but they have their own timeless Mc style.Nakamichi machines came in both black and silver, but I think I am partial to their black machines. |
