| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck You guys keep talkin’ about horns. @systembuilder I think your dB readings are off. You mean 100 dB or above. That is the way to go for sure. The car that goes by and shakes your house is not what you want. I have had subs for 20 years. My son an... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Klipsch are good. Volti is good. All brands mentioned are good. I personally have Crites, same size as cornwall. I think better parts in crossover. These are very efficient, approx 100dB. Can get upgraded ALK crossover if you prefer. They would ... | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming Looking at a ethernet switch. Silent Angel Bonn N8 or something. | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? I did not choose the wifi route. Currently using a CAT 6 from the router to the streamer. Can I bypass the router and install a coax to ethernet switch? What are some things to look for or some good brands? | |
| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... I used GIK. Very good people to work with. I have a 12 by 21 room. Cost about 1200.. they are 6 to 8 inches thick. I could buy more bass traps but haven’t put up on my list. I can walk around the room and the music sounds good with only a little b... | |
| Brian Eno's Turntable Design I find most of the jazz standards boring, but I don’t care what you listen to. He is to popular music as Miles Davis was to jazz. Kind of Blue is one of Eno’s favorite albums. It would be nice if people didn’t bash what they don’t like or understa... | |
| Advice regarding streaming please. I have been studying streaming relentlessly for over 2 yrs. I knew nothing. So this what I would recommend before you spend lots of money. 1. Ethernet cable from router to streamer. 2. You can add a network switch to help clean up any noise... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? Ever notice that someone posts and the same people attack? PS I just spent 500 on tweaks and it was some of the best improvements. If you are ambitious yet don't believe me, come on over. You can remove my tweaks and we will listen. | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs I wonder what the modern Dynaco amps would sound like with the Fortes? Dennid Had makes some great tube amps. He sells them on ebay for about 2k. I think they have about 20 watts. | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs I am using a tube buffer with XA25 Pass. This cost less than 5k for the two. Reno HiFi usually has some great demo or used Pass. The 25 actually has about 80 watts. If you are in Class AB with this amp your ears may hurt. The INT25 is same amp... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Schiit Ragnarak may be good leaving you money for other nicities. I think it’s about $1500. Most have given it good reviews. 60W @ 8ohms should be enough to run your speakers. The Parasound should sound good with the B&W as well. More power ... | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. I have only used Amazon HD. I think it sounds fine. But I thought my system sounded good before isolation. I want to try Qobuz one of these days. | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! It is nice to see folks crying uncle. It's also nice to read your thoughtful reflections. For me, I have decided its much easier to be nice than mean. I retired and decided I was not going to be around negative people. Then I read social media... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range So glad to find this thread. I like to know why things work. The formulas provided help. Although I was doing trial and error, I did get good results. Chronology: 1. Bought 8 Audiocrast springs on Amazon after the majority here like the results ... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Enjoy reading what others have done. 1. VTA Passive preamp with TungSol 12AU7 buffer tubes. Really nice sound. Tubes and horns are the way to go?? 2. Springs under the subs and speakers. This was jawdropping. Cost $100 for all. Reasonab... |
