| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Another list of personal wet dreams...jeez! Systems In Rooms Matter (SIRM). Waxing poetic about individual components is useless. On top of that, we have personal bias and variable physiological and psychological issues. Tweak the system you go... | |
| B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2 The B&W’s are revealing and must be mated properly and placed appropriately. It’s really not that hard and the reward is a stunningly lifelike recreation of a recording. I’ve owned Focal speakers...boring. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Yes | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Yes emergingsoul...I will update system. MIT cables (since Matrix/MA series) really deliver everything I need from my system. They deliver detail, exceptional dynamics and dynamic shadings plus accurate tonality and a huge 3D holographic soundst... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? All great stuff...enjoy!! | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? The new Krell K300i Class A Integrated is gobsmackingly great! Hard to make a case for better Sonics at any price...different maybe, but not better. | |
| B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2 I’ve owned many of the recent B&W speakers, including the 702S2’s. They were very nice for the price point. The new 702’s are darker sounding and overall not as good a value as your 702’s. I also had the 804D2’s, 802D2’s and now the 802D3’... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber I have the 802D3’s which are revealing, but in the most glorious way. They display so much complex harmonic information and tonal shadings that are simply not conveyed by most speakers. My Krell delivers wonderful Class A Sonics and does so with... | |

| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... So it’s a pissing match...and why? Buy what you want and enjoy. But passive is more fun! Active is deterministic. | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable B4icu....you ARE the poster child for Specman!! You have it all figured out...except for the whole good sound thing. Enjoy whatever it is you hear 👂 | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... You lost me at desktop 😳 | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Nitro is oldo? So nothing matters but your brain...uh, no! Anyway, I watched Steve again and I have to say, he is spot on. Fools and young tone deaf rubes may beg to differ, but The Audiophiliac speaks truth! | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable I got the Audioquest cables for free...my custom MIT BIWIRES are coming soon! I’ve been through the mill and I’ve learned what works for me...and y’a can’t learn it from specs or graphs. It ain’t that simple...too many variables. The only funda... |
