| Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers? Mr. Bourne is correct. I’d add that anything you buy is going to sound very different then the Advents, which were very good speakers, but age has definitely change their sound over the years and you’ve adjusted to them. I’m betting you’ll find mo... | |
| What are your top three favorite classical compositions? @tablejockey I like how on the album cover it seems to very casually mention “…and symphony No. 8….” in small type, like it was just a throw-away done by Beethoven. 🤣 | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... For me it was no clicks, pops or overall record noise from worn records. Sold 90% of my records. Still sad about that. @ghdprentice - I loved my Nak tape deck and when they came out with a CD player I grabbed whatever cash I had and drove to the ... | |
| Speeding sound track Highway to Hell. And almost any ZZ Top song. | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy An opinion….you should not use wires as tone controls. I agree with @yyzsantabarbara , I would suggest changing speakers, once you determine working on the room or sitting/speaker positions don’t help enough. @audphile1 suggestion on the Luxman/p... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? I own the Harbeth 30.2 and they are certainly not cold, I find them to be very neutral, clean and clear. I listen for hours on end with no fatigue. I play guitar and piano (poorly I admit) and find the 30.2’s to be very accurate. Vocals sound like... | |
| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii I have the 590AXii and love it. I plan on having it for the next 10 years if not more. Can’t compare it to the 1 for you, but I agree with @builder3 and @celtic66. I rationalized an expensive watch that way. Glad I did. | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Another point, are you still listening to 78 records or have you upgraded to 33 1/3? Also, there’s these new things called CD’s that I hear sound better then records. You do have to buy new equipment. Streaming is just a new way to listen and the ... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Get a bluesound node. Easy to set up and use, good sound, and not at all expensive. Once you actually start to stream, you’ll get why all the fuss. From there you can decide if you want to spend big bucks to upgrade. And if not for some reason, yo... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? I agree with the Dolby comparison, unless you have a ‘decoder’ MQA sounds about as good as MP3’s, if you can even play them at all ‘folded’. The MQA fees are just profit for the MQA ‘group’ and does not go to nor help musicians. I also agree that ... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy There must be well over 300 brands and styles of speakers, not even counting brands that are no longer in business. If someone can’t be satisfied with such a wide range of products, then I fell sorry for them. And why does everything need to be ... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In My 590II took only about 200 hours to really fill out. I love the way it sounds. I agree with others to play around with speaker placement, room treatment. I also found that music that has been compressed or poorly recorded sounds even worse with ... | |

| Seeking Constructive Equipment Ideas I agree with @blisshifi , listen if you can to a few speakers. Based on what you listen too, Totems, KEF's (pricey compared to what?), B&W's and Harbeth, you can check out the new KLH's. I have a small room, so having the port in the back of ... | |
| McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X Your speaker has a "High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter." you proved my point - unless you don't like the sound of your own system. Glad to see you agree with me. And you still haven't given the OP any useful opinion or advice. I gave my... |
