| Replacing Bryston 4BST for Aerial 10Ts "@rwroberts Thanks everyone, I’ll consider these suggestions. I think calling Bryston about repair/update work to is a good place to start." Good suggestions here about contacting Bryston and ask for more in-depth advisory and options for your ... | |
| Legacy Audio Stuff To @jpcmrc, speaking of planets people are on, dimensions, and product evolution for that matter , did you notice that you replied to a 24-year old thread from year 2000? | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @johnss @milpai @audioman58 checking back on the PSVane 12aXX "Art Series" tubes. Are you still using them? I ask becauseI kept using my MKIIs and went a bit sideways this past few years rolling back through my best vintage 1960s tubes, Mullards,... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? If you run the tubes the amps and circuit was designed to run with day-1, and you keep an eye on the bias, turn them off/on properly in sequence - some people will argue good tube amp(s) will last longer, and can be lower cost to repair - if they ... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? @calvinj "They just kept performing" If you like them and they do what you need, that’s far ahead of many others who keep trying and trying different speakers looking for something more that may or may not exist. Finding something you really... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? @calvinj "i got lucky with my gato fm6 speaker..." Absolutely, and can imagine it so. By happenstance I’ve implemented some of those exact Scanspeak drivers in a few custom speaker builds I played with just to see how it might turn out. "Very m... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @aheydorn looking over the specs for both PS and Legacy speaker models you chose in your post [and pairing with your amplifier], and simply looking at efficiency, you might want to compare the two a bit more here to get pairing ideas. One is 95db... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @aheydorn "...Both are at or above my price range so I’m looking for insights from users on these or other suggestions at or below the price range. To the OP, its confusing to some degree, and you did report already listening to both sets of... | |
| Starting my showroom again @luvtubes69 @decooney Just look at the current market and how companies are closing, being sold and consolidation. While I don’t disagree, what we do see is some level of consolidation which means someone is buying and keeping a few alive. i... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? Taking time to listen to different speakers over the years is what helped me the most to get as close as I could afford within reason - and truly getting started. From there, once I had a small batch of different speakers I liked, then re-started... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Those speakers from Aric are function-first speakers from what I see, and its possible bright lighting in the product photos could be a little more complimentary. Agree with @immatthewj if they sound great with how the drivers are configured now,... | |
| Pass XA25 for my system Good choice @sfpeloton, looking inside of it, I bet the new amp will light up and embrace your Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers quite well. | |
| Pass XA25 for my system @cbrez - I ended up purchasing a used Gryphon 120 which does 240 watts into 4 ohms. It was at that moment that I realized the full potential of the Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers. They are fantastic speakers and I just feel they really open u... | |
| Starting my showroom again Headphonesty - quote: "And let’s face it, most younger people today are living in smaller spaces (think 500 sq. ft. condos). They simply don’t have the room, or the budget, for massive audio setups. Combine that with the fact that younger gener... | |
| Starting my showroom again @audiokinesis yeah mostly Audionote, Soundlab, Eminent Technology, and others to name a few. Less often I see Zengali there, and they dont sit long. He sort of special orders those i guess. I mainly check in to see what gets traded in, and admire ... |
