| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? "Full range driver" = compromised in every range. There are different tekton models.

| Question for current Sourcepoint 8 users Cancel the backordered bookshelf and order the 888 mofi floorstander. You won’t need a stand (easy peasy). | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? If the music playing doesn’t move air/make your whole physicality respond to it or doesn’t vibrate the abdominal cavity like a didgeridoo, it’s a no-go for the most part. But, dudes who live in closet sized apartments with neighbors in all direct... | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? 95db sensitivity, not big, 700/pair With 2 watts, you'll probably be sitting at 90db-ish with decent enough bass in that 12 by 10 room. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/monitors-loudspeakers/mini-lore-monitor/#color If you w... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» @noromance I have a SME sitting in storage somewhere, donated to me by a friend when he passed away (it’s being retained in his memory)....but, i don’t use it because i’ve got Daniel Hertz Master Class, which takes my digital files straight back ... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» I go to this mom/pop Thai restaurant. Mom/pop are constantly arguing/fighting the entire time grub’s made and it is cheap. Service is poor (eat a lot and get your ass going seems to be mom/pop’s motto). But, omg, the food’s amazing!! Filet mignon ... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» He is wrong about a few things. The 'bullsh' 'cheap' headphones actually sound pretty good these days. I am shocked by what I hear from a cheap pair of hifiman headphones these days. My area has lots of 'younger' hometheater dudes, diy'ing thei... | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest @larryi Most probably, never ever stop by the creepy reel to reel dude's house to buy any gear. He'll probably have it priced low to attract dozens of suckers. When you do show up, he might just boil you in his serial boiling cauldron along with ... | |
| LoFi @rvpiano If you are already heavily invested in conventional 2 channel hifi, conduct an experiment...which is moving yourself closer into nearfield 4, 5 or 6ft from speakers and adjust toe-in. Determine if some additional level of envelopment/imme... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Huh, what? He needs to buy used with 20k for max value?? What?? Speaker: Tekton Epic 15 ($2400, new, made in the USA) Subwoofer: Tekton Cinema Sub ($1050 new) Amp: Schiit Freya+ tube preamp ($1000 new) + Schiit Wotan poweramp ($2000 new, mad... | |
| Am i sitting too close to the Center Channel? (around 3 feet) Center’s placed too low. Center should be identical to fronts. Disable center channel and just use the 2 Fronts and Surrounds. The phantom center provided by the fronts should be fine for a single listening position such as yours. | |
| LoFi I don’t think OP’s issue is low-fi vs hi-fi. It is the wrong approach of hifi, which focuses on some soundstage, separation and how things are spread out in it, pinpointing whatever. It makes an analytical mind go crazy, takes you out the music. ... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Huh, What?? Harbeth is not a musician’s speaker. This is a musician’s speaker, made by the guys who made all the musical instruments. Harbeth knows something these guys didn’t? or what? I noticed HARBETH as a recommendation. HARBETH is ve... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Returning to a hobby I abandoned two decades ago as life interfered with my personal desires. I am currently drifting between horns or BBC sound. Two different worlds, but each intrigue me. Considering Volti Audio with Cary SLI80 Integrated whil... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? This may be the time to drop the audiophile purity listening (Diana Krall on repeat @ 55 db) and go watch live shows....Orchestra, dance companies (ballet, modern, jazz dancin), rock bands, night clubs..watch that dj do you with some Chicago hous... |
