| Perlisten S5t They do require some work with placement, and interaction with room, acoustics, but once they are placed properly, they are very good. @thyname , I met the Perlisten guys at Axpona. They seemed to indicate that these speakers were designed to b... | |
| Perlisten S5t 14 k a pair, for speakers made in China, seems like a lot of dough. Saw a few reviews out there. You’ll figure it out. I would never purposely buy anything from China unless I was planning fire insurance fraud. 14K?....cKaZy @baylinor , @... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Hmmm, let me think of a few manufacturers who have the technical clout to R&D/build drivers completely from scratch in-house.....Pioneer/TAD, Yamaha, Sony, Technics, Elac, etc..They would still never charge a 100k, but, if they ask me for a 10... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often If a manufacturer doesn't have the aptitude to R&D, build a driver in-house from scratch, he is not worth my time. If he’s buying drivers from a 3rd party, dropping them in a fancy looking box and charging a 100k (such a deadweight genius!), ... | |

| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Audioquest Diamond USB, 650 usd for 2.5ft (or more if you want a longer length)... https://www.audioadvisor.com/aqusbdia-0-75 | |
| budget speakers @blackbag20 Definitely a keeper for me!! I built it with the kit+flatpacks and it came out to 1500-ish dollars. It sounds immaculate with my luxman gear.... I just noticed that they've also started offering it as a fully finished speaker for 3k-i... | |
| budget speakers Get an amp with tone controls and crank the treble knob...(problem solved...bright as fk is delivered...). On the other hand, if you are looking for a highly revealing speaker on a constrained budget, get one of the GR Research speaker kits such ... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @designsfx , A lotta dudes legit shouldn’t/can’t hear a flippin difference in dacs because of deficiencies in designs/setups in spite of the "high end" they apparently bought (your comment appeared to indicate otherwise). | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Great list! Legit proof (needed by some out there) that all dacs are not created equal. I’m interested in knowing more about your comment above- “dacs are set up in a/b and even a/b/c configuration, easily switchable to allow comparison when nee... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? - Dude sells Wilson for 1k more than what he paid. - Dude buys Moab which goes head to toe against any Wilson, Schweikert, etc w.r.t sound quality at a fraction of the cost. Moab is butt ugly, but, so is any Wilson (ghastly, ugly creatures), i.e.... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Fact#1 A lot of modern equipment already teeters on the edge of sounding bright and edgy. Silver cables can just push it over the edge. Fact#2 Many dudes misconstrue an increase in brightness as an increase in perceived detail (facepalm). Saving... | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) @auroravengeance , you need a lot more meatheaded amplification than the A-S3200 to open those up. At 15k, they are hard to beat with the right electonics. Borressen, while magnificent, doesn't fit in his budget of 15k. | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) Assuming you have some higher end amplification, the Yamaha NS-5000 excels in all your mentioned criteria for listening and is priced right around 15k https://hifiheaven.net/shop/Yamaha-NS-5000PNST-3-Way-Bookshelf-Speakers-with-Stands?search=Ns-... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! Since all speakers at all price points have pros and cons (easily realized when one has an eclectic taste in music), it helps to own a few different types of speakers. That being said, Salon 2 is kickass. |
