| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Flea watt amps are anything but dumb. Low watt amps and high efficiency speakers are about transient speed. Huh?? @danager , what transient speed did you obtain with a flea watt amp paired with the high efficiency speaker that a meatheaded amp ... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. Pretty safe bet Mikey is sweet as apple pie when you put your hard earned dollars in his pocket, thus becoming a full fledged member of the Tribe. Pretty sure he also tells guys to go out and buy something else he doesn't carry, if he thinks it... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. When dealing with you as an individual I and others have found him very respectful, not putting down your equipment, taste or budget. He seems as much or more interested you being moved by the music and establishing a long term audiophile friends... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? Expensive active speakers are a hard sell outside of the studio. At home I already own amps, I don’t want to buy another packaged with a speaker. In a studio where space and time are limited a package makes a lot more sense. Depending on the de... | |
| Anyone Running Pro Speakers in your "High-End" System? Stay away from the dinky lil studio monitors and barrel bottom touring type of crap PA speakers with plastic cabinets. This is what audiophiles tend to sneer at/associate with bad PA sound. After you hit the 5k and above price bracket on PA speak... | |
| Cerwin Vega owner - If the dac in a MacBook and Cerwin Vega made you happy, that’s all there is to it (enjoy the music). - if curiosity got the better of you, get on Facebook, find a audiophile group local to your area and invite yourself to a few guys’ houses. Au... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? The very good high efficiency speakers also require a serious amp, they can still be difficult loads. Flea watt amps are dumb for any kind of speaker, high efficiency or not. Nothing about the flea watt amp guarantees that it is the best design fo... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I try to always think as an engineer first and audiophile second. Despite all the technical advantage listed on Borresen website, I don’t think it will justify pricing the price of half a million dollar, unless if you price it for EXCLUSIVITY. ... | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List Higher efficiency speakers to optimize my current tube amps (QS Mono 60s) and to lead me toward lower powered tube amps. Heaven help me -- I've got the bug. The bug gets fierce when you're looking at Agon classifieds. You buy things you never r... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system Schiit multibit dacs (modi multibit, bifrost, etc) made in the USofA sound better than the Asian chip dacs though the latter tend to measure better. Their real competition are the Asian R2R dacs (Denafrips, Gustard, etc). | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? Steve made the nice review , i think he is most knowledgeable audio expert who can not only made qualified video , also is very helpful Wow! | |
| Dual purpose amp I don’t understand why you’d want to connect an AVR to an amplifier. What are you trying to do? Some people don’t know the difference between an AVR and an AVP, some just use the terms invariably, like I use to 😀 @cleeds He would connect a... | |
| Experience with adding super tweeter? When I started a thread on this topic, I got posts telling me that it is not possible for me to hear high frequencies and it's just impossible for the supertweeter to make a sonic difference. Ignore the naysayers if they chime in. There are man... | |
| recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim) PRAT is heavily influenced by speakers, dacs, the recording themselves, etc. Perceptively, I'm not sure how anyone's able to boil it down to an amp in a listening test. On the same note, the Yamaha A-S3200 is a great amp, going back 15 yeas now a... | |
| Advice wanted for small factor office speakers Drop the Pyle barrel bottom crap and go with Yamaha's multizone eco system. Even non-audiophiles have ears....they can quickly tell the difference between a "Pyle" of junk and good ol' Yamaha. |
