| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs The 2kish/presence band dip and boosted top end of the Focal will give you the perception of recessed mids. You will find it very hard to compensate with purist amps. If your amp has tone controls, turn down the treble knob to try and get the mids... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange Sonically, Borresen speakers are true high end (Magico killers, Wilson killers, etc) and happen to be 2.5-way.... (nullify phase shift --> bass driver/midrange driver). | |
| Speaker Efficiency I have been listening to my Decware 300b tube amp for a few months now. At 8 watts, I have them paired with Klipsch Forte IV at 99db efficiency, and this set up has been sounding great. This morning I connected a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amato... | |
| New Speaker, Wilson MAXX 3, Alexandria series 1, Alexia series 1, YG sonja models @krammas As a matter of basic principle and at minimum, especially at this price bracket, you could buy speakers from manufacturers who actually have the core aptitude to build their own drivers from scratch, Borresen, TAD, Focal, etc.... Some ... | |
| "I'm a believer" All engineers don’t have the same IQ/aptitude level...( In some cases, Daddy might have paid for the engineering degree and got him in the engineering frat). You can dump all kinds of cash on a dumaZ engineer and he ain’t getting anywhere with it... | |
| BW 801 D4 or BW 802 D4 + 2 subs @gfguimaraes Both the 801 and the 802 will benefit immensely from subs. You are not just getting a speaker, you need to marry it to a room. The optimal location for imaging and so on is usually never where a sub bass driver oughta be. So, any sp... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! But if money were no object, I would definitely get into a pair of Børresen 01 Silver Supreme Edition. The most amazing sounding speaker I have ever heard at AXPONA. But I don't have $60k for a stand mount speaker. @ucrazykid , The Borresen X3... | |
| Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA Wow....Audioquest is a bad brand now, eh?? (too generic?? doesn’t fit into the audiopheel snob show anymore?)... Anyways, Viablue is a brand from Germany (stuff is hand made in Germany) that makes very good quality cables. I ran into their stuff ... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @jmfawdofile , Get a Esoteric N-03T (It has all the trickle down from their stuff that used to cost more).... Later on (as you get richer), try the Grimm Audio MU1.... Or (since you seem like nice guy! 😁).............. just ditch all this crap a... | |
| New DAC with streamer @verdantaudio I also got to compare the Bricasti to my TAD D-1000, but, it is not essentially an apples-apples comparison as the TAD is also a top notch SACD player (price is justified). On the same note, I also audited the Playback Designs DAC t... | |
| New DAC with streamer full disclosure. I am a dealer for all three brands @verdantaudio So, I heard the Bricasti not too long ago and noted that it didn't sound any better than my Denafrips Venus or the Yggdrasil. I opened it and noted that the build quality wasn... | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products Accuphase is a company that should go manufacturer direct for the sake of its customers (get rid of the vulture they have in the US for a dealer). | |
| Audiophiles, Music, and Equipment: Can We Be Both "Conservative" AND "Progressive"? A little disclosure here: I am part of a number of "unite" and "depolarization" groups -- including my own. (I deal with a group I refer to as the "UFBPs" - the Unapologetic Fire-Breathing Partisans on a daily basis. Yes, on BOTH sides). My "gig... | |
| Audiophiles, Music, and Equipment: Can We Be Both "Conservative" AND "Progressive"? Ahem, in the context of audiophilia indeed... Conservative: A flat earther who says "What i do not know may not exist!!". It is a very pompous arrogant position that a scientist or a higher level engineer (masters of phd and significant field exp... | |
| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot @deep_333 That all may or may not be true, but the way you addressed him made you sound like a thug. @roxy54 , No...read it again, you invented it all in your head...But, that sly passive aggressive forum tactic of yours wanting to call me a "... |
