| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker In the next two weeks my Stereo Times review on the new NSMT Loudspeakers reference System Two will be posted. I wanted to give a heads-up to the GON members because I consider the System Two, which is composed of the Clairvoyant Monitor and SUB-... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers @drbond , Rarely does a speaker manufacturer produce the caliber of subs produced by niche sub manufacturers. Even if they were able to, they wouldn't be able to get around patents from the likes of Rythmik. | |
| dac and streamer or seperates All the ’high end’ (apparently!) "streamers" are essentially SBC PCs. If you educate yourself on how to build a "audio optimized" PC, you will have all the freedom in the world wrt choice of hardware and software optimization. But, if you buy a ’h... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers Your next step, ie., after you understand the intricacies of subwoofers would be to move to the "fast sub" options GR Research - Sealed, open baffle, servo controlled Rythmik - Sealed, servo controlled These are the only subs (currently availab... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Removing biamp options is a doofus move by the likes of Wilson, Magico, etc. (My guess is that went on a route where their crossover designs are suboptimal for biamping). I don’t care for their speakers eitherway. Other high-end manufacturers (TAD... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? By its aggressive stance over everything, China is now proved to be an enemy of the rest of the world. Buying their hi-fi product will assist them in realising the aggression. We should have learned the lesson with Russia. @clearthinker , you c... | |

| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. There is no such thing as a perfect speaker at ANY price bracket. When you have a few different speaker designs and realize their pros and cons, you would get a feel for 'perfection' constrained by the limitations of an engineering design space (... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? If you are very budget constrained, Schiit Modi MULTIBIT = 300 dollars (unbelievable value). Above that (for perceptible gains).... Denafrips Ares = 800ish bucks Gustard R26 = 1750ish bucks Denafrips Venus and so on... If your employer gave y... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? I've heard plenty of high efficiency speakers: Klipsch Forte, Heresy IV, La Scalla, etc., JBL L82, Zu, and others, and all the ones I've heard, trade off their efficiency for (IMO) less than optimum timbral accuracy, lack of a focused and layere... | |
| Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP??? @mlsstl , One should only spend as much on cables for max detail retrieval/preservation. Unfortunately, many dumb dudes spend on cables for tonal changes. Well...if every forum dude had enough noodle in his noggin to secure a engineering PhD, it w... | |
| Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP??? Get a Schiit Loki max analog eq. You can make all kinds of 'synergy' happen between different amps, speakers and so on!! https://www.schiit.com/products/loki-max | |
| Moving up???? Why not just buy a Danny Ritchie speaker? If a guy’s budget is restricted to 1k - 4k, he should do himself a favor and buy a Danny Ritchie or Andrew Jones speaker (forget about all the other crap out there in that price bracket). I have a speaker... | |
| KEF R3 Meta's - too much for my Marantz Model 30? Model 30 is class D hypex crap. Sell it to some hypex crap D lover (found in abundance at the ASR forum, for example) and get a couple of the Schiit Tyr Monoblocks. The Tyr monos will keep that KEF disciplined and ready to please. https://www.sch... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Again: The idea that a speaker is the best for a certain genre of music is one of the biggest myths in audio. Is ’classic’ rock from the 50s, 60s, or 70s? Or, if one is a bit younger, does that mean 80s and some 90s? I actually had someone ask ... |
