| Perlisten S5t So let me get this straight: you acquired them, as in bought, but did not know they were made in China? Then after you had them in your home for a while, you learned they were made in China, so you returned them because you wanted USA. Then you g... | |
| 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!), ... | |

| 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-... |
