| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @kokakolia , I, for one, won’t be buying anything from some guy tinkering with a piece in his garage (no-name Joe companies) with non-existent service in a couple of years. I would put it in the same category as Chifi though Chifi, at the least, i... | |
| Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , The emotional envelopment is effortless with my TAD+Luxman or Yamaha gear. It is a bit less with the Technics. But, i primarily bought the Technics as a hot summer solution (some compromise for mitigation of constant air conditioner... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @jaytor , thanks for clarifying. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Maybe i missed it, is it possible currently to revert to the original firmware if needed? ( I have been sitting on the fence w.r.t the Venus update.) | |
| Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , i heard it at hayward. I've owned a couple of the older Magicos. After a certain price point, many speaker brands converge to a threshold for resolution, detail, slam, visceral bass impact, imaging, etc, whatever...But, Magico has n... | |
| Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , what "performance" are you hoping to hear? Put it in words. On the same note, i have heard this speaker. Did i hear anything otherworldy that any ol' Scweikert, Borresen, etc didn't do? No. But, if you heard anything wild w.r.t "p... | |
| Magico's M9 @jim204 I certainly DO NOT wish i can afford this eye sore. I know they are selling diddly on this model in spite of all the ferocious marketing. Alon needs to admit he effed up making a speaker look like a overpriced giant whale phallus and move... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... 10 by 14, 12 by 11, etc...Magnepan is not for small room Bros. If you pull that panel 4 ft from the front wall, you will be seated flat up against the back wall (not good at all). Abandon all your Maggie desires and move on Brosnans. | |
| How tall do you like your images? For most any newer artist, the official studio master is a pristine sounding hires digital album. An orthodox medium loyalist/vinyl guy would botch/butcher that pristine sounding master and press it on vinyl so he can taste the analog. If, he's s... | |
| How tall do you like your images? @mikelavigne , My post was not aimed at dissing anyone’s gear. As you may have noted, i am dissing all my higher end stereo gear as well because i experience all the limitations of stereo gear in execution. When you deploy the BACCH, it is no long... | |
| How tall do you like your images? @mikelavigne , While I appreciate the research you did on some streamer/dac i had 3 years ago, my digital end has gotten upgraded just a bit since then. I still don't believe in spending an arm and a leg on a streamer/dac, but, whatever, we'll sav... | |
| How tall do you like your images? @mikelavigne , When you said 9.3.6, i already know you fooked up with cramming too many quantity over quality speakers in a li’l room ( i have a 30 by 35 room and i refuse to go any higher than 5.2.4 for atmos music listening that will startle all... | |
| How tall do you like your images? I dismiss all stereo speakers that don't sound like I have front heights, surrounds and back heights active. Many of you stereo purists crumble to dust and get washed down the gutter when the bar is set high (in spite of what you spent). 😉 (Yeah.... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @kokakolia Focal and Tannoy continue to be rehashed legacy designs. I had the KEF ref 1 bookshelves for about a year before I sold it. Clinical sound and i could never get emotionally involved with any tracks no matter what electronics I tried. I... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? The new coax design from Technics (SB-G90M2, ~5k/pair) sounds shockingly good for any speaker under the 10 to 15k price point. I recently got to audit it more seriously at my friend's house, who has it paired with ~40k in electronics. It would be ... |
