| adding a DAC/Streamer or what With the rapid advancement i’ve seen/heard in DACs, diminishing returns will hit you like a brick wall on well made stand-alone DeltaSigma DACs beyond a 1000 bucks. This is not the year 2000 when it actually made sense to dump significant cash int... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @twoleftears , the Adante is "flawed"? I guess that’s why it won EISA’s product of the year award over speakers that cost magnitudes more. All the guys at EISA must be stupid too. Have you actually heard it with competent gear in a decent room dud... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @glupson, ah yes, the infamous "we"... the disgruntled glupson Jekyl and a glupson Hyde, the pair that keeps coming back... Alrighty then! Have a great time with your infinity speakers (galaxies above). My condolences on the stereophile review tha... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @fleschler , my comment never said the Moabs sound better than the Von Schweikerts. There's a reason i had the Schweikerts and they are designed by some very competent guys. But, you pay for it dearly. If you have a large treated space and did jus... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @glupson, what do you mean "By now, we know"? Do you mean both Jekyll and Hyde? I, personally, have never heard the Pioneer BS22 LR. But, i have seen them sold on either amazon or walmart.com at 80 bucks for the pair. It could be someone’s bar bil... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @douglas_schroeder , you’re wrong on all counts again Doug.I am the kinda guy who likes to add and reap the benefits of good subs to a 80k TAD or a Revel or a Wilson or other $$$$speakers out there that claim to be full range. I add subs to a 5k s... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @glupson, i can only imagine which genius designed your speaker! (Tee hee) | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @douglas_schroeder , i have owned the Wilson Watt Puppy, $$$$ Von Schweikerts, Revels, JBLs, TADs and maggies over the years.My physician shed his $$$$$ Wilsons for the Tekton Moab last year. I have heard it plenty of times at his place and got se... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @douglas_schroeder , I spent 45k on my TADs not too long ago and i’ve heard every kind of speaker in every price range. I know there is a speaker called the Tekton Moab which retails for 4.5k (1/10th the cost of my speakers) that beats the sht out... | |
| Sound Artist SC8b @b_limo , i have had a pair of these for a few months and they are very unique and fantastic sounding speakers. I really didn’t need anything and bought these out of sheer curiosity.They will do you good for electronic music. Throw some Shingo Nak... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought @wassaicwill, the JBL K2 S9900 is well above your budget (new or used) if you have a hardstop at 15k. But, if you can get your hands on a pair of their S4700s for under 15k, it should truly madly deeply rock your world. My younger sibling has th... | |
| Are systems genre dependent? mmhmm,,,and that is exactly why i have 3 different/different sounding systems (mix of speakers and electronics) at home. If you have an eclectic taste in music, there's no way around it.For the guys who like to listen to their "gear" with a limite... | |
| Rel vs the world @bjesien , Go with a manufacturer (no matter who it is) that offers more DOFs to tweak your system if your sub doesn’t just magically integrate. This is especially true if you have a high end 2 channel system and may not have all the additional fr... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Also consider the possibility that "upgraditis" could set in if you go with the 2 lower priced/lower performance subwoofers especially if the higher performance/priced sub was within your financial reach. In that case, it would be wiser to get a s... | |
| Rel vs the world @trentmemphis, Ah yes, the longstanding REL marketing magic of "seamless integration" like no other sub out there apparently! I guess the power of suggestion can work wonders too...Make some other guy who spent years with it look rude and silly (w... |
