| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... Well, if you a) have deeper pockets and b) you're sure that you won’t have to start alimony payments anytime soon (i.e., don’t have such worries).... keep the "what if" question perpetually open and keep buying all kinds of things. | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @rsf507 @deep_333 when I heard the the Sopra 1s (and Kanta 2s) at the hifi store on a MacIntosh 12000, I did not detect recessed mids at all. In fact, I feel in love with the sound! The MacIntosh 12000 has a EQ, is that why? @dman777 , Here's ... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs Ah, the dealers/pied pipers/V curve ferals, etc have started to arrive for damage control and stating that the OP’s experience is illegitimate. These dudes will soon claim "It’s not the speaker, it is you!!" On a half moon night for exactly 14 mi... | |
| Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend The list is long and the budget and used vs. new and cultural preferences (British/American/Scandinavian/etc) would narrow it down significantly @grislybutter , "Cultural preferences" on a box, crossover and driver....Hmmm, can you elaborate a ... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @dman777 , You are not going to get away from that Focal house sound you experienced on the Sopras (which you didn’t like) with the Kantas either. But, if the Kanta, 11k/pair is in your budget, you should take a serious look at the Wharfedale Elys... | |
| Tune of the Day My younger daughter introduced me to this Norwegian poppish stuff... been drinkin/dancin to this sht on repeat all night...😁 Audiophili dudes, get the 24bit studio master lest your system didn't sound its best!! (Oooooo)....Happy thanksgivin y'al... | |
| 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... |
