| Impressions of Pacific Audio Fest 2024 Thanks for the impressions! Unfortunately I caught some kind of bug at the last minute, and wasn't able to attend this year after being there in '22 & '23. My multi-day pass went to waste. Now hearing that PAF won't be back until 2026, I mig... | |
| Looking to downsize and for suggestions for amp(s) tkrtrb125, You are correct. I think I refer to it that way because I think of class H or G as a form of class AB. It's also called a class AB in a number of published reviews, including Stereophile's. My mistake. | |
| Looking to downsize and for suggestions for amp(s) Not for everyone, but Benchmark ABH2 are certainly small and light for class AB amps. | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers Kind of like @emergingsoul, I can only compare one speaker to another. So I find it best to rule out as many variables as I can.

| What would you do? So what I was getting at was that going for deeper, reinforced bass by adding a subwoofer is a completely different matter than improving the performance across the audible frequency spectrum.I doubt the DAC in either the NAD CD player, or the Par... | |
| What would you do? If you tell me whether you would prefer improved resolution, or more bass extension, I will tell you the correct answer. | |
| Personal speaker evolution 1971 - Sansui SP3500 or something. I clearly remember they were 4-way, 7 driver, with woofer size of 15". This was when I used to judge speakers by the driver count. They had nice cabinets with the lattice wood grills.1973 - AR 3AX. Blew the tweet... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? My choice at your (our) price point was the Revel F208. The F308 was shelved as far as I know. The look of Revel's new Performa3 line has done a lot to fix the WAF problem of some previous Revel models. If you like Revel's sound generally, the F20... |
