Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.
15 x 21 isn't tiny by any means.  Plus, you have those 611's on tap.I think unless it's absurd, the whole "too big for the room" thing is overblown.  Heck, if it's a room in the basement, or carpet and padding over a concrete foundation (like many... 
Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.
I recently purchased a c2700 and mc462.  It wasn’t my original plan, but I am thrilled with the combo so far.  It’s not the old McIntosh sound for sure,  Its detailed and yet still smooth and not harsh.  Really really good.I am a fan of both legac... 
New McIntosh DA2 DAC
I have had the C2700 with the DA2 Dac for a week now. My previous DAC was the Oppo Sonica, which uses the ESS chipset also. My understanding is the DA2 uses the 9028pro, and the Oppo had the 9038. Which I imagine are close. Implementations are dif...

Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated
I would also like to learn more about this integrated, hoping for more reviews, particularly with comparisons to other equipment.  A lot makes sense regarding the technology, and for someone like me that streams only for audio, and wants a HT bypa... 
Choosing new speakers after 20 years
Salk song 3 encore 
What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way?
In a good way? Well, that is up to the listener. But if one likes Pass with a particular speaker, it would be difficult to go the opposite way and call it "in a good way" I suspect.But opposite of Pass? (which I consider just on the warm side of n... 
Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k
@jmarshak Agree, if I didn't own Pass.  BAT would be high on my list.  My biggest problem with the OP and the Pass comments are that I just don't see any reputable dealer saying "that's just how the XLR plugs are on Pass".Just using any basic logi... 
Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k
I’m calling bullcrap on the Pass issues. Or, that dealer blows, or if that gear was shipped... it was dropped from a decent height.People may not like Pass gear, and that is up to their ears. But Pass is nothing but responsive and top notch on QC ... 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
In my home:Focal (demo), Klipsch Palladium (owned), B+W Diamond Series (demo)In someone else's home:Tekton with the Be upgrade, Wilson with the Focal tweeters (no shocker, however I DO like the Wilsons with the new Soft Dome tweeter)Demoed in mult... 
SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs
@jaymark That looks like a very compelling piece. I hope you will report back.I really hope someone picks up a Director MK2 and reports back regarding the DAC. 
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers
@vinylvalet Interesting on the ATC's.  That is still a fairly substantial speaker.  I liked the 50's at a show, but would likely want a little more low end punch... thinking the 100's would do it.But those ATC actives are so fast and tight, I have... 
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers
@vinylvalet Those are pretty nice speakers.  Actually curious as to why you are selling them.  If I didn't have my Salks, I would be taking a hard look at those.  Truthfully, a fully active speaker makes a lot of sense to me.  (I know those have a... 
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers
Since you have the subs, and don't mind using them for 2 channel it opens up a host of options.But, I too listen loud and like blues rock.I have Salk SS12's, but those are not available anymore.  If you could score some SS8's, 10's, or 12's used.....
