SPL (Sound Performance Lab) - Professional Fidelity series? Their stuff certainly looks intriguing. Their monoblocks use a ton of small capacitors and a rather large transformer. After reading Teajay's review I also tried to find more reviews. As roysq mentioned they are mainly european (but glowing).Th... | |
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" I have some real interest in the SPL stuff. I find Teajay likes a lot of the same things I do in equipment. Had a nice conversation last week about it in fact. I also appreciate that Stereo Times looks for some items off the beaten path. | |
RME ADI-2 direct to amp I have my RME ADI FS Pro-2 plugged into my amp directly as I just purchased one from Sweetwater to try. Bought the pro to use the analog as a HT bypass. No issues feeding the amp directly (pass 250.8) | |
Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) I had a pair of Dynaudio Contour 60's. Like you, I had a very good deal on them. Based on demo's of other dynaudio products, slightly lower priced I figured I would love them (as they had to be even better...since they cost more). I didn't love... | |

Ohm Speakers Model B I just don't see John not being fair about this. It took me several e-mails recently to reach them, as they are really dealing with Covid effects. I would try to be patient and try calling. At a minimum I don't see them taking money and not ref... | |
Tekton vs. Salk Sound? @mapman Agree. I think John is one of the better guys in the business, honest and they have good support. Jim Salk is the same (and I am sure there are others).Both are very honest about their speakers etc. | |
Tekton vs. Salk Sound? Tekton - what I think of Tekton is a modern day Klipsch in many ways, though with poorer customer service even though it’s a smaller company.Tekton’s so some things pretty well, they play loud, relatively cleanly. They are relatively dynamic, and ... | |
Ohm walsh or focal domes Ohm's. No brainer for me (but I do not like Focal anything... so there's that).But the OHM's will do a nice job, huge sweet spot and seamless top to bottom. Sub/Sat's - you miss so much of the midrange. | |
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Salk | |
ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore I've listened to both extensively, and I've had the Song 3 Encores in my room. (a friends pair).I also really like both ATC and Salk Speakers. I've not owned ATC's, though I would consider them.I've owned Salk SS8's, and now own Salk SS12's.Both ... | |
What's up with TMR Audio? Good experiences with them both buying and selling. | |
Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great This is why I have simply gone back to using speakers that are full range. No matter what, mulitple subs, software etc... it's always off just a bit for me. No substitute for displacement. That said, I realize many are space or spouse challenge... | |
Pass Labs Power amps choices mitchb - Do I like the 250.8 better than the 250.5. Yes, absolutely. (own the 250.8, have heard the 250.5 in the same system)Is it 10k CAD plus your 250.5 better? - Likely not. What else would you do with the 10k?Do you have your "end game speaker... | |
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years 250.8 and XP22.Demo'd a 250.5 for a short while, though not with a pass pre-amp.Had the XP12 and 250.8 for a good 2.5 years, but then upgraded to the XP22. XP12 and 250.8 were very good, the XP22 took things to great, and there was a pretty clear... |
