| 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... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match So a server, who’s primary job it to provide "bit-perfect" data to a DAC... is going to fix a bright speaker? (more accurately, a speaker that the OP finds fatiguing, most commonly known as bright).Good news is that Covid should disappear any mome... | |
| Is Roon Nucleus the best choice for Roon Core and as server? Look into a Salk Streamer.Better Bang for the buck. | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? I have owned a XP12 and now a XP 22 pre-amp. I've owned many pre-amps over the years. I have to say the Xp12 was in the very good category. It's quiet, neutral etc. But, I think there are others in that price range that aren't better or worse,... | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? It's a GREAT amp, plus Pass is just an awesome company to deal with. The support is outstanding.While I have a 250.8 that I love, a friend has the 150.8 and we have the same speakers (Salk SS12's). The 150.8 does a great job of driving them also... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match Sounds like most Focal Speakers I have heard. So now you have a decision. Chase changes, modifications to your system to make them tolerable to you.Or sell them to someone who loves the Focal Sound (and nothing wrong with that) and go find some ... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? John is great and knows his speakers. I tend to think he sizes "one" down. BUT I like bass a bit (not crazy, but I do like it).Also, if you are in a basement, or on a concrete floor that can really change the bass response. I have speakers that... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Get a pair of used Ohm's. Save the cash, and Ohm's support is damn good.That is, if you can find a pair to your liking.I wouldn't mess around with the Maggies if you listen to any rock. They do what they do quite well. But that is just me. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I’ve owned spatial and Ohm. The spatial are good and fun, but I think the ohms offer a lot more for the money. Ohms are a great bang for buck speaker. | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? I would say they are in the "team photo". So yes, among the best. Great resale, sound, and support.Love my 250.8 and XP22. | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less Under 1k. Find a used Oppo Sonica. Measures well, has a big power supply, and uses top end chips. | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Lots.But you may want to call Jim Salk.You: " I want a nice looking speaker?"Jim: "Hold my beer." | |
| Volti Razz Loudspeakers How is the bass? I had the chance to hear the Rivals at a show once and liked them, but couldn't totally get after them. Liked what I heard though (had them play some Tom Petty). But I do like my bass to "thump" a bit, and it's so hard for a s... |
