| Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender I find the Rose 130 to be a remarkable piece of kit. And this is spite of having my 1st one refusing to 'boot' after 2 weeks of ownership. So, a bad beginning. I learned something about dedicated streamers. You see, I have 2 systems, which is nut... | |
| Legacy Wavelet as Preamp/DAC/DSP vs just DSP I ordered the Aeris along with the Wavelet a few weeks ago. My greatest concern over the purchase of these speakers is the compromise I may have to deal with my DAC. My integrated does not have any preouts. My DAC, as I understand, will have to ... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Thanks for all the great suggestions and comments as well. It seems the Harbeths inspire a lot of conversation and rightly so. Maybe no speaker can perform at the highest level with every genre. Our long gone line arrays came the closest. When ... | |
| Legacy XD series for tube amplifier thoughts Thanks for your insight. I cannot use subs. My integrated has no pre-outs. That's why the Legacy product is on my radar. I wish for a truly full-range speaker that is transparent and can perform with a variety of music. It would be nice if the q... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Since my wife doesn't like my speakers but we both love of tube gear, we're keeping our tube gear and now looking for efficient 'enough' speakers. I mean, my amp has 150wpc in pentode mode so what might be the problem? Woofers. But there are effic... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? Maybe different for me. It's funny, now that I had a home built with a dedicated 2 channel room, it doesn't get much love. And here's the problem. I'm retired but my wife works a lot of hours, so there's little time for her to sit and enjoy the f... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? If someone would have touched my Joule Electra VZN100's, I wouldn't have to say anything. Of course they wouldn't have been able to hear me against the own screaming. Had to eventually sell them as I was worried my little guy might seriously hur... | |
| Legacy XD series for tube amplifier thoughts I have. Seem like very nice speakers. Terry London of Stereo times bought a pair FWIW. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? ozzy62. The Spatial's X3's do not need subs. I did feel like they could be improved with a more powerful plate amp, however, and a few X3 owners have done that. I cannot use separate subs in my system due to the lack of pre-outs (although I'm chea... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? We're not selling our Allnic gear. Not an option. Our Buchardts are a 4ohm 88db efficient speaker. The Allnics 60wpc in triode drives them without complaint. The 150wpc in pentode drives mode them louder still. The Alta Audio Alec's are 93db ef... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Regarding the X3's, I shouldn't be running subs according to the manufacturer of my integrated. I currently use RCA's spades at one end and resistors on the other inside the RCA jacks. I do not have preouts on my integrated. But I'm told that's a... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? The X3's have built-in 15" powered subwoofers. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Some nice suggestions. Thank you all. First, I'm not flush with cash. The Harbeths are $13.6K. But they won't work in my room. My audio buddy told me the Vandersteen Quatro's CT's sounded lifeless and dull. I for one think he just had one of tho... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? I may give those Vandersteen Quatro CT's a try. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? I'm playing the Buchardt's with 2 subs. They're my 'upstairs' speakers that found there way downstairs. They sound great in my 'main' system but ultimately, they are too small for the room and I don't wish to use subs unless for the very bottom of... |
