| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I'm running two JL Audio F110s with auto room optimization, which is the main reason I say sub setup is very easy. The JLs are active and non-ported so they work pretty much anywhere I put them. The ARO adjusts for room modes. I also run a JL Audi... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover I recently picked up a CR-1 to pair with two JL F110s along with my Magico Mini IIs. I think it’s a great unit and an essential part of any hi fi stereo setup, even if you’re running full range speakers. I personally think every system needs subwo... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? @whipsaw please post your thoughts after your audition. These reviews seem to confirm my impressions. I'm curious to see if you have a similar opinion of them. | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and I recently demoed a pair of Fink Team KIMs. I highly recommend you see if you can demo them as well. They use an AMT tweeter that creates an incredibly atmospheric soundstage. The KIMs completely disappeared into the background. They have low impe... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? @jond I liked them a lot. Ample air and space in the soundstage and excellent separation from the speakers. Atmospheric is how I would describe them. They were powered by an Aavik i580 class D integrated amp. Source was a Linn Klimax streamer. The... | |
| Anyone know if JL Audio Fathom series v1 and v2 will pair? @ozzy thanks. I have a v2 F110 that I’m going to try to integrate with the v1 I already have. I’ll try the master/slave just to see how it works but I’ll also try to eq them separately if that doesn’t work out. I’m curious what happened when and i... | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? I think it depends on the material you're listening to. There are some recordings that have historic significance because of the lineup, the style of jazz, the performance of a particular player or the interplay between band members. Several Miles... | |
| Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz While it's not a bad idea to see an audiologist, there's a good chance they'll simply confirm your condition and say learn to live with it. I've been to two and it only served to pinpoint the frequency of the hearing damage. And it was kind of coo... | |
| New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this? What community forum doesn't have its share of nonsense, hostility, ignorance, conceit, naivete and conversely insight, empathy, experience and humor? Seriously, name one. | |
| Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz I also have tinnitus for over 30 years. A few things. Do you use an SPL gauge when you listen to music? You can download a free one in an app store. When I first used one, I was surprised at how loud my normal listening level was. I have a pair of... | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? I'm on the East Coast and bought my Musical Fidelity amp from Hi Fi Heaven over the phone. Very helpful salesperson and superb customer service. I always advocate supporting independent shops. Life would be less delightful without them. | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk @nhb1, since you're near Boston, I highly recommend Goodwin's in Waltham. They have a huge selection and several listening rooms with several different ranges of equipment and very knowledgeable and friendly salespeople. Not pushy in the slightest... | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? @bluemoodriver, the DBT you posted is hysterical. Between the "high-end system" and 5 dudes in the sweet spot, you're really making quite the case. I can't believe they weren't able to tell the difference! LOL | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? I have a Musical Fidelity M6PRX driving a pair of Magico Mini IIs using a primarily digital front end (Mytek Brooklyn+ DAC, Lumin U2 Mini network player). Previously, I was using a Peachtree Nova. The MF provides more detailed transients and a mor... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend @jmphotography this is a beautiful rack and exactly what I've had in mind for my own system. Can you tell me how high the rack is and how much space there is between each shelf? excellent work! |
