| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers I have never really cared for ported speaker bass, but love the bass from my PMC's. Remarkable given the driver and cabinet size. One guy's opinion. | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? PSAudio S300. Light and surprisingly good for the money. I got a 1 yr old one from The Music Room to be a backup to my ARC Classic 60. Different strengths but really nice change of pace. PS Audio often has factory reconditioned ones as they take t... | |

| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers I haven't heard the Tannoys I took long but I have listened to Fyne SP series and you'd be nuts to dismiss them. I greatly prefer their design/build (actually made in Scotland) and building on the Tannoy evolution. Their engineers didn't jump ship... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? I'm a huge Rockpile fan. Saw them live in Maryland late 70's with Blondie. Have seen Nick and Dave a number of times since. Terry Williams is a phenomenal drummer. | |
| New split AC System impact on sound. I recently had a 2 ton Bosch heat pump/propane furnace combo installed and it is much better at removing humidity over the previous furnace/ac combo. Quite superior for humidity. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Fyne speakers are 8 ohms and efficient so should work great with your amp. They are designed by engineers who left Tannoy. Their SP models are very nice. | |
| Upgrade or Downgrade Changing Bel Canto 3.7 For New Denafrips Pontus 15th? Why not a PS Audio Direct stream Mk I. They're selling reconditioned ones for $1600. | |
| SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I agree that hearing aids should be your first upgrade. A nice tube preamp might be next step. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. Thiels work best straight ahead and ,so far, my PMC's seem to work best that way too. Jim Thiel recommended straight ahead and the PMC's also have wide dispersion. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Check out PMC's. Small form factor and with their transmission line cabinets, you won't need a subwoofer. Also, 8 ohms and easy to drive. | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I live west of Boston and I attend shows at Bull Run in Shirley fairly regularly. Fantastic acts, no seat is bad, good food and drink and wonderful, friendly, musically knowledgeable clientele. I don't do large venues but will hit.some mid-size on... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? A PS Audio Airlens and DirectStream DAC Mk 1. I finally started streaming and this combo sounds great and made it easy. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? PS Audio AirLens? | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? The refurbished PS Audio Direct stream MkI for $1599 is a screaming deal. I got one via TMR and also an Airlens. Very happy with the combo. |
