| most beautiful (looking) speakers The most beautiful speakers? Among the ones I've seen, Sonus Faber. By far. | |
| Dynaudio customer service ignoring me @craig : Thank you for trying to help me. I don't want to derail this thread so I won't go into details, but the reassurance I was looking for (about future availability of parts) couldn't have come from anywhere else but the producer. I am E.U. b... | |
| Dynaudio customer service ignoring me I wrote Sonus Faber inquiring about the availability of some parts, now and in the future (as their policy) and was referred to the local dealer. I did this because I was contemplating a 15000 euro purchase and I needed some reassurance. I was ver... | |
| Speakers for string Quartets It's funny because I do have an answer... sort of. First of all, it goes without saying that the other components beside speakers are of paramount importance too. I haven't been exposed to lots and lots of audio gear, but of those I've heard the b... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? +1 Spendors (Classic series) | |
| DDC like Aurender UC-100C tonally but with better detail? So no one heard the Aurender? It's basically absent from the audio forums, I wonder why since the Aurender streamers are quite popular... Ok, scratch that, what other DCC could offer me the above-mentioned traits of "fullness to the sound, especia... | |
| Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X @denon1 : I see you are not excited by the DP 560 / 570. The 560 is "nothing special" compared to what? What is it more exactly that you didn't like about these models (maybe also what you liked, if anything)? I'm asking because I have a DP 550 th... | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? Qobuz has both high rez. and CD rez. files and I can distinguish the higher resolution ones as richer and more 3D sounding, smoother and more colorful. I find the difference significant, by far less important as the actual mastering. On the other... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Quoting myself from a few other threads: Between my SP2/3R2 and my Harbeth M30.2 (now sold) I prefer the former. Warmer, more exuberant, joyful or friendly I would say, with better lit mids, nice highs, bigger sound and in most cases I prefer ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide curious how do you find the bass once the speakers are broken in, please share your impressions | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide The Sonus Faber’s I’ve heard were driven by Accuphase amps, for what it’s worth. Pricey, I know... It depends a lot not only on the budget and synergy, but also on your priorities in terms of sound. For example, I value tone and timbre very highly... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Please report your impressions on the V's after you get them (and after the burn in). I don't know about the newer Amati speakers, but I can tell you there is a huge difference in scale between the Amati Futura and the Nova II. Nova V might be a ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide I've heard both the Amati Futura and the Olympica Nova 2. The former was the most astonishing audio experience I've had, beyond marvelous, but the electronics were a lot of money too (like 35000 - 40000 Euro retail in total). I mean no offense, bu... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review I have a pair of Martin Logan 11A. I might be in a minority here but I didn't like what the ARC room correction did to the dynamics or overall tonal balance: bass became much too rounded, with an almost nonexistant leading edge or tactility and ge... | |
| Martin Logan Expression 13 - setup question I also have a pair of Impression 11A's in a 12/14 feet room connected to another small 12 / 3 feet space. The speakers are placed on the long wall and the back driver is about 20 cm (8 inches) away from wall. Absorption on this wall is crucial, no... |
