| Legacy Audio Focus SE to XD upgrade edonsmith, I got a chuckle out of your discovery, "Although you may THINK your big cabinet speakers are producing the bottom octave, they really aren't." Yup. Nearly all speakers regardless of size can benefit from subs that are complementary and... | |
| $3,000 Planar Speakers For years I looked for the blend of the Maggie and the Vandy 2. The Eminent Technology LFT-8B is the closest I found. Every bit as sensational performance to value as either of those two speakers, perhaps more. :) YMMV Disclosure: I reviewed the... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Another piece of information which might be useful; I have used some of the cabling for several years, before I went to the IOP setup for streaming audio. Prior to that I had a Mac Mini and used it wirelessly to do streaming. I also have used CD t... | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? send me a message | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... dgarrestson, what specifically is your concern about the validity of the findings? I think it significant that I listened to the aftermarket Ethernet cables placed only after the household wiring. Then, eventually I placed another segment of after... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under helomech, I did that very thing; moved from the 1B to the 2CE and it was in a compromised setting where there was an entertainment unit up close between the speakers and they sat about 1 foot from the wall. I put some sound absorption behind them.... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under helomech, the performance range of audio systems is FAR greater than many realize. Experience in the home is often the only thing that can change that perception. The change which caused your jaw to fail is a small part of a broad spectrum of per... | |
| NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session I'm sure they are quite lovely. | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Hard core hobbyists know that the term "musical" is code for mushy, indistinct and bloated. The term "accurate" is code for brittle, dry and clinical. What you really want is a speaker that is neither musical, nor accurate. ;) | |
| Speaker Cable Length Impact Cut one and compare the cut one to the whole one. ;) | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Statistically half of the rigs must be average to mediocre; the cable skeptics largely do the job of creating those systems. | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs Do not fail to upgrade speaker cables and power cords. | |
| I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! Triode makes some awesome gear; I have heard stunning systems with it at shows. It should theoretically be very good with the AZ speakers. Have you tried swapping out your loom of cables? If not, then do that before giving up. Also, power cords. F... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Imo you can never have too much definition; it's how it's managed that counts. Pedigree of speaker will not determine how lovely it sounds in your home, and the same is true of components and cables. Finding the proper match not only with quality ... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. I would think that this combination of gear, DAC/Amp/Speaker would have a very strong, detailed, but potentially bright sound. I'm not surprised that you are getting that result. I have no issue with Pass Labs; I have reviewed them and used them ... |
