| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I'll wait to see what is recommended in 2025. | |
| A separate dac and preamp or a good dac with pream Cusco69, I can relate to the audiophile on the budget, for I was one for a long time. Shoot me a message here and we'll talk. | |
| A separate dac and preamp or a good dac with pream "dloubt there would be anything new for the next 5 to 10 years" Oh, boy; I think you'll be shown wrong on that one. ;) The pace of change is accelerating, not decelerating. I would venture we may have more than one technology/application for audio... | |
| Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound? Is there a perceived shortcoming in the speakers' performance, or are your tastes changing? I find that as I mature as an audiophile my experience and expectations greatly elevate, and consequently the gear which used to satisfy no longer does. Th... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no I have had beautiful results either way, with or without a preamp. However, lately the DACs are becoming SO good that putting a preamp in the chain is putting something in the road that doesn't need to be there. I am a strong advocate of shorter s... | |
| Which model Tannoy for my audio room If I listened to everyone who told me, "That speaker is too big for your room," I would have had a much more impoverished audiophile experience. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio When it circles around to money, the issue is not sound. :( | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Audio is a funny hobby; I'm having the exact opposite experience currently. I'm testing out some Pascal based Class D amps, and the resolution, tonal richness, "air" and reverberation, in short, the entire package so much more corporeal - is so in... | |
| New garage speaker placement? For this system you need 7.2 surround; nothing else will suffice! ;) You may want to reconsider in-wall placement of speakers in the event that you will reconfigure the shop/work area. If you ever move things around within the space, you may want ... | |
| Help - new house - new setup? Zd you're right; I was thinking he was using two stereo amps. Tough to biamp with a pair of monos! | |
| Help - new house - new setup? Having reviewed and owned the VR4SR MkII for a while, I suggest that you move to a more sizable speaker, one which is physically larger and with more prodigious bass drivers. You will only get so much presence from the VR4Jr - this is not a sleigh... | |
| Request for assistance please room treatment When you have put that much effort into room treatments and are holistically unsatisfied, I suggest the solution is not more of the same, but rather to upgrade components. | |
| Legacy LS10 speakers? It's possible they were an older, one-off design, but they don't look to me like a Legacy Audio product. Could be wrong...I concur with Zephyr, and you would find the people at Legacy happy to help answer your question. My primary hesitancy is tha... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers I had the opportunity to place components outside of my room, or in a closet in the room, or to put them alongside the wall. I chose to place them right in the middle. The primary reason is the atrocious loss/degradation that occurs with longer ca... | |
| does 32 bit make a difference over 24 bit? Philipwu, one set of speakers I used was the Chapman T-77, but over time I also used the Kingsound King electrostatics. One of the Pathos Classic One MkIII integrated amps is not enough to drive the big electrostatic speakers well, but two units i... |
