| Poor man's Rockport Atrias? IMO, Soix has given not so terrific advice. For every miracle speaker there is another which is as good, or perhaps even better at a much lower price. Feel free, go ahead and spend the $20K if you wish. But in no way does it assure you have done t... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston My time is running away on me; this will be my last post to this discussion. Bob, we've both been making assumptions, thanks for correcting the perception regarding large floor standing speakers. Now, correcting your misperception; I do not ignore... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Kiddman, you are right; I assumed you were piggy backing on bob's thoughts. Thanks for the correction. | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Bob, no, I did not overlook that point; it simply does not make your argument true, imo. You think a bookshelf with bass management is going to assure superior performance, and I disagree. Why do you assume that large floor standing speakers requi... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston I will politely disagree with Bob and Kiddman; I would not recommend a bookshelf and sub system, with or without bass management) as an assured advantage over (sota or not) a floor standing speaker, even a fully passive one. When I am seeking a se... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Bob, I think it's obvious that one will have three drivers in operation with a two-way speaker and sub. The point I was making is that it is simplitsic to conclude that one will get a similar result by using a two way with a sub versus a floor sta... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Earl, I beg to differ; The only time when a two way with a sub is a three way is when all the speakers come from the same company - and even then it's not the same, as I showed in my review of the Wharfdale Opus speaker line for Dagogo.com. Aside ... | |
| Next upgrade on Usher & Primaluna rig?? I have heard Prima Luna and Usher gear sound excellent in more than one rig, so you may want to work with them for a while. Yes, focus on cabling; power cords, digital link, interconnects and speaker cables - all can be very rewarding if you take ... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... I am a very experienced audiophile of many years, so I will share what I am TRULY looking for in a speaker...I'm TRULY looking for a speaker which is 8"x10"x2", weighs about six pounds, and has a sound like a 600 pound 6' floor stander. I'm TRULY ... | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system Good to meeet you, thank you for serving our country, and wow, it must be a letdown to drive a wheeled vehicle after driving a supercarrier! You seem like an ardent fan of both the gear and the experience; I strongly suggest you attend a regional ... | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? Pick either one, you lose. | |
| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation Ozzy, that's great; you have taken half the step toward demonstrating the Pass preamp to be preferable to the pre function of the DSPeaker. How about trying this combo: DSPeaker acting as preamp to the Bryston BDA-2 DAC (bypassing the SDPeaker's D... | |
| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation A necessary device is one without which there is no music. Products like QOL, or in this application the AntiMode 2.0, are not necessary. They may be perceieved as enhancing the system's sound, but their removal does not halt it. Now, if the AntiM... | |
| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation Ozzy, I'll look forward to an update if/when you do. Couldn't you also try the QOL after the AntiMode 2.0 and if you wish send it (or not) to the subs? Seems to me you have five or six discrete possibilities for arrangement of the components singl... | |
| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation Rocsoeiii, yes, I have heard the Dual Core DSP unit and found it both intriguing and good sounding. I would consider the Dual Core as potentially highly efficacious because it has preamp funcitionality and as such would allow the removal of a trad... |
