| Hyperion 938 question You're room size is slightly bigger than mine and the YBA should have no problem driving the 938s to ear bleeding levels. I love the YBAs, one of the finest SS amps IMO, but too expensive for me. Actually, your room may be slightly overdamped, but... | |
| Help me choose new digital player Try the Bladelius Freja. Plays CD, SACD and DVDA. Wisely the DVD playback was left out. You don't need a monitor to set up DVDA playback. Designed correctly - has two BB DACs for CD playback and another separate two BB DACs for native DSD recordin... | |
| Hyperion 938 question Heck, I'm running my 938s with 25 watt Yamaha all-inp-one tuner, integrated, CDP with satisfying levels - very loud to these ears. You just won't get thunderous bass response. What 55 watt SS integrated are you using? YBA? It was help us if you le... | |
| Eastsound E5 Dan, you're right. I got Eastsound and Eastern Electric confused. Do you hear a difference between the XLR and RCA output?B18, yes I did check out the headfi site, and all seem to love the sound. I was worried about possibly running into transport... | |
| Sound of the Dali Speakers Euphonia Line? Help I heard the Euphonia MS5 couple of years ago for about 4 hours total on two separate occasions at the same dealer because I was considering purchasing the then $10K speakers. I found the midrange to be smooth with nice well balanced base. The high... | |
| Suggestions for a transport for the dAck 2.0 DAC? First of all, has your Ack! DAC been broken in (~300 hrs or 400-500 hrs with the high res cap). I have owned the previous iteration of the Ack, and loss of high freq extension is inherent in its design. Although the 2.0 is suppose to fix from of p... | |
| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers Beheme,As some of the above post indicate, the biggest problem is your room size and the not speakers. My room is slightly bigger than yours 12 x 15 feet. I have the Hyperion 938s that may be the answer to what you're looking for, but it took some... | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? Kmiller5, IMHO if you're using your speaker for 90% home theater, most planar speakers may not be the best choice. I used to own many highend planar speakers (Maggies, Apogees, and stats). The problem with most planars are limitd dispersion, lack ... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Brrgr, I agree with you completely about enjoying the music and not get caught up with the equipment. Bravo, very well said! | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Luciahd, you misquote me. I said the VR4jrs sounded "unnatural" when I auditioned them prior to the NY Highend Show, and I did not say they sound "midfi" if you read my posts carefully. At the Show, as I have stated over and over, the speakers rea... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? I think most who have not had a chance to hear speakers with seamless integration of drivers such Apogee planars, full range electrostats, Source Technologies mentioned above, or Hyperion 938s (which I own) would not appreciate the mild lack of dr... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Bartinimi, "sounded hi-fi" means unnatural. Perhaps I should have said "mid-fi", like many of the cheaper Sony's, Marantz's, pioneer's, etc. But don't misunderstand me, I would not put VR4jrs in that category at all. Before the NY Highend Show, th... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? No I don't own the VR4jrs...but I have heard them in many different dealer rooms and shows over the years. The only time these speakers caught my attention was at the NY Highend Show this year. They were being driven by the DK integrated with NOS ... | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? And then some...Many audiophiles go through systems like toilet paper. Sorry Willhitx, I think this town has been abandoned long ago. I thought it was amusing that Magnequest actually went back 4 years on this forum to reply on this thread. Magneq... | |
| Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz? Well, I guess my speaker is close to what your looking for. My Hyperion 938s are supposed to be flat down to 30Hz (depending on room size), 90dB, 6 ohms nominal. I'm driving it with a cheap 20 watt solid state all-in-one Yamaha tuner/CDP/integrate... |
