| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle Here is my suggestion FWIW: Go to Somerset NJ and check out Charney Audio. Top of the line Maestro or bottom Companion. Keep your SVS subs, a good match. If you like the sound, then: Sell the Weiss. $2000 should be easy get for it. Agree, not wa... | |
| Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7? I have not had experience with Maggies at all lol. At 4 Ohms, the AS Class D would be putting out 200 W, which I would think would be adequate, but those with Maggies can chime in. Following different threads through the years, it seems many Maggi... | |
| Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7? To add to @atmasphere post above, there are Class D amps that will drive the Maggies and have a very nice tube like sound. I am referring to the Atmasphere Class D amps. I own a pair (Very reasonably priced even new) and they have almost all of th... | |
| Attention Horn Owners @sinner My setup is all tubes. I have the Aric Audio Motherload XL and the Radu Tarta 45 SET. I live in (hot) New Orleans, and you are welcome to listen any time you are in the area, and do not notice any change in room temperature. I don't know a... | |
| Attention Horn Owners @earthbound The Class D have 100W into 8 Ohm and 200W into 4 Ohm. I am not sure if it is a logarithmic scale, but somewhere between 100 and 200W should have no trouble with pushing a 90dB speaker. AN lists your speaker at 94dB, btw. The Class ... | |
| Attention Horn Owners @earthbound I have a pair of SVS 3000 Micro. These are very affordable and work very well with the Charneys. My listening room is less than ideal and about 28’x32’ with 14’ ceilings. An old double shotgun that was converted into a single so area... | |
| Attention Horn Owners Perhaps you can consider a speaker from Charney Audio. They have wonderful sound with a horn design. Depending on the model, you will have all the bass you need and a wonderful sound. I have the Companion with AER BD-3 drivers. Bass goes down to 3... | |
| DAC suggestions? Maybe take a look at PS Audio Directstream DAC DSD Mk 1 from APS Audio Transformers. The PS Audio DS was a 6000 unit. Prices substantially reduced when they brought out the Stellar Series. APS upgrades the unit with several different levels of per... | |

| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile In early 90s I moved back to Springfield, IL to attend Med School. A good college buddy of mine had a degree in musical engineering and started working for a small speaker company there, Legacy. I was visiting him at his work and he turned on some... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. Can I add great device manufacturers: Atma-Sphere, Radu Tarta, Charney Audio, Aric Audio, PS Audio, and First Watt to name a few I have experience with. Dealers: Atelier 13 Audio in Nashville has been great. Constantin is always extremely respon... | |
| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity @soix I would spend money on a good streamer to get Bluetooth compatibility while maintaining SQ for when I listen to my HiRes sources 😊 | |
| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity @jond @soix I was unaware of the ability to Bluetooth to my Innuos. That would definitely be easiest. I will have to look into that once I get home from my vacation. Do either of you know if this is a definite option? | |
| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity I am a very lucky guy :-) I use android, but will definitely look for an Apple device to AirPlay through. Thanks to both of you! | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound +1 on Charney Audio Concerto with the AER BD-3 drivers. Super efficient and awesome sound. Get a nice flea watt Set and enjoy audio heaven. I have the Companions with the AER and a couple of SVS subs and could not be happier in my 24x32 ft with ... |
