| Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room @nightfall try Omega speakers. I have the Junior 8 XRS. They are one of my best ever speakers. Right now they hold their own against Devore Fidelity O/Babys at home. I have had the XRS' for about a year. This will order 2 more pairs- Junior 8- for... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? @slaw I am one of those who don't pay attention to or bother about the cables being used. Short answer- I don't know which cable. Maybe from Amazon. Either ways they sound lovely. Ordering another pair - of speakers- from Louis as I write this- t... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? @slaw agree on Omegas. I have the Junior 8 XRS. Love them. My favourite amongst all speakers. They also make amps now- I think I got their first 220v earlier this year. SE, Class A, 2.5w. Sublime. Powers even my not that efficient O Babys with ease. | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? I had posted earlier about the Gato FM15- punching way above their weight. A brand not well known for their speakers and a brand not that well known period. Another pair I would add to the mix is Omega. Have had the Junior 8 XRS- amazing sound. T... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? When I read only the title in the Audiogon Forum email, I thought of my Gato FM15s. And lo and behold you are also talking about a Gato pair. I have owned the FM15 and the PM6. Both sold. Amongs the various speakers I have sold over the years, the... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade That’s Pass Labs or Coda amps. | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw I have not heard any Pass Labs or Coda speakers. I do remember a long string of posts on the 5.5 by Terry London on Agon last year just before his review came out. He was smitten with it. The post had the title petite in it if I remember ... | |
| Tannoy or Volti I haven’t heard either of the two models you mention @charles007100 . I do have a pair of Devore Fidelity O Baby’s that I love. For your budget you could look up some of the higher end models. And if you are willing to look outside of the US I als... | |
| 85 db or more efficient speaker recommendations @thecarpathian sold them about a year ago. Don't miss them actually. I have 4 speakers right now- one too many. Devore Fidelty O/Baby 9/10 Omega Junior 8 XRS 9/10 in a different way Axxess L3 (from Audio Group Denmark) 7/10 Qualio Audio IQ 8/... | |
| 85 db or more efficient speaker recommendations I have Omega's myself- the Super 8 Junior XRS. Agree with you- very difficult to beat them. In fact I have an amp from them (tube)- maybe I am the first customer- on the way from CT to Dubai as I write this. I only ordered them thinking if Louis ... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Thank you for the amazing list. Have saved all of them to listen over the next few weeks. I will add three Bonny Light Horseman- a discovery for me in 2024. Got two of their LPs the next two are not English singers. I don’t understand either of... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k ended up buying a Hegel 390. Trade-in piece from the local dealer in Dubai. Got a good deal. The final home demo showdown was between the Hegel and the Advanced Parsi My Connect 250 (new). In various blind tests, different members of the family co... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear From India, I know of two. Rethm Speakers and EBI Audio (cartridges and turntables). From Serbia: Auris Audio, Vista Audio (partly American too), Karan Acoustics Slovenie: Apollon Audio, Audio Alto In addition to this there are many obscure one... | |
| Integrated all in one for a second system I have a Hegel H390. You can use it as a streamer only for Spotify. For Tidal you need to either have a wired connection or have another streamer. The DAC is exceptional for an H390. Another one that I have owned in the past and regret selling of... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? excellent choices. I have a few speakers and I would narrow down to these 2- both American (I am not). Omega- single driver speakers. I have the Junior 8 XRS. Even new they would be within your budget. For me they are almost the best speakers I h... |
