| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @auxinput wish there was someplace to do a real-life side-by-side. I have to admit that at least in the various Youtube and Instagram videos that the Luxman seems to pair with the 805D3s better than the Macs do... But, at least for me, online vide... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @ei001h @twoleftears Ok... I take it back! After checking out of those videos I have to say... dang, Luxman sounds smooth on the 805D3!It appears that those Luxmans are almost 50% more cost than the Mac gear that I’m looking at.I believe the MA720... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @ei001h Thanks, I’ll check out that Instagram! | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Thanks all,Learning a lot here and using your info to do follow-on research. For sure, no decision until acoustic panels arrive and go up (end of the July, early Aug?) then we’ll see where things go from there. Budget isn’t unlimited which would p... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Thanks all:In general it sounds like there is no significant danger by going big (just don’t crank the dial) - I’m more concerned with having enough headroom. Given the size of my room and the sitting distance, I have a feeling that I’ll blow my e... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @snuphy91 My room is a little smaller than yours: about 15x15x10 high. Sub is eventually on the TODO list to fill in the bottom end - but after amp and streamer upgrades. The REL looks like something along the line of what I’m consdering, also thi... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @stereo5If I did do the MC302 route, my initial path would be to have no pre-amp and just output from my single source (Sonos streamer) directly. My entire music collection is digital and stored on a NAS and available to Roon, Plex, and DLNA - I p... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @verdantaudio Intersting! So it sounds like between those options that the MC302 would be way overkill and I should consider either the MA5300 or MA7200 with the deciding factor really being where I want to stand on the autoformer vs no autoformer... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Being that I just bought these speakers, replacing them isn't one of the options that I'm looking for :)Trying to see what best to do within the 3 listed options, if possible. | |
| What is the best thing for me to upgrade next? Thanks KrenThat’s something that I’m still wrestling with - I think an integrated is definitely the easiest way. I was looking at something like a MA7900 which comes with a DA1 dac and leaves the door open to a DA2 upgrade in the future.Ofcourse, ... | |
| What is the best thing for me to upgrade next? Surprised, no suggestions?in my uneducated view - I’m thinking that the heavy hitters would probably be DAC or amp, then streamer. DAC is probably the least expensive thing on the list which means faster ROI, but - hypothetically speaking - I’m no... | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? I went through a period a few years back where things would get marked as delivered a day or two ahead of time. Probably the driver fudging the delivery metrics for his route. Give it a day or two before saying it’s missingproblem eventually solve... | |
| What is the best thing for me to upgrade next? Hi, I figured that by offering examples of what I'm looking at, that that would have helped to determine a rough range. To be more explicit given my examples:Amp: MC302 is about 3.5-4k used, I thinkDAC: D90 is around $800, X-Sabre about $2k newStr... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef OMG.So my new speakers just came in. Until now, I was running a Bose Lifestyle Acoustimass 5 system that I bought in the mid 90s for $2k. I know we like to knock Bose, but it was a decent for a little system with huge WAF.I was originally leaning ... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef Thanks all for the comments. Reading them in the background. After a little more research I agree that the Watt/Puppy is probably way to big for my 11x12 room. I hear the Wilson Duette is good, but those aesthetics aren't jiving with me.Still like... |
