| Sopra 2 soundstage height Since living with them they sound MUCH better in my listening room than they did in an overdamped room. They feel like they're tailored for a real living space.They are very amp dependent and this will definitely show up in soundstage width, heig... | |
| Vincent SV 236 evolution The 236 was only 100 WPC into 8 ohms, the 236 MK is 150 WPC into 8 ohms. Not sure what changed internally to make that jump.I believe the 236MK and MKii are just referring to the same thing (there is only one MK model after the 236, it’s just call... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height I usually can't get past the look of the Simaudio stuff. | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Thanks for easing my concerns, they're ordered. I don't think they liked the damped room and being so far from front wall. They did not sound good with my electronics (NAD M12/M22) or the Moon 340i. They did sound pretty good with an AVM integra... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height I was listening to Destroyer when I posted, haha.The track we were playing that really accentuated this was Nine Inch Nails - Into the Void. It has some crazy/phasey effects in it that are great to test soundstage depth and width and specificity.... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Hard hard to imagine , yes. Which is why I'm so concerned after hearing this in a well damped professional showroom being several feet away from any walls. | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Tweeters were at roughly seated height to my ears so it wasn't like chair was too tall or something. I'm close to pulling the trigger on these but if they make Dan Bejar sound like a little person I'll pass. I just figured it was a setup issue a... | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line Listened to Serafino yesterday and was less impressed. Treble was clean but there was just a bit too much for my taste. They had them set up with a lot of toe in so this could've been part of the reason. Bass was very clean and articulate but c... | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line Many SF loyalists may not like the new line. IMO you can tell the older line like Cremonese is geared for classical music. It presents the stage behind the speakers and makes you feel like you're in the money seat 12 rows back in the hall. I pe... | |
| Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio Had the IDA-16 in for a trial and found it to be unlistenable during break in period and still harsh and dry treble after break in. Also got a chance to go head to head with some class AB amps vs. my NAD M12/M22 combo that I thought sounded pret... | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line Actually I'm within $1k pricewise, one just plays lower and likely with more output. I think I've got my heart set on Serafino now, we'll see if the budget can stretch that far. | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I have the NAD M12/M22 combo which as far as Class D is concerned is fairly high end. They measure great and don't have any any of the etched/digital sound to them. They are pretty smooth and about a week ago I would've sung their praise.That is... |
