| B&W vs. Sonus Faber If you drink while judging spkrs, you’ll like anything including Bose | |
| McIntosh c1100 vs audio research ref 6se vs Ayer KX-R Why is low impedance of a Mac going into an arc preamp with a high impedance a bad thing? | |
| Subwoofer placement - does it matter? If I need to measure it, it seems it can’t be heard. Diff spots in room are diff for sound which makes sense. It sucks that main speakers generally don’t do well with wide dispersion, which is another issue. | |
| Subwoofer placement - does it matter? The lenghth of a 40 hz sound wave is 28 feet. I don’t see placement of a sub to matter all that much unless it’s in an auditorium | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? Ok, but seriously, what’s the answer? | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? So what is a balanced vs unbalance preamp?difference? | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Seems if you have a Mac amp b&w speakers would work. Did notice that 803s are rated up to 500 watts. Quite an appetite vs 804s being rated up to 200 watts. | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? So basically it makes no diff if balanced or unbalanced. Marketing hype. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Not sure buying used spkrs is a good idea. No idea if they were abused and you’ll never have full confidence about what you have. Used cars ok, but speakers a lot tougher. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber 802s are monsters but do like the larger bass driver size. Leaning to the 803s probably black vs rose which I don’t think works with 803s (fine for 804s which I have). I have a 12 inch asw 2000 b&w sub. 803s seem like a woman with a devilish ... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Thanks,I know SR is 4 ohms vs 8 for b&w. I wasn’t listening with same setup. So hard to compare sounds. Have a Macintosh amp and a high end tube amp and hear Mac does better with b&w. Have not heard much about sf and what I have heard ... | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? How does schiit compare to high tube preamps? Schiit seems really good | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I had bluesound and connection problems with Spotify. I deleted and reinstalled Spotify ap on iPad and it got better. I thought dac on bs was very poor and got a new dac and abandoned bs. Now I use a roon nucleus to stream qobuz and it works with ... | |
| AB testing - high end vs low end tube preamp vs avr 3,300 is admirable mr soix. Hopefully I will find a preamp soon. Another few years number 85 happens. Plenty of time to reach 4,000 for both of us. Love riding horsies. | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? Phcollie, you very smart and schiit is looking really good to me now. Have you ever measured watt use when in passive mode?I have a Macintosh amp and a chord tt2 used to stream qobuz from a nucleus. |
