| Best speakers around $130k? Hello MjBishop We have similar systems, I’m in the process of trading up from Boulder 2060 to 2160- i would highly recommend this. I sent my 2060 back for repairs after my cat puked on it, Boulder kindly replaced the damaged main board with that ... | |
| My kiseki Blackheart nightmare. I also had bad experiences with Kiseki Purplehearts, two defective samples, eventually shifted to Vdh Colibri.One of my Kiseki's wooden body was split and had been crudely glued together- incomprehensible that anyone would think that is acceptable | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Not on your list, but i own Focal Stella Utopias, 100k list but you may find them discounted or ex-dem at 70kIf you want to recreate the live experience, these are the kiddies.I considered Zellaton but the consensus was that they aren't man enough... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @decathalon1991I currently own a Boulder 2060 and I'm almost two- third's way through saving to upgrade to 2160. I don't have any heat issues....other than my cats wanting to sit atop it when running, which lead to the cat puke- instigated upgrade... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Agreed rsf507 I fail to understand why anyone would choose Mac over Boulder....or even Krell.The only answer that makes sense is they haven't experienced what those brands can do, Boulder especially. | |
| Critical listening and altered states Weed, shrooms, mdma and ketamine. All different and all incredible when done right. Ket does make it hard to change the record, best get it done before your bump hits. But then you are just so present in the moment and able to appreciate music in ... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson Try Focal's curvaceous Utopia range.They are so much easier on the eye than the ugly, masculine Wilsons. More musical as well. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. In my experience Nola / Alon speakers excell at low volumes.The designer has clearly paid a lot of attention to how they sound at minimum volume. It was quite incredible how the tonal balance never changed as you cranked the volume.However due to ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I did try the Trinnov pre amp, but the Wavac pt-t1 tanned it's behind.If your system is already correctly time aligned in analogue by having each drive unit the same distance from the listening position, there is nothing to be gained from the Trin... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Based on my experiences running a sound system, years as a bass phreak and a lifetime's work on my domestic rig, i can state with certainty that the ultimate bass is achieved by realising that bass is a part of the music, and should emanate from t... | |
| Complete Proprietary Systems FM Acoustics would be top of my list. | |
| SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY! Subs are better in pairs. And those Gato need all the help they can get | |
| Why are equipment racks so expensive? I use an Artesania rack and it's the centrepiece of my living room.It is massive, beautiful and functional. Aesthetics are worth paying for. | |
| klipsh scala speakers I auditioned LaScalas and found the total absence of sub- bass unforgivable in a speaker at this price. They are just incapable of playing modern music- electronica, trip hop, rap, dance music all depend on a foundation of sub bass. Your son's fri... | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? I've always thought those Mac ads banging on about 'heirloom quality' big ugly boxes with sharp edges, are selling a delusion.Like your kids are going to have a suitable home for all those massive boxes. Sad truth: your beloved system is destined ... |
