| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? Sorry about the standard answer... it depends. A very high quality high current design, 50wpc definitely could be fine. Tubes, easily. 30 wpc... tubes probably, maybe solid state... Pass XA30.8 would work. I have had three sets of Sonus Faber. The... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? +1 REL | |
| Immersed in the Music Yes, but happily I have a floor to myself and my partner would (could not) not do something like that. My favorite is to turn out the lights, close my eyes and let my consciousness hover between the music and sleep... just floating in music. | |
| Buyer Beware The manufacturer specifies 30 day warranty. And, you said you bought them used from the different users... or were those the systems you bought used? | |
| To Battery Or Not To Battery (12 Volt) I don't think I want that mess in my audio room. My streamer (Aurender W20SE) runs on a battery and looks good. I have heard preamps that operate on batteries, very low noise floor. | |
| Frequently asking to re-login I use all Apple devices now and the code appears and is automatically inserted into the screen regardless of which device I am on: my Mac Studio, MacBook Pro, iPads or iPhone. Last year I had finally reached the end of my tolerance with Microsoft ... | |

| Frequently asking to re-login I noticed Audiogon implemented the Cloudflare security system a week or two ago. That is probably the cause. Hopefully how often you log on will decrease over time. | |
| Real experience - Balanced or Unbalanced between Luxman Pre & Power Amps @photon46 +1 I’ve tried Blue Jeans and they are about the quality of what comes with new components. I don’t know anything about QED. Typically I recommend DHLabs for budget interconnects. But since Luxman is very hot on the top end and lea... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical @macg19 You bring up an important point about kind of sound. There are many different kinds of sound created by vendors. You may think of them on a continuum from details forward - holographic - sound spectacular to musical - focused on exact ... | |
| Best Cheap DAC Streamer I would go for a Bluesound Streamer. They sound very good for the money, I bought a Bluesound Node for $350 on Amazon, they have some better sounding ones as well. I got it in order to break in an amp so not to use my high end tube gear... It soun... | |
| ??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ??? I would try not to build it up. Try to enjoy it. Attending a classical concert in an acoustically wonderful 1920's concert hall with a world renowned orchestra can be an incredible experience, assuming you like classical music. The acoustics in ... | |
| ??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ??? Wow, that is a challenging question. It’s a bit easier if thinking about the beginning of the audio chain, since if you have a poor signal, better components may make it sound worse. But at the speaker end, unless you are under powering the amp, g... | |
| Sonus Faber Il Cremonese Amp Pairing suggestions OP +1 details forward. I recently spent time with a Burmeister 218 and SF Lilium. But with dry detailed dcs front end. Sonic spectacular but it did not sound like music. | |
