| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? I listen to 95% rock and classic rock (other 5% is HT). My speaker journey over the last 25 years in my primary system is as follows: B&W DM605, Martin Logan Montis, Golden Ear Triton Reference, Wilson Yvette, and Tekton Encore (tweeter upgr... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? Four of the last six were bought without hearing them. One was returned (Walsh Ohm Tall). For the other three I read or watched every review and looked at user comments in the forums about the speakers/manufacturer. Two of the three (Volti and ... | |
| G Rated Comments About the Relevance of Pink Floyd’s Animals Album: @carlsbad2 I just bought a bottle of wine called "Pessimist" Quote on the back "A Pessimist is never disappointed." I would say that for one reason or another I have mostly been a pessimist in my life. I am usually correct, but never happy fo... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k I ended up with an Allnic T2000 30th anniversary which is above your budget but really good. I was considering the Willsenton R800i 300b 845 which appears to be a fairly good value and solid option for a 2nd system. Might be an option to the Lin... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? When I spoke to Allnic, they also mentioned that there had been some shows in the past where they partnered with Coherent speakers. That also helped in my decision. Another plus is they don't have to be 3 feet from the wall. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? @desalvo55 I own that same Allnic amp and love it. We have fairly similar tastes in music and after looking at my options I ordered a pair of Coherent Audio 18's. Frank at Coherent and Gary at True Audiophile have both been great to work with.... | |
| Galion TS120 Doge answers this directly. Take it as you will. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) MoFi stands are now available. The box for the two of them is about 77 pounds. The bottom plate is where most of the weight is. | |
| New Class D amplifiers I am currently waiting for a LSA Discovery Warp One to arrive. It is going in a secondary system. For TAS to like an item at that price point ($1200) I think it will be a good test for my first Class D experience. I am pairing it with an Audio ... | |
| Qobuz + Lumin = Headache My experience with Qobuz on the Lumin App on Apple has been very good. I was using Tidal until a year ago and to me they perform the same from an app perspective. I was running the Aurender app previously and found that to be extremely frustrati... | |
| Analyzing DACs I would say that the one advantage to following the ASR sheep is that the units recommended by ASR can be resold very quickly and without taking as much of a haircut in the process. I was revamping a system last year and the first two units that... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost) The mart has one listed that looks to be in good shape. | |
| Good movie and/or 4k disc recommendations? The Martian looks and sounds fantastic. Last night I watched 2001 - good transfer but not a great movie) | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? @bondmanp It may have been closer to two months. I worked with them for about a month with positioning and adjusting switches but the bass was always muddy to me. The build quality was really subpar for speakers in that price range (8-9K). They... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? I tried the 5000's for a month and returned them. Comments from @circusdevil are spot on. The veneer on mine were also bubbling. I thought the bass response was really weak in my room. Shipping them back was not cheap. |
