| $10K-15K short list? Some one mentioned AudioNote ane's and Living voice both are very musical I've owned both and find the living voice speakers much more musical and better long term I sold the ANE's and kept the Living Voice speakers and gave up a little of the bas... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Oh sorry missed that your amps are 20wpc that is more what the ANE's need. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic I used to have a set of AudioNote ANE's and would like to say they are not as efficient as AudioNote claims and you will need more power to get the best out of them then 8wpc. I also found the lower base regions to be some what one toned but that ... | |
| Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA Have to say Luxman is some of the nicest built equipment around glad to hear they have sorted out the dealer network issues. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Living Voice OBX-RW3, I heard the OBX RW's and well they are fantastic but they could use a sub in a larger room. 94db and an easy load so SET friendly. too bad I can not afford the top line ones so I settled for the Avatar 2's and am very happy. | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? I wish I got 18wpc out of my SET 300b. Gosh. 8wch lol | |

| Accuphase E600 or Esoteric F-03A Luxman’s new Class A amps are nice as well, and a direct competitor to the Accuphase in Japan and similarly priced over there.(Accuphase gets a huge mark up when it crosses the pond). and of coarse the Pass Labs. I’ve had a Luxman Class A amp and ... | |
| PS Audio Sprout - NAD or Parasound for desktop? I'm not sure what your source is but if its a computer I would highly recommend the PSB Alpha system and an Audioquest red DAC combo I heard the NAD and wasn't impressed as much as the PSB Audioquest combo. http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/alp... | |

| Seems like any equipment in a metal case is protected from rfi you can not isolate from all RF period lower Frequencies are easier. The sun bombards us with RF, every cell phone every wireless device is bathing you in High frequencies. shorter the wave length the smaller the holes in the cage need to be. I’ve... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? I’m not sure why you are using the Sonos at all? I use a small form Asus Vivo PC that outputs optical to my dac. I know its not PMC ready but I do have the usb for that (i know your trying to get away from that). I’m just wondering what the Sonos ... | |
