| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Alright, I can see it’s time for a floorstander :-) Because you are sitting behind a desk, and your room isn’t that large I think you really need some room correction. I have the same situation. A small unit that is a really great tool and a step ... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Since you’re so happy with the LS50, why don’t you try the Ref 1?I’m right now listening to the 201/2 model in a near-field setup and crossed at 100Hz. It delivers a huge, very dynamic and very detailed/transparent sound with maybe the best mid an... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice You’re very good with an investment in Bluesound. Reliable and nice app. Bought a cheap iEast streamer recently. Don’t know how it works yet. Auralic mini another example. You can input a harddrive with your own files. Don’t know their app. Oppo S... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) These MPD tweeters (micro pleated diaphragm) are very fast. If you listen near-field as I do at the moment the transients may be a bit to much. They’re hard, almost hurt. Maybe you can call that "un-musical" or as Shadorne means the highs are stan... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) @shadorne My ears are becoming more and more accustomed to the MA Studio. Or am I burning in the speakers? Well, I believe the first.. Listening to Charlie Musselwhite tonight "One night in America" (Telarc) and "Sanctuary" and I think the Studio’... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Monitor Audio Studio. Standmounts. Borrowed over the weekend. May be the most clear and revealing dynamic speaker I’ve heard. Sold in hifi shops but this is more a working tool for the studio. Easy to integrate with subs while they don’t give you ... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @digsmith I'd like to recommend you to try and find a pair af the ATC C1 subs to add to your SCM 19v2. They play perfect bass and should be a great compliment. Would like those 19s myself. Do you have the passives or actives.This weekend borrowed ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Bjork playlist on Tidal.Refreshing to hear something else than old rock sometimes :-) | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) In the Pro world PSI monitors are regarded as a Swiss precision intrument. Still a fantastic listening but may be a bit fatiguing if you sit for long hours.For very high precision but also a beautiful organic and very balanced sound you don’t want... | |
| The best music in 2018 Pistol Annies - Interstate GospelA more laidback beautiful album from the Pistol Girls. Very fine production. No excessive loudness.New releases from the champ Rodney Crowell not to be bypassed. | |
| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? Just discovered Colter Wall "Songs of the plains". Absolute reference acoustical recording. Deep double bass. 3D. 2018. Wouldn’t sound harsh on anything. They didn’t do recordings like this in the past.... Perfect for the Benchmark :-) | |
| The best music in 2018 +1 Colter Wall.Very fine acoustical recording. Reference. Like the deep double bass playing. 3D soundstage. Fine songs. According to Tidal he's 22 years!? Sounds like 40 at least. Thanks. | |
| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? My advice to you would be to use more than one dac. I’m sure the Benchmark is superb for good recordings. And there are a few out there. With Tidal it’s rather easy to find them. Use another dac, maybe one with tubes in the output stage, for all t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @ yyzsantabarbaragot the ARC2 from before and it works very well with my desktop system to reduce all negative reflexes you have from the desk, pc monitors and so on. It’s really fun to listen into the mix when you sit very close. Hard to work tho... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Bought a used Anthem MRX510, with the ARC2, to use for my desk top system. Hope it will be a step up from the Paradigm PW AMP I used so far and been very satisfied with. The PW AMP has no digital in so I presume it makes an AD/DA conversion for th... |
