| Any audiophiles in Israel or Europe here? @lou_setriodes I live in the EU and I can assure you that electronics (amps, dacs, etc), TTs, etc, are reasonably priced here by hi-end standards -- surprisingly so. Better still, dealers & manufacturers can be very accommodating when it comes... | |
| recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers Hi, nice speakers! Your amp choices are very solid and my rating for driving those speakers would be: CAT Octave Jadis.I had Jadis amps and love the sound. However, IMO, the other amps will better match the Kaya 45s dynamcis and speed and FR. Anot... | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers Apparently no-one caught on to the fact you have two SVS subs. Probably the simplest option is to connect the pre output to the SVS and connect the SVS rca output to the ML and fro, there to the Dynaudios. Start cutoff frequency at 80Hz and take i... | |
| Is your heart filled with a love of music, or something else? I agree, we should be grateful for all the music available to us at the push of a button -- and I am. I love exploring my music collection and I also enjoy fiddling with the system from time to time -- a footer here, a slab under the speakers, etc... | |
| endgame Amp for my Audiovector R3 Arrete Have you tried Benchmark amps? They are about 6000 euro and excellent performers.Alternatively, you could consider a Symphonic Line stereo amp: it’s wide bandwidth with excellent driving ability (a bit like the Soulution), without pronounced hi fr... | |
| Dysphoric audiophile agoraphobia @Celtic :) Never leaving one’s abode does not assure complete insulation and safe conduct .......Indeed! Also consider the perilous instability of the power grid wich regularly rears its ugly head and mercilessly squashes our carefully erected dyn... | |
| Lots of cubic feet George -- we need more info to come up with ideasRoom dimensions?Which B&W are you using and how have you positioned them?Regards | |
| Does length matter ? Of course you should if you can.By connecting speakers to an amp you are creating (or extending) a circuit and, since in stereo we have two channels, i.e. two electronically identical circuits, it's good to keep them that way. By using wires of di... | |
| Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers? Strictly speaking and assuming your room is small, "full-range (i.e. 30-+20kHz), near-field" monitors for listening @ 2m do not exist. The Dutch&Dutch & Genelecs mentioned above by @djones51 come very close. To these I would add the Neuman... | |
| BW 800 D3 Floor Speakers Agree with Georgehifi above. The Rowland will give you a slightly warmer sound than the Luxman.I don't particularly like how either the Classe or the McIntosh are voiced, so I will not comment about them. | |
| Music is sound, sound can be music Nice & interesting post.Of course, in all of the examples you mention people created music -- albeit using different instruments.I have found, empirically, that the underlying objection many of these people have lies in seeing a computer as a ... | |
| Hales Transcendence 5’s slight discrepancy Does this happen when you feed both speakers a high frequency sine wave or music? Sine wave: both your speakers (tweeters) should measure the same.Music: who knows, it depends on the music, the mastering, etc. I am sure you are aware that one chan... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) Hi Juan,Do you think that “size matters” and new designs are not worthy in terms of sound quality and capabilities?? Yes, size matters definitely when you want to have a big sound -- rather than simulate big sound. Case in point: I now have small... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) Hi Juan, welcome.You will get very many different recommendations to your post, so I will focus on answering your questions instead.I have listened to, and auditioned, the SCM 150, modified Klipschorns, and scores of JBLs including their big 3way ... | |
| Music and Gear Surely a well set-up, well performing system enhances the enjoyment of music? A bit like comparing material and spiritual pleasures. Not sure where the comaprison comes in,.I like your simile, however: equipment: material pleasuremusic: spiritual |
