| Modifying Crossovers Hi @falmgren, It doesn’t look like the consensus here is that you should improve your speakers’ xover. As you are serious about this, please check @elliottbnewcombjr ’s post above. Changing the xover components for more expensive parts (I don’t t... | |
| Revel F228be I second @kota1 ’s advice above although I’d hold off on the 2nd sub for now. The room is, indeed, a major player in the sound, check out Grimani , an expert in the matter. Trying out several speakres is also mandatory in my book as well as grea... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... Hello @glm911 and welcome to these shores. You have a pair of excellent speakers and your amplification, while dated, is a very good vintage! 1) In your shoes, I would begin with an external phono for your TT. 1b) I would then check the usefuln... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. @philosurfer there are billions of people in the world (and many millions in the US) who technically or financially couldn’t access these speeds - so if MQA can be a vehicle that helps in these situations (even though it would rank very low on a ... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Hi @elliottbnewcombjr I have noticed that your opinion is always well documented and your recommendations are always well supported factually & /or anecdotally. It is refreshing to read someone whose opinion is based on fact and /or experienc... | |

| Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Both are excellent amplifiers and so is the d"agostino momentum. I listen to classical, as well as blues & jazz, so I would opt for the Gryphon. YMMV, so audition them first. You won't go wrong with any of them | |
| Matching Power and Speakers -- Much Ado about Not-that-Much? (Tube amps and speakers) He's making two, separate, claims: 1) About 15W amp power should suffice for most home systems 2) (IF) High powered tube amps sound better than the lower powered ones, it's probably because their output transformers are better -- i.e. transforme... | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? The word "flat" relates to how well your system REPRODUCES whatever has been input to it. In other words, how far your system deviates from the original NOT that the sounds / music / etc will be flat! Regards | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Try the Metronome T1. But why get into new, expensive, adventures if you're satisfied with your present rig? | |
| Linn Sondek Phono Preamp If your budget stretches to 2.5k, the PS Audio Stellar (something) is stellar sounding. Alternatively, the musical fidelity phono is excellent for the price. The PS audio phono is much better of course. | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height Oooops, thanks yogi and sorry. @piramis , my post above was intended for you! | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height Hi @yogiboy, since you liked the Wilsons, here are some excellent sounding suggestions (and unusual ones, too). By excellent I mean better than the standard, good quality, hi-end speaker offerings. All of these are within your budget -- either ne... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? Interesting case @rooze : you are looking to improve what is already a v. good system, and within a specific budget limitation! Given your reticence in modding the Steelhead (I wouldn't either), the Moon that Raul rmentioned seems like one of the... | |
| Lamm M1.2 vs Classé CA-M600 for Vivid giya 2 I heard the Lamms powering Kharma Exquisite classique and I remember loving the sound on jazz, chamber music, & rock. I'm not sure they were better than your Giyas though... Congratulations! |
