| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 I had monitor audio speakers and sold them and bought Dynadio. The low end models though. In my experience the Dynaudio speakers are much warmer. Without listening to them, you shouldn't switch, you might not like them, There are many Dynaudio d... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @thehorn that's my biggest lesson from it: it's starts with the amp. I always chased the speakers before. If I had the money and time, I'd buy a different system for my 10 favorite songs each because they all sound different now | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @bigmac1963 current ones are Evoke 20s. I love Dynaudio. I listed to the Special forty’s and I missed the warmth of the Evokes. At the dealer, then and there. So, yes, special forty’s might be the be all end all! | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @thehorn I am forever dragged into the dark audiophile underworld and I shall never be satisfied nor understood by non-believers again 😀 Seriously. Isn't it a reasonable goal to make my existing speakers sound good? Just for a day before I move... | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to @ghdprentice oh, sorry to hear. Can't imagine how, but of course the World is changing fast, we just have to try to keep making it better. One thing no one can take away from the Pacific North is geography, it's beautiful | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @thehorn What do you think about the newly printed LPs? Of course! It's not personal, it's about the #$%@#! sound. I have avoided this word all my life, but here it comes: "SYNERGY"! That's what missing downstream from my system. I have ... | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to @ghdprentice Portland! My favorite city! | |
| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? largest, tallest, widest isn't a soundstage finite? Is the bigger the better? | |
| Bookshelf dilemma I really don't know how anyone can suggest something meaningful and I will do exactly that: Harbeth. I mean try, not buy. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @theo714 but also limited me in what I can listen to that's a hill I don't know how to climb. I need a compromise (system that makes what I like sound good. Maybe there should be a software that re-samples to music we like to our taste :) | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @ghdprentice yes, I am going to buy it, it can't hurt. Worst case is that I will not get it.... But.... I am in it for the fun, and not to climb mountains up in the clouds with zero visibility :) | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @ghdprentice 1. Book: I wouldn't understand it. Not only that, it would frustrate me that I don't. It would also frustrate me that I don't have the budget to do more (more that costs $) I like technology but more than that I love the awesome and... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @retiredfarmer Hi, thank you for all this, you should write a book about how to gradually improve a system. Some of these changes seem easy, like lifting cables/dice under cd player. I will try those. If you saw where they sit now, you'd scr... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grossman616 Yes! Very helpful! However, should I really not turn it off? Ever? Doesn't it wear it out? | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @12many That's a reasonable path, I find CDs becoming a pain, a clutter. Not that LPs don't take up space. So it doesn't matter where I store it, if it connects to a DAC, that's all I need? |
