| Which Speaker Its usually larger drivers or more drivers as you work up the model line. For example, the monitor audio silver 50 is the smaller bookshelf with a 5.25" driver while the silver 100 is the larger bookshelf with an 8" driver. Try looking for picture... | |
| Which Speaker I have a friend with a Yamaha A-S301 integrated amp and some Monitor Audio Bronze 2 bookshelfs and it sounds very good. He added a used SVS sb1000 sub and the overall sound quality surprises me every time I hear it.I also have another friend that ... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? OP,Since you are under budget with the Outlaw you might think about adding a separate streamer to handle your hi-res streaming. https://www.andoveraudio.com/products/songbird-hi-res-internet-audio-streaming-deviceI dont have any experience with th... | |
| Substantial Upgrade OPUnfortunately my Dad is in Louisiana and I am in Kansas so it has been some time since I've heard his system (Thanksgiving 2019). The last time I heard his Planar 6 he was still running the older Ania cartridge and the cheaper fono MC. I have no... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? That outlaw is a solid option. I didn't realize they had a 2nd generation available. I looked at the gen 1 after it was out of production and it looked like a solid performer for the price and is well regarded. Im sure you would be happy if you we... | |
| Substantial Upgrade I have a Rega Planar 8, Apheta 3 and Aria (mk 2) phono stage. My dad landed on the Planar 6, Ania Pro, and Aria phono stage. We are both very happy with our purchases. We like the simple set up and how well the Rega components work together. I can... | |
| Substantial Upgrade "Had your chance"... more like dodged a bullet. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Happy hunting. Let us all know if you decide on anything or go a different route completely. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I still can't find the review with the bench test measurements but per the stereophile review..."Power output: 90Wpc into 8 ohms (20Hz–20kHz, <0.02% THD) (19.5dBW), 125Wpc (21dBW), both channels driven, at 0.2% THD."https://www.stereophile.com/... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Read some reviews on the Arcam if you have any interest. That 90 watt rating is conservative. There is a bench test with measurements that confirms this (that i couldn't easily find right now). My Revel F208 towers don't seem underpowered so I am ... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? The Arcam SR 250 is a 2.1 oddity of sorts. You can call it an integrated with HMDI benefits or a 2.1 channel AVR, so it most likely won't win over too many purists around here. I have a similar situation as you. I wanted to move away from an AVR a... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Check out the now discontinued Arcam SR 250. MSRP was $3600 but Music Direct has it listed for $1499 (trying to clear out stock i would assume). https://www.musicdirect.com/receiver/Arcam-SR250-Stereo-AV-Receiver-2?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MD_BRCTARIsADXo... | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! Chane Audio A5.5 towers, under $1000 shipped NIB (not always in stock though). HTD level 3 tower speakers, also under $1000 shipped NIB. Both great internet direct companies without as much appreciation as they should have. | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I absolutely love my Revel F208's but I still run a sub (SVS sb4000). Might think about adding a sub (or 2) before swapping towers. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @dougthebiker... how do you like the Aegirs? I was initially interested but from reading reviews and 3rd party measurements they sh!t the bed on anything below an 8 ohm load. Measurements obviously aren't everything but I didn't pursue it any furt... |
