| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? Op, I think you need to be more clear on your budget. I think there are good speakers for lower prices but if you have $20k then you can choose from more models. I also like the MBL but they are not often for sale used. Other models I liked when ... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs I have not heard the Cremona M but SF are known to have been a nit soft and great for jazz. Maybe not the best for rock. I would go with the Golden Ear or look for other brands. Unless you can listen to the SF first and compare to other brands. ... | |
| Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers Marten Parker Duo are fantastic. Not sure if you can find used for $5k, maybe for $6k. I personally use Canton Reference 9K and is very happy but they are a lot cheaper and not as good as the Marten's. Boenicke W5 are great. Fyne has some great ... | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height Fyne F502 might be good. Or these Swedish open baffle ones. Had really good bass when I heard them. https://www.lindstromaudio.com/ | |
| Integrated amp recommendation I used to have a Rega Brio and changed to Schiit Ragnarok. It was a night-and-day difference to the better. I suggest you either try to find a used Ragnarok with a dac or buy a new one without dac. I would guess that the dac card is better than th... | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 Hi, @fredag ! Sounds like you're from Sweden like me. I might miss the HEM audio show in Stockholm next week but if you live nearby and can go that might be a good time to listen to some different speakers and hear what the dealers recommend. I... | |
| New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE.. Besides Acora in granite there are also speakers made of concrete like Rauna. https://www.rauna.com/ Wilson, Magico, Rockport and others also has pretty stiff boxes made of different materials. | |
| Birthday DAC It may limit the selection if it has to be small and tube based. I guess the form factor is more important and will just give some ideas of smaller dac's. M2Tech Young MkIV Chird Hugo 2 or Qutest Hugo TT2 IFi Pro DSD Nuprime AMG | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? I was thinking that they are becoming more and more popular. I was close to buying Fyne but they jacked up the price just before I decided. In general I assume that coaxial elements are more expensive for a given quality. That may explain why no... | |
| Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp? If Integrated are ok you also have the Schiit Ragnarok and Moonriver Audio. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! This is one of the best sounding YT videos I've found so far. Try it on you big rigs or with good headphones. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @rbertalotto Its not about bit rate… its about the recording microphone being used and the playback equipment on the other end. No way on Gods green earth can anyone accertain anything from these videos. It seems you are moving the goal post.... | |
| Klipsch La Scala replacement? Fyne are at least somewhat easy to drive and they now have a vintage series also, you may like their looks. | |
| Preamp with two volume controls? Maybe a Lokius could help? Or the Loki Max. https://www.schiit.com/products/lokius | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market I really like my Canton Reference 9k stand mounts. Fantastic finish in walnut and a great sound. Also available in black or white if that matches your room better. More bass than most small speakers and voices are wonderful. https://youtu.be/g3T... |
