| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I just saw that Aavik seems to have separates also, they probably use that for the demo I heard. P380 and maybe C380. Sounded wonderful.The Absolare integrated was a 200w piece that sounded very natural and relaxed. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I heard two really good integrated amp at a show, Absolare and Aavik. Might be worth hearing if you can find them or power amps from those companies.The Absolare integrated is around $20k. Aavik was paired with their own Boressen speakers. https:/... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? I think there are meaningful differences even with older or less than perfectly recorded albums/streams. You will still hear things more clearly.If you want to go from, say $7k to $14k for a pair of speakers is up to you. You should listen to some... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? I read that there were some open baffles speakers on Capitol Audio Fest (I live in Europe and can't go to American shows). Going to a show is kind of a nice way to see what is out in the market right now, although they tend to mostly show the more... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) I have heard smaller models of at least Focal, Acapella, Verity and Wilson. All of them sounded great. I would like to hear these as well but I would probably never buy them.I am especially curious about Goldmund and Nola.Here is a reviewers impre... | |

| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? I just heard the 3 and they were amazing. Out of my price range of course. Sounded clear and relaxed at the same time. The guy showing them also said that they work in both smaller and larger rooms.I started a new thread about them since I had mis... | |
| Time to get up to speed (somewhat) with digital. I like my Dragonfly Black but there is also the Red and the new Cobalt. All of them has gotten good reviews. I think you coild be happy wirh anyone of them for tears to come.You can also try Ifi nano black or one of their more expensive versions. | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Everyone's favorite is a "giant killer". I agree somewhat with this. That said one new favourite is Dutch & Dutch 8. About $10k with amps and dac built in. I hope I can save money for those. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. I like Boenicke W5 and thete are a pair here on Audiogon now. They are very small and cute, your spouse may like them. Very natural sound. Might be a little too small for your room but they fill a lot more than you think from the look. | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) Congrats to the good hearing after years as a music lover! If you like your system you don't have to change anything but if you want to, or think a smaller system would suit you better in the long run thete are a lot of pretty serious integrated a... | |
| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... Go @elizabeth !I do hope that forums will become better and not worse over time but I am not sure that will happen soon unless there are new mods and mabye new rules. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Totem One used to be good, now there is Signature One.https://totemacoustic.com/product/signature-one/ | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Buchardt S400 might work. Some speaker with a sealed box should work better than a reflex ported. |
