| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues B&W used to be a bit hard to drive. Maybe the new ones aren't. I listened to Fyne speakers at a store and liked them. They are pretty easy to drive and has good bass for their size. F500 or F500SP may be an option for you to try. Best bass fr... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS If I was looking for an amp in that price I would look at Schiit Tyr and try to find a nice pre amp. The Gato is probably great too, a bit uncommon and I have not heard it. I have heard another Schiit amp. Or the Moonriver Audio. | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 Looks like someone demoed Kef Blade 2's with the new Hegel A30 in Munich. I was not there but read the the H30A is really good, better than the H590 and should be able to drive anything. The cost of course doubles if you're gonna use it in a mono ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience These Lindström Audio open baffles were really good. The price were around $10k in Sweden and it was one of the best speakers I heard that day (a small local Audio ahow). Lindström Audio ISO 85 speakers, Viva amp and Revox tape deck. https://... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? I have the small Canton Ref 1k and is very happy. Voices sounds really good and the bass that exists is clear with great timbre. If the big brother sounds similar it is a great choice. I've also been impressed when I've heard Marten and Qln at sho... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? Marten Oscar Duo are a stand mounts. You probably want Oscar Trio. | |
| Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers +1 @steakster +1 @maxwave I also think Marten Parker Trio could be perfect. I heard the small Parker Duo recently and they were great but if you want bass then the Trio should be way better. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Stenheim, Rockport, Focal, Marten and Vimberg are some brands you could evaluate. I really liked a pair of Marten stand mounts I heard recently. KLH are also becoming more popular. | |
| Streamer advice Volumio Primo or Rivo is in that price range. Just a Raspberry Pi works if you are a bit technical. https://orchardaudio.com/product-category/pecanpi/ | |
| Speaker upgrade You can add the Fyne Vintage line to your list. https://www.whathifi.com/news/fyne-vintage-speakers-promise-retro-looks-and-cutting-edge-technology As others have said the Paradigm are different to the rest and if you like them then a lot of oth... | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range I was looking at Fyne F501 and F502 before but ended up with stand mounts instead. I was close to buying one, they were great small towers. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? @mofojo I've seen the Borresen 5 for real and they look exquisite! I'm sure the M1 are also great looking. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? MBL 126 is the best I've heard. Kii Thee is probably next. | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage My Canton Ref 9k goes deep and has a great soundstage. Costs a little more but worth it. Otherwise you could try Fyne F500SP with a sub. | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 Have you looked at Moonriver Audio? I think they look great and sound great. |
