| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? I listened to my Canton Ref 9K the other day and was surprised by their ability to play bass notes very clearly. I looked at their specs and they are said to hit 25 Hz but I guess that is a few db below neutral. Great stand mounts and could work g... | |
| burmester bc350 $375,000 per pair Their amps looks even more interesting. The 159 mono poweramp is for example mentioned in the article. | |
| Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout. Canton Ref 9K would be interesting. I think they are around $3k. https://www.canton.us/products/reference-k/reference-9-k | |
| Down sizing The Schiit Ragnarok in the Fully loaded version has both phono and digital input. You can connect both a computer and a tt to it. It sounds great for its price but only has 60w so you may want to avoid very hard to drive speakers. Going up in p... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing @kokakolia there are some huge differences between kitchens and hifi systems. In a kitchen the different storage units must fit and the doors must fit the storage units but other than that it's mostly about how it looks. If you have a crossover a... | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? I think you speakers may be limiting more than your dac. Belabor 8000 are not known to be high end speakers. I think you should try to listen to some other speakers and amps first. | |
| Need help to select a speaker I listened to some Fyne speakers but then ended up with Canton Ref 9K which are stand mounts with a port (on the back of the speakers). Sounds great to me but I have not compared them to Brittish speakers. Fyne are otherwise small and could fit i... | |
| Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new? Forgot speakers but Fyne and Focals are good. Dynaudio and Sonus Faber both has small floorstanders that are price competitive. | |
| Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new? Schiit Ragnarok amp is great and work with most speakers. I don't really think there is a "best bang for the buck" but this Amp was a Huge upgrade from my Rega Brio. That means $2k amps are worth it for me. Above this there are some Hegel and Moo... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . The last lemming jumped off the deep end. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Isn't this type of +200w amps a bad match for your Cube speakers? If the speakers only need a few watts then the amp must lower the output a lot and it sounds like it is a digital volume control. Maybe the PWM signal inside the amp is a bit easie... | |
| How Do I Choose A Phono Preamp The Lejonklou might suit you. Got a very positive review in Stereophile. https://www.stereophile.com/content/lejonklou-entity-phono-preamplifier | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Sorry you were forced to change wiring. I hope it was not too expensive. I live in Europe and some things may be a bit different here but we choose to get fiber into our house a couple of years ago. I was thinking the next step would be network ca... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? I would also add Bryston B-135 cubed to your list. If you want to keep the price down the Moonriver Audio Ref integrated is only $5k new and has great reviews. Said to drive most speakers really well. I’ve heard it with a Focal Kanta 3. https:... | |
| Upgrade path direction I don't have any turntable but I recently updated my integrated amp and my speakers. Both went from pretty cheap ($700 or so) to around $2k parts. The amp upgrade improved the sound the most so an amp or pre-amp can be very important for the sound... |
