| Starting my showroom again No, no, and hell no. If you're that desperate/determined to burn money, pm me for my address. Sorry. It's a different world now. I don't think that you can start up now the way you could 55 years ago (to use an example above). | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A Definitely Swarm @audiokinesis. I like the BalancedForce products, but one alone won't help with nulls (to some extent, you can equalize out peaks). The KEFs are great, but I don't know how well they integrate with non-KEF speakers. | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf @vette5451--I think that your 3 choices are great. The only other speaker that I would add, the KEF R3, is probably too neutral for you.. | |
| Help me identify an amp 8417 are out of production and unavailable. Quicksilver used to offer an EL34 mod for their 8417 monos. | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? For more options: KEF R series meta, Revel Performa Be 226, Neumann KH120ii or 150, Genelec (not sure of model). | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? Not the 501SP, nevertheless: https://www.stereophile.com/content/fyne-audio-f301-loudspeaker-measurements And https://www.stereophile.com/content/fyne-audio-f500sp-loudspeaker-measurements 888: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/mof... | |
| From Sonus Faber Extrema to... Your SF will be near impossible to replace for sound quality. Maybe an Avalon Eidolon as per @Gregm. Have you thought about a pair of CJ Premier 12? | |
| My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf Any loudspeaker that you want can be stripped of finish and painted white at an automotive shop. | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? Hard to beat speaker for the price back then. Not sure it's any easier now. | |
| Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date? Off the top of my head--Shindo, VAC, Jadis, some McIntosh and HK Citation, etc., have withstood the test of time. A few rare loudspeakers, too--Altec 19, JBL Paragon, maybe Revel Salon/Salon 2 and KEF Reference series. Garrard/Lenco turntables. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction Except for their top of the line monos, aren't their amps pretty low current for their power? Can they drive low impedance speakers? | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp All tubes when feasible. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker From your list, I think that only Magico is sealed. For something that makes your amp superfluous, perhaps Neumann KH 310 plus a subwoofer swarm? | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? Fritz? JBL 708? Neumann KH 310? Genelec? | |
| Electrocompaniet AW300M or AW800M versus McIntosh 1.25KW? Check review measurements to see which ones make stated power, if it matters to you. |
