| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle Contrarian here--your current setup is great for low level listening. Your hearing may be great for your age, but it sounds as if you have presbicusis that needs to be addressed. | |
| Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls? I do not own them. Pure curiosity since they are frequently recommended to buy used as an upgrade. | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XDs FYI, I vaguely remember at one time that the importer recommended Skylan stands as a cost-effective stand. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass @freediver what piano are you listening to that sounds like that? | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover @avanti1960 Timber and how it makes me feel. | |
| Desperate to Get Back to Horns Not within the budget, but the closest currently made is the JBL 4367. | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) Eminent Technology, Magnepan, Revel PerformaBe (walnut). | |
| 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. |
