| Integrated or Receiver? if you listen to fm broadcast then you should be happy with just about any yamaha reciever.How would you characterize the sound of FM broadcast? | |
| Integrated or Receiver? Somehow with the last series or two of amps, Yamaha has changed the sound.I don’t believe they changed the sound much, if at all. One reviewer compared the new A-S2100 to the old CA2010 and claimed they sounded identical. A member of another forum... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Hi, Heresy 3 arrived today!I still did not connect them yet, because I'm waiting for them to adapt to room temperature. I just put them in the starting (desired) position.Tomorrow morning, I will put them in the drive :)The picture shows that my c... | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible Lol! | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? @grinccaffe Welcome to the Forum. I had no trouble understanding your post.Some have reported improvements from using such stands, but others seem to prefer the floor risers. I use mine with the floor risers. They do lack a bit of soundstage heigh... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? I was a bit surprised by Steve Guttenberg's review. It seems that he loves almost everything that comes through his room and usually comes off as a Kool Aid chugger. | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano No, he needs to throw a lot of money at a hi-fi solution, tube amps and such. Definitely needs some shiny new gear from one of the resident dealers. There’s no way any pro audio gear will solve the problem. | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano I was just going to respond about the various options now beginning to sound like there is no reliable option ... only what various users have experienced and were happy with.This is just the issue. The gear I recommended is solely based on what I... | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano I'd go with this:https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-S801SL-Natural-Integrated-Amplifier/dp/B00N30M2DW I have yet to encounter another brand that produces as realistic piano tones.That's where these amps excel. | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano If you want to stay with active speakers and depending on your budget, you could also consider the KEF LS50 powered version. You will probably end up spending about the same amount by the time you add the cost for a preamp/amp combination to go wi... | |
| Integrated or Receiver? @will62 I can't speak for older Yamaha units. I have the A-S500 (501 sans the DAC) and would characterize it as mostly neutral with a sweet top end. It will be mellow with mellow speakers and bright with bright speakers. I've used it with Klipsch ... | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano Yes, they will be much more mellow than the Focals, but not veiled. Give em a go. MD gives you 60 days to test them out. | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano It doesn't get much "sharper" (and fatiguing) than Focal monitors IMO. Get yourself a decent class A or AB amp and some Wharfedale Dentons. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? I'd put about 2/3 of the budget toward speakers. | |
| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated Croft Phono Integrated. Plenty of power but not overkill. It's a hybrid with tubes in the input section. Output stage is Mosfets. |
