| Salk Veracity ST Speakers I have Salk SS6M speakers and chose them over the Martin Logan Motion 60s. They are absolutely gorgeous, have incredible bass and accurate but intimate presentation, up and down the range. They also beat out Focal 936, Dynaudio Evoke 30, Fritz Car... | |
| Floorstanders vs Bookshelf Here's a guess. When you talk about the Monitor Audio speakers and a headache, I notice that it has a metal (gold dome) tweeter. The Elac Carina has a ribbon tweeter and is more relaxing. I had similar issues and moved to an Ascend Acoustics ribbo... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? If your cousin is also your brother, then your parents are cousins. My guess is that the advice you're being given is evidence that inbreeding is already damaging the family line. | |

| I am so happy..... @tylermunns I fell so far into the rabbit hole of audio, I had to dig myself to the other side. Thousands of dollars and countless tedium-addled hours later, I MIGHT finally be at where I used to be. I can’t say my quality of life improved choo... | |
| I am so happy..... Call me ignorant if you want. Does not bother me even an iota. I will go the grave happier than everyone who is condescending. So glad you found happiness and that you don’t expect to hear any areas of the sound that might make you keep trying ... | |
| Where to get MHDT Orchid modfications? @grannyring might have advice | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? No one has mentioned line array (open baffle or not) speakers. I have only read about them, but I wonder if they might address the OP's call for "clarity" or "accuracy" or whatever magic word equates to what he wants. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @overthemoon It's safe for me to say that "this forum causes drinking." | |
| Amplifier for desktop near field system If I'm not mistaken, Darren Myers (engineer at PS AUDIO) has a desktop system with those Harbeths plus a sprout 100. FWIW. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @dagda That triggers what I assume to be grown men to loose their effing minds! Bro, this forum is sometimes like dudes at a bar with a few beers in them. Thinking about that as a possible context might help talk you off the ledge. | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets The "wiring in the wall" argument has been debated ad nauseam. What is clear for the person undecided about that argument is that there is a process to decide for oneself. (a) Buy a good power cable with a return policy (buy used from The Music ... | |
| Just a public call out Nice job. I've looked at that unit long and hard. (Good thing you didn't listen to OCD Mikey, who would have told you that you were suckered into buying just pretty, not-real-audiophile stuff.) | |
| switching to stand mount speakers This is not answering your question, but assuming your price level is about $1600 or so, you might consider Ascend Sierra 2Ex. I have the tower version and it's tweeter is wonderful. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @rman9 You did the right thing by switching off. Notice on the threads (here and on his own youtube channel) how he calls people who disagree with him a "shill"? Conspiratorial, name-calling, angry, mean guy. Whatever he knows about audio, he beha... |
