| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I've re-read the OP and the two articles directly relevant; the one mentioned in the OP and the one before it, "How not to buy a subwoofer." Erik makes it pretty clear this is mainly about his process and how he came to his conclusions. A bunch o... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I hear you, Erik. What I meant to say was that I'm learning that the initial way of going as an audiophile is toward "more" but you're explaining how "less" can be "more," and I want to be open to that. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Just discovered this website: https://www.atelier13-usa.com/speaker-product-overview I see competitors with Omega, Devore, Spatial, Klipsch, Maggies, and more. Horns, planars, concentrics, more. Take a look. | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Thank you, Erik. I have subs now, but I'm not against selling them if this is equally good. | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes @sokogear Good point. I'm not against learning *specialized* terminology, and indeed, that can often be very important. Commonsense terms often do not part easily — or stay parted — from their connotations. I would not use the word "subjective"... | |

| Musings of a Budget Audiophile This is a lovely system and one you've paid good attention to. I have to agree with @chorus that the DAC is the weak link. It's a $200 or so DAC and while you've modded it, I think your system deserves much better. I don't know about selling the ... | |

| Need help...next addition to my system I was about to suggest a sub, but I think the size of the room plus Erik's wise general advice leads first to some room analysis. That said, what I see is a pretty hard to drive bookshelf with a tube amp and no sub. Then again, this is a very be... | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes OP, bravo for coming up with this scale. I like it and will try it out. You're working out ways to express gradations of improvement. That keeps us organized in terms of expressing degree of change. Helpul! Also need to stay organized about: (a) ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @b_limo I know what you mean about hearing systems. I heard a couple of really great speakers (including the Spatials) powered with simple tube amps and the combination had everything -- the full balanced tonality, nimbleness of movement in dynami... | |
| Raven Audio and Beyond... @millercarbon said: No baby steps, each one a major improvement, the kind of thing many audiophiles would say is out of balance or not matched. So? If you are building a system the smart way to do it is great strides....What you want do is av... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Jim Salk is renowned for his cabinetry, but there are not that many speakers in his line that are all that sensitive. Still, a few are 90-92db, and they are beautiful. FYI, Salk has home trial. Daedalus, I think, does not. Lines are limited but ... | |
| Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real @asvjerry LOL. Yeah, you can search a user’s history to see if they do that mostly. Very revealing patterns can be found. |
