| Raven Audio and Beyond... @tomic601 "You have lots of choices. Raven and Tekton are just two." +100 on this comment. These products are not singletons in their suits, they exemplify design principles and they have a happy synergy. But these qualities can be found in other... | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming My audio wish list definitely includes better tools for diffusion. | |
| Integrated upgrade recomendations +1 @dayglow Upgrade your amp then source and have basic room treatment. I would modify this advice just a little bit. Often, the room is a big and overlooked factor affecting the sound. With that in mind, I would do things this way: (a) Tes... | |
| Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real Thats great I popped my cookies. Ever make comments that *don't* make fun of people's posts? | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Thanks so much. I’ve been studying the impedance curve aspect, too, since I tried out Focal 936 (based on nominal sensitivity) and it was a flop (due to impedance curve). Wish Salk released such data but they said they get reports of their spea... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @b_limo These would be coming into competition with the Salks. The Salks are clearly underpowered by (a) my QS Mono 60 tube amps and (b) my Pass XA 25. In addition, when I have powered them with more wattage — Van Alstine SET 400 and/or MiniGan5, ... | |

| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption If a god is a pasta-being, would a lasagna be the consorting of gods and mortals? | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Interesting topic, not unrelated to other recent threads on high sensitivity speakers. For me, the question comes down not only to how to pair these with various kinds of amps, nor the tonality, but the dimensionality of the sound. What is the ima... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption As much as people deride Nietzsche, wow -- what energy he generates. If I want a short thread that dies quickly, I'll go with Kant or Aquinas! In fact, I think Nietzsche is better than even Chomsky for generating light and heat. Then again, there... | |
| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? To maximize value, I would consider something a bit more off the mainstream. E.g. from Ascend acoustics: https://ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/SRM1/srm1.html Or perhaps from Fritz: http://www.fritzspeakers.com/Fritz%20Carbon%206%20T... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Well done, Charles1dad. The devil is in the details. I tried some Focal 936 towers because they listed at 8 ohms, 92 dB sensitivity. However, when one looks more closely: "My estimate of the Focal’s voltage sensitivity was 89.5dB(B)/2.83V/m—clos... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? Everything Can't really get a more ignorant answer to the OP's question. It's as if the word "or" is mystifying to someone using the language for decades. | |
