| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @wolf_garcia Thanks for weighing in. I always learn from your experience! @drewportland I'll take a look. Great idea! | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Thanks to posters for the additional ideas! @vthokie83 There are some of these, nearby me: https://tmraudio.com/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/tannoy-definition-dc10a-floorstanding-speakers-gloss-black-pair/ Heard them? | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @ozzy62 Thanks. You're surely right those details matter more with horns. I wonder as @doyle3433 points out whether the Volti is more forgiving/flexible than the Klipsch (modern versions -- good point you made about that, too). | |
| Building a dedicated listening room Once you figure out the room, learn REW. | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @trivema The Klipsch I’ve heard have sounded a bit shouty and harsh. I bet this was due to (a) poor synergy between speaker and amp(s) and likely (b) lack of good room acoustics. I am hoping my next speaker adventure does not immediately launc... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Anyone try Blumenhofer? https://www.blumenhofer-acoustics.com/Products/SerieGenuin/GenuinFS1-3/GenuinFS1-3.php | |

| Single input tube preamp There's an LTA Microzotl with two input tubes on USAM in your price range, and it comes with a linear power supply. The seller seems to have a great reputation. (I am not him/her.) That might be your answer. Very solid and well regarded product. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results OP, you didn't mention your speakers and their specs. That's important, I think. I have tried the following alternatives to my tubed preamp, with both tube and class A amps: eliminated the preamp -- result was harshness and lack of soundstage.... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @james633 I have 3 subs and miniDSP to dial them in, so your suggestion is very apropos. Thanks. @blisshifi They are very "cool" speakers and I've liked them when I heard them, but for my tastes and wallet, I've moved away from an early fixation ... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @doyle3433 Appreciate your input! I am very interested in the Volti Razz. A fully formed midrange? Sign me up. @decooney mentioned them to me, too. Thanks for the tip about the Florida Expo! @markmuse My listening with the Spatial had the same ... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @perkadin Thanks for your reply. Zu being raucous is what I've heard -- and for some, that works well. I need something which avoids "raucous." I've heard others describe Forte as the sweet spot. Good to get confirmation from you. @larryi Thank... | |
| Floor to Bookshelf I’m very familiar with the Dynaudio Evoke series and they are quite good. However, I spent 7 months with Fritz speakers and wrote about them here and here. They are extensively discussed on this forum -- use the search bar or see, e.g., here. I th... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? "If there is a problem with them that can be fixed, who in my locality can do the work?" | |
| Speaker and amp advice needed If you're concerned about ceiling height and tweeter height, you might try measuring your reflections with REW and a mic. Or just try some room treatments on the ceiling and/or add a rug at the first reflection point on the floors in front of the ... |
