| Really need some help finding a full range speaker I could not believe what my single REL 328 sub did with any speaker I paired it with. Also, I saw some nice Totem Element Earths on sale at Echo hifi which looked great. If you look at The Music Room, you'll see quite a few great ideas, including ... | |
| What are the most used terms that say the least in the "High-End"? Scrumptious. | |
| speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks I've heard very good things about Martin Logan Motion XL 60s. Supposed to be quite easy to drive with tubes. | |
| GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936? Both the OP's speakers are of interest to me, too.If the OP or others would care to contrast these similar candidates, I'd be curious:Evoke 30'sRevel Performa3 F208 ML Motion XT 60 Paradigm PrestigeTannoy Revolution XT 8F-DW | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @ebm said:If a dealers treats you badly MOVE ON!!Yes, this makes sense. Maybe this is easy for you, but it’s not that simple for many people. In an age of declining B&M stores, really helps to audition things, and there are not many places to ... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? I wish it was just the salesperson. | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @big_greg I had a thread once asking about good shops to buy used and someone mentioned Echo Audio. I immediately bookmarked them and surf them all the time. Some of the deals they have there are *unreal* and correspondence has been great. Everyon... | |
| Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options @aric Wow, thanks so much for that explanation. That would totally put my mind at ease about the number of tubes issue. If I had not made a choice on my amps already, I'd be ringing your phone! | |
| Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options Aric Audio looks really excellent to my eye. Question for the tube people here -- my tube preamp has two 12AX7 tubes. These Arics have many more tubes. Can you tell me why someone might prefer a preamp with two vs. more than two tubes? If the OP i... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @jerbeast said: I've been lucky enough through patience and being a thrifty shopper (ok, cheap m*f*), to put together a decent system, and try to improve it as I can. I think that makes you a true audiophile — because you love sound/music enough t... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @fdroadrunner I love your story. Especially in the age of the internet, you can never know the difference between a "local" and "regular." It makes sense this happened in Omaha, where I’d expect people to be nicer than they might be in, say, New Y... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @fuzztone I only used the phrase "your dealer" in a weak sense — in the sense that they are local, carry gear of interest, not a lot of alternatives for try out. I’ve lived places where we said "our supermarket" because it was one of the only alte... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @gs5556 they know I’m interested because I’ve auditioned their speakers before AND I bought other gear. But your point is well taken and it makes sense. On the other hand, why would it be a waste of time to try? Isn’t that what “sales” is all abou... |
