| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? I hear you. Thanks! I guess I was also wanting to try a little engagement with folks in the group. There are very few people I know who are into audio, it's good to try a few interactions. | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? @asvjerry I'm getting good answers here and realizing a thick skin may be necessary. I'm a college professor, of philosophy. I am not at a highly selective school and many are first generation college students. Every semester faculty at my school ... | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? Thanks, all. That definitely helps. | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? Thanks for your answer. My general comment about what folks have said so far is that I understand (of course) the concept of what "breaking in" means -- and the phenomenological characteristics associated with shoes, shirts, even the way a lawn mo... | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? Sorry to ask a question that’s been asked so many times. If it were possible, I’d just delete this question and try to come up with something more novel. But I suppose people can just skip answering it. Or give | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation I’m in the Denver area with a small room. I was looking for speakers under $2k, and especially wanted to audition some.I have gone to a number of dealers in our area — Crescendo, ListenUp, Soundings, Gold Sound, QAV. Gold Sound was a nice place to... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? No one has mentioned "Audience The One V3 Speakers" or "ClairAudient". These are speakers near me in Colorado. Any views about these for nearfield listening? https://www.tweekgeek.com/audiophile-speakers/ | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @mesch Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go over to Computer Audio to continue that line of questioning. It's good to stay focused on the theme of one's own original post. Have a great day. -- Dave | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @twoleftears Budget ceiling: I'd say $1700 or so, max. As for the Carbons, given that I'm just seeking something smaller for my office, the size of the speaker seems a bit much -- and the price is now a bit high. I started out musing about the Dyn... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @soix -- thanks for pointing me at usaudiomart. I assume there are some guarantees about what's purchased there? Or is it like Craig's list -- caveat emptor?@holomech I believe I can trial some of the smaller speakers but it's true this should be ... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @helomach: Which room? That's a good question. I suppose I'm just working on the smaller room setup for now. They will be close to a wall.I think the 40s are a no-go for now — but presumably, they could always emerge later. This fact returns me to... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? Thanks, Verdant, for your reply. What I'm looking for in terms of sound is clarity and precision in midrange with adequate and accurate punch in bass. It's ok for it not to rattle the furniture, I just want to be convinced that a jazz upright bass... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? Good to hear about the Adcom. Perhaps I just need to consider lesser speakers for now (for my office) and then if I get more demanding speakers I can up the game on the power. (Totem speakers are small...hmmm.)Sources. Sigh. I used to have a Thore... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? I did and he responded already, though bookshelves are hard to find.I think the advice I have seen here is already sinking in — I need to rethink power and speakers, both. Obviously, power is another thread altogether and I know I can just search ... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? Everest, My main speakers are older AR 48s and small, also old, Pinnacle PN5+. I’ve got old stuff, clearly, and they need to be refreshed. They sound decent, but...maybe it’s just a midlife thing... ;-) |
