| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? While it is fun to talk about our hobby, there are tons of opinions out there but it is up to each individual to decide what works for them. No one would deny that "each individual to decide what works for them." The point of these discussions... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? So why the hell do people buy inefficient speakers? I raised basically this question. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/low-sensitivity-speakers-what-s-special-about-them | |

| Amp vs Preamp which is more important? IF the amp and speakers are decently matched AND if the amp is decent -- the preamp is more important. @ghdprentice put his finger on why: "It takes the really small signal and brings it up to the level the brute can handle it. The preamp is the ... | |
| Why are speaker stands so expensive?! I spent more than I should have on good stands because I wound up moving to tower speakers. About $700 on the stands. Oh well. | |
| David Lewis Audio--any customer experiences? @yogiboy Thanks. I'm in Denver but drive across the country to see family from time to time. This is why I asked Jeff J. at JA to give me a list of dealers. I could plan a road trip that way. But nope, no soap. State secret. Sigh. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps I should mention that I have 3 subs. | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghasley That would be nice. We can have a drink and toast to our troll-defying spells. (Begone, internet worms! Away, digital dreckmeisters!) | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghasley Props to you for not taking bait clothed in all caps. I mean, we're not 13 years old anymore, right? | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui So much depends on your system. I A/B’d a Schiit Bifrost 2/64 ($800) vs. a Holo Spring KTE ($3k) in my system. Same cables, everything. And while the Holo was better -- soundstage and presence, especially -- it was maybe a 3% difference. I make ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps @soix @sksos Thanks for chiming in. This dealer [I'll omit their name and place of business] said that he didn't think the Perspective2's were "a good choice for your large room." I asked why and told him that Jeff Joseph himself (in an email to... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) @curiousjim Thank you, Sir! @baylinor The RAALs are very good sounding tweeters to my ears, too. @strateahed Thanks for the kind words! Your comment on Herb Reichert rang a chord for me. He recently said in an interview that he's only given neg... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps A dealer I am in touch with told me that the Perspective 2's would be too small for my listening room, which is 26 x 15 x 8. I cannot see my way to the Pearls. What do others think about this comment by the dealer? I suspect they just don't have ... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) @baylinor Thanks, and I expect that if I move to a larger room, I’ll also consider a different scale of speaker. For now, this has been a good experience. @speedthrills A link to where? This is where this is published. Regarding length, I say r... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) @soix Thanks. The JA Profiles list for $7k, I think, for their dome tweeter and the Ascend towers with their dome tweeter is at $4.4k. They’re in the same ballpark but not at the same level. If one gets the RAAL tweeter, the Ascends are at $5.4k, ... |
