| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation @dotchaos,Was going to reply, and your description of what you listen spurred me on. Firstly, I was pretty much committed to buying a pair of Harbeth 30.1’s, especially after a week-long home audition. I then accepted an invitation to another au... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Live coverage of the House Judiciary Committee hearings on NPR - incredible imaging!!!! | |
| Full Range comparison I have no knowledge of the brands you mention, but do have first hand experience with another maker of full range speakers. You owe it to yourself to look at Omega Speaker Systems, designed and hand-built in Connecticut. https://omegaloudspeak... | |
| Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp A second vote for Omega! | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem To the OP: Regarding the unlistenable highs, suggest trying the Schiit Loki ( https://www.schiit.com/products/loki). Only $150 (probably way less than any cable suggestions you'll get), and they have a 15-day return policy (minus 15% restock fe... | |
| How do I smooth out violins? I second rok2id4's suggestion about tracking down some good string recordings. But before you replace any equipment as so many have suggested, try the Schiit Loki: https://www.schiit.com/products/loki Only $149, with a 15 day free trial and fu... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim, thanks for your response. This makes sense. Looking forward to pursuing this dba! The positioning and setting crossovers, phases, and volume will be the ultimate task and key to success. | |

| Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why? Yes + for the Celestion SL6 and especially the Spica TC-50. | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 1+ on Unison! | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Which Alta did you hear? Was going to go this morning but the 5+ inches of snow kept me home☹️ | |
| Tube info Here is another link with some great info on the different 12au7 tube types and manufacturers, and on how each brand sounds.http://www.audiotubes.com/12au7.htm | |
| Best bookshelf speakers BTW. I only have experience with the Omega Super Alnico Monitor, so my comments only apply to that speaker. My Omega's are along the narrow wall of a 17x25x9 ft room which is open on the side and opposite wall. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers I think folks who have not heard well designed single driver speakers say that. Not sure what you consider complex music. I listen to a wide variety of music, including jazz (small groups, not Big Band), Americana, alt and classic rock, the full... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers Given the range of costs of the speakers you mention and especially your preferences:" Balanced and revealing with a hint of warmth. Midrange most important to get right over highs and lowsTimbre is super important - I listen mostly to acoustic ... |
