| Started with $1k speakers … what now? @immatthewj , Yes, as of 2023/ 2024, guys like Andrew Jones, Danny Ritchie, etc have offered such insanely great sound at around the 1k price bracket that it takes a whole lot more of an exponential increase in price to beat such things (obtain a... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? For me, Andrew Jones new $3700 and $3000 speakers are way better than his or the OP’s $1000 speaker.. @jl35 , are you referring to the Sourcepoint speakers by Andrew Jones? | |
| Cary vs Raven I say this based on experience. I purchased a pair of Joseph Audio Perspectives and learned I probably can’t afford the electronics to fully understand how good the speakers are. @testrun , this is not a rhetorical question or a question in... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? Otherwise, you are not getting anywhere w.r.t to a very discernible improvement on a 5k budget. @deep_333 , just to clarify (but not to start an argument) you are saying that if OP wants a significent sonic improvement over is current 1k speak... | |
| Cary vs Raven FWIW, I have a couple of Cary pieces I bought used and have had good customer support convos even though the used equipment isn't covered under any warranty. @rjsully0467 , you've had better luck than I have. Do you remember who you spoke to?... | |
| Cary vs Raven @jrcotner , I probably do everything backwards myself. About 30 years ago I had a pair of pretty cheap NHT speakers (that I actually liked) and then I bought my first tube amp to pair them with and I liked them (the speakers) even more. Then I ... | |

| Why do we demand so much from our systems? Another mind blowing thought provoking topic by @emergingsoul . | |
| The Ayre CD? @coralkong and @lalitk thank you!! | |
| Dc voltage sent to my speakers Thanks, @atmasphere , I guess I am going a few extra miles then. I will worry no longer. Thanks again. | |
| Dc voltage sent to my speakers So if the preamp is turned on after the amp is already on, the amp is in danger! That is why the common protocol is the preamp of any system (tube or solid state) is always turned on first and allowed to stabilize prior to powering up the amp! It... | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? @gjohns , the more booze the more toe-in? Or vice versa? | |
| Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics? Thanks, @scottok , I will check that out. MD does sell them, and MD does have a 60 day audition period, but I'd like to have an idea that a speaker is going to do what I want it to first, as I don't want to be shipping speakers back to the selle... | |
| Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics? Classic 1970's sound, if you listen to 70's rock they will shine Thanks, @hiend2 , it's not to often I go that far back in the archives. I am thinking that these, also, may not be what I am looking for. |
