| Used audio market appears to be collapsing It is for fun. I usually use gear for at least a decade then I give it away to somebody who is starting out. The market sites show you what's ending up on the secondary market and what is chronically absent. | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? I bought a Panasonic SA XR 50 with an Energy Star sticker on it for my transition to class D. Not a reference piece but it can do 5.1 signals and it never gets hot. Now I run B&O Ice Modules in two sizes: Red Dragon M500 monoblocks; Wyred4Soun... | |
| Class d amplification Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 R are 1000 watt Ice Modules with nice power supplies and proprietary input boards. 3200 USD. Head room for your Blades. Gear depreciates precipitously so buy low to insulate yourself. | |

| Chinese DAC's There are talented engineers around the world so I wouldn't use nationality as a criterion, except where the country has very high labor costs reflected in the price. Some producers may use counterfeit parts especially in the crossover. Caveat emp... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area My Yamaha NS-5000's have one 12 inch woofer each. You have to look carefully to see them move. It's a 6 ohm driver with a 3.5 pound woofer coil, which I think is key to its incredible bass texture and detail down to 26hz. I rarely hear my subwoofe... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Get the laminate covered with area rugs. And break them in. | |
| Repair for speaker cabinet Color matched wax. Damage isn't that bad. | |
| Is this a new trend? Most reviewers have small rooms hence they test small speakers. | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Powerlines are buried in my neighborhood so I do not worry about it. My system is on Furman power strips. | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? Solid information from all. Thank you! In non bookshelf I am also considering the Zu Druid 6. Anybody know that one? |
