| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up I meant to say KT150's originally and changed to KT120's really tamed down the extension and softened things a bit. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @tablejockey definitely very true and honest. Very strong upgrade, but not groundbreaking. Can it honestly be groundbreaking from each of those levels though? There was definitely some sharpness at first, but the Sopra's did settle down. Detail is... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up I have never actually heard a "typical" hifi demo disc. I've been to a dealer out here that asked really odd/off-putting questions about what I'm looking for. So I've decided to go on my journey on my own without the local dealer. Would rather do ... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @karl_desch I definitely know what you meant. I for once got to call alternative music high fidelity so I just wanted to capitalize on the situation! I should probably try familiar music from here on out. I have Rocket 88 on loan right now and the... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @karl_desch have you heard the analog mastering pressing? It's pretty damn hifi if you ask me! I upgraded to Audioquest Robin Hood Zero so we'll see how they do when they get here. I've been experimenting with less whiskey and toe in and I think I... | |
| Help with turntable setup? I run a concept Wood and set-up really is done at the factory/dealer. I would download the RPM speed app to double check the speed for both 33/45. Also I use the acrylic vta/azimuth block which can be had for $10 just to learn more about cartridge... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @mmcelyea yeah I'm running them off of the 4 ohm tap. I ran the 1028's at 4 ohms as well. Well it may be amp season next....and I was just about to upgrade my Audioquest cables again... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @tastypeter nailed it on the head. It was a slight panic of "wow I just spent all this money and this is what it nets?" Settling in for the next few weeks to get them comfortable and dialed in. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @macct more time is underway. I've moved the 1028's to a different room to ease the comparison thoughts. I'll give it a few weeks before I revisit. The upper range and bass range aren't even comparable to the 1028's. Maybe more honest. The 1028's ... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @prof Focal Electra 1028. The previous generation of the Kanta 2's. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @twoleftears @mapman greet advice. I guess patience is a virtue. Change is not welcomed I guess, but I guess with change there come experiences I may be missing by reflecting of what I had versus what I have. Interesting. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up The Sopra's definitely bring a different attribute and some of it is very nice. Imagining and depth of sound is stellar. Bass has more depth and chestiness. But man, the treble can be almost shouty at times. That's one of my biggest concerns. Also... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers @desktopguy you 100% nailed this. Buying speakers drunk or sober, the result is the same and the build up is the same. @nitewulf Brimstone is a fun whiskey ride. I have a bottle that I pull out when I want to feel like I'm sitting next to a fire w... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers @mrklas in my opinion you can't go wrong with anything Balcones. I've never been drawn to any whiskey as much as I am with their stuff. Baby Blue is amazing. Brimstone is fun like drinking campfire smoke. Rye 100 is dangerously fantastic. They are... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers @ejr1953 this will be my end all be all speakers. Even if they aren't in an idea room for a few years until the house hunting starts. |
