| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers @jlr261 Still have the M3TM's and they get rotated in and out of one system with a pair of Nola KO's. Still have the original EX-M1 and it is in a second home paired with a pair of Fritz Carrera Be's. It was replaced in the system the M3's resid... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers @jlr261 I used the Kinki EX-M1 with the M3TM's for over a year and it is a great match and will give you the power you are looking for to go in your room. Price is still $2398 direct from manufacturer.https://www.kinki-studio.com/ex-m1 | |
| Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio. He's been beating this same dead horse on multiple forums for well over a year. | |
| Streamer recommendations Used Aries Femto can be found regularly between $7-900.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649624086-auralic-aries-with-lps/ | |
| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC On an iPad using the software slider is not that difficult on a iPhone it could be tricky. Since I use a preamp the slider stays at 100. Upscale still has the remotes for $5.00. | |
| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC The Aries G1 has the ability to program a universal remote of your choice to work with it. I bought a new remote from Upscale for the previous Aries Femto and programmed it but hardly ever use it. | |
| 1000.00 speakers There is a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sigs on Audiocircle for $799 and that would be your best bet if you can give them a little breathing room in the rear. | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? @hilde45 Take a look at the adjustable stands from Reference 3A. Galen Carol is a dealer and I am sure there are others. http://www.reference3a.com/stands.html | |
| Need preamp recommendation @riffwraith He's a member on the AudioShark forum and the gear was for sale there at one point. | |
| Partly passive preamp? Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE | |
| Looking for new speakers As your Luxman integrated has pre outs and main ins I would look at the Vandersteen Quatro CT. Same first order crossover concept as your Thiels with the addition of the built in subwoofers. But first as tomcic said check with the people on the Th... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45 I just finalized the deal this morning so I won't have them until later in the week but if the stands are built anything like my Timbernation rack being solid should be the least of your worries. My five shelf rack weighs over 120 lbs an... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45 The Salks look great. Jim did his usual impeccable cabinet job. With their size you are probably going to have to look at stands of 19" or 20" maximum like are recommended for the Harbeth C7 and 30.2. I just completed a deal earlier tod... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45 A couple of photo's of the SS6's would be a nice thing. Also check with Timbernation about custom speakers stand with the height and top plate dimensions to fit the Salk's. Also multiple finish choices. | |
| PS Audio BHK versus Herron VTSP-3A(ro2) If the Herron is SE all the way through and the Herron preamp provides 14 db gain then that explains the difference in level as the BHK in SE only provides 3 db gain so turn it up. Are you connecting the DS Sr. to the BHK balanced and the Herron ... |
