| 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 ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I have driven the Carrera's with both the 30 wpc EL-84 based Music Reference RM-10 and the 40 wpc EL-34 based Mystere PA-11 with no problem with frequencies at either end of the spectrum. Both amps were fronted by the Supratek Chardonnay so a sim... | |
| PS Audio BHK owners There is nothing wrong with your preamp. If the Carver is SE you are only getting 3 db gain from the BHK plus the efficiency ratings posted by speaker companies are generally fantasy’s and that is proven when JA actually tests them. Depending on t... | |
| PS Audio BHK owners Depends on the input sensitivity of the Carver and whether you are using SE or XLR connections plus the sensitivity of your speakers. The wpc of the amp is irrelevant. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45 I don't think changing from the long wall to the short wall will do anything for tower speakers either especially if they are over the height of the average bookshelf and stand needed for proper ear level. It should however make the room... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45 Would it not be worth trying, though some work, just swapping the location of the gear/couch and the bed? Don't know often you actually have stay over house guest as opposed to how often you use your system but I don't it is in any way c... | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? I ordered an EX-M7 this morning so I will see if I agree with Srajen on that model too over the next couple of weeks. I've used my M1 and M1+ with multiple different speakers from the Fritz Carrera Be to the Verity Otello to the Spatial Audio M3TM... | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? I have owned one of the original EX-M1's with the gain switch for almost two years and about two months ago acquired one of the new 2020 versions of the M1+ and am very happy with both in two different systems. Am seriously considering buying one ... | |
| speakers for a large room Spatial Audio X-3 at $8500. Powered integrated bass drivers remove the need for subs. https://www.spatialaudio.us/modal/x3 | |
| Supratek Owners Thread The CBS/Hytron 5692 is a pretty good reasonably neutral tube. I roll a pair through the Chardonnay periodically. |
