| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I have heard all of those. Cost no object I like the Wilson’s the best but I think they are a poor buy these days at their current price. Lots of stuff almost as good or technically better for less but Wilson’s are fun (extra bass) while being acc... | |
| Klipsch rp-8000f vs Klipsch rf-7iii, opinions ? These guys did a video on it. | |
| New or used speakers Yes used or demos. I have had good luck buying demos for my last two speakers. Saved about 40% on 99% new speakers. I think the key or buying used/demos is having 3 or 4 speakers you would be happy with abs jumping on them when they come up lo... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer This thread is hilarious! Two things I have learned reading this threat while listening to my McIntosh MC462…. “Buy Mac don’t look back” and “denafrips won’t get you laid”, wise words lol! | |
| KEF Blade 2 Measurements looks good. Dispersion is a little narrow but even. | |
| Help me solve another speaker hum thread :) Ok interesting, sounds like an amp issue. One thing is the electrical buzz you hear when you put your ear to the amp is normal for McIntosh. They all have a bit of buzz in the box (no idea what it is). Hopefully you get it sorted. Those are co... | |
| Help me solve another speaker hum thread :) I have found this type of hum is often in the power supply. Do you have another amp to try? When my subs are connected between my pre-amp and amp (internal highpass) I get a faint 60hz buzz. I found no work around and will replace the subs at s... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina for Large Room? I think they will be fine. The Sabrina needs boundary reinforcement to get low bass the the 1’ off the back wall might even help. 24” (from the driver) would be better and enough imo. in my second system I have a pair of Thiel 2.4s (same size ... | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT I would take the Sabrina over the Sonus Faber. I have heard the Sabrina and the Nova 3. The bass went deeper and had more texted/impact on the Sabrina and I put a lot of value on bass. The highs are about the same. The mids are a little different.... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Yes use the bypass option to a preamp or DAC. Pricy home theater processors are still just ok (not great) and get outdated real quick. Honestly I would try some budget ones first. Schitt or Benchmark might surprise you. | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide The amp is fine honestly to get you going and I would start by adding a two channel preamp. One with a home theater bypass would be simplest. If it does not have one you can just set the volume the same every time (12:00,3:00 etc) and use one of t... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Good to hear and good choice. I love the nova III and the V will be great. | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Well I would take the better speaker every time. yes you can connect most subs to both a two channel preamp and receiver at the same time. It is important to have the inputs sum. If they don’t it will not work so read your manual or give them ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide -Well both will be much better than the B&W CDM 9NT so no worries there but if you have the means always buy the better speaker. Futuras Is an endgame speaker IMO -the first question I have is how do you use your subs? Do you highpass (cut... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. Becoming lol. It have been for 10 years. One dealer has had the same pair of Wilson Sophia 3s (might I add spelled wrong) listed on here for at least 5 years. It has to be fraud. Paying for the same listing and never selling them or lowering the p... |
