| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @mapman Fair enough. I misunderstood your post! Reading for comprehension escapes me sometimes. | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @mapman Where would Monet have ended up if resolution and detail were his goal rather than abstract impressions? Early Manet. And if you prefer Realism, or something other than Impressionism, Monet wouldn’t be your guy. This isn’t really a ... | |
| Integrated Question I’ve never owned or heard any Totem speakers but some internet sleuthing seems to show that, according to the manufacturer, the speakers have a minimum impedance of 6 ohms. That doesn’t seem to be a hard speaker to drive. The trouble shooting g... | |

| Costliest Brainfart @ghdprentice I had my concerns about it but I suppose was arrogant enough to believe it wouldn't happen. The roof rack came off after that. I transported the new one in the back of my hatchback till I bought a tow hitch mounted carrier. It's ... | |

| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please I forgot to mention I realize you are using a tube amp but your 75w is plenty of juice. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please +1 for calling Fritz. I have the Rev7 SE and I can’t say enough good things about them. My room is a bit smaller than yours and the Fritzs sound amazing to my ears. All his speakers have a smooth impedance curve, no wild swings or deep dips. Mi... | |

| High end speakers at low volume +1 on Fyne | |
| Fritz Speakers I have the Fritz Rev 7 SE and they sound excellent at low volume. I usually listen at 40-70 db depending on the hour of the day. They disappear regardless of volume and have outstanding soundstage and imaging as well. They are a bit laid back, ... |
