| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue +1 @simao, @tylermunns brought up female artists, the OP mentioned vocalists. | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. Fyne Audio would work for you. I’ve not owned them but have auditioned them and they have all the attributes you are looking for. They are very efficient as well at something like 92db @8ohms. $4k might be difficult to find, maybe used, but they a... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @llg98ljk you should be ashamed for having preferences! | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @tylermunns i hear what you’re saying I just don’t think it applies here. OP is not being sexist. Saying that you like female vocalists is not in the same context as your examples. It’s perfectly valid to say I like vocalists, particularly fema... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @tylermunns not sure how any of the OPs opinions are sexist. Differentiating male and female vocals is not sexist. The average vocal range of the two is different. Noting the difference is not the same as saying men sing better than women. And... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I don’t get Blue either and I love Joni Mitchell. For the Roses, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira and Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter are all outstanding and get a lot of play on my system. Maybe I need to revisit Blue, but it’s... | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I’d agree with @jhnnrrs about the equalizer you have in the chain. I’m not sure why you would need it given you have an 8 band in the preamp. Pull that thing out and get yourself a nice external DAC. Not sure how much of your listening is digit... | |
| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh Didn’t he buy the 901 not realizing it was a biamp design but didnt have biampable speakers? | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? Big fan of Metallica, but mostly the first five albums. I have a couple of tracks from Master of Puppets on a playlist that I have rolling most of the time. I just got done listening to a bit of the Black album. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume +1 @soix I was thinking the same thing about Joseph Audio Pulsar. I would recommend taking a look at Fritz speakers as well, tremendous bang for the buck. I think both of those would give you exactly what you are looking for, particularly with th... | |
| Overkill for small room There are many great integrated amps out there. You don’t need to do separates, particularly if that is cost prohibitive. | |
| Overkill for small room Good advice about room treatment. I would suggest getting a mic and using something like REW to measure your room before treating it, and measure after treatment installation. Or you could use dsp or Dirac or some other digital room correction. ... | |
| Overkill for small room Here is a good explanation of damping factor https://us.kef.com/blogs/news/damping-factor-explained#:~:text=Damping%20factor%20is%20a%20specification,quick%20tutorial%20is%20in%20order. It is a combination of the amp and speaker and it applies r... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both but listen to Tidal more often. I don’t hear a difference between the two but honestly I haven’t done a critical listening session to compare them. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Second sub was the first thing that popped into my head. Then I read the responses and saw that I was not the only one. I added two subs to my setup and it added something really special to the soundstage and imaging. I don’t know if you can pu... |
