| What is this speaker doing right? I don’t have a CD player. Tidal or vinyl in my two systems only. | |
| What is this speaker doing right? Interesting mikapen! I don’t know anything about phase alignment. | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? I love my ART9. I like it more than my previous Dynavector that was pricer. If your preamp can handle it then it may be a fit. I use a Manley Chinook pre. The cart is superb at most any price. Soundstage, imaging, bass and clarity are top notch... | |
| What is this speaker doing right? Twoleafers I think that t is well said. The KEFs sound pristine and modern. I can not fault them. They are great speakers. It is just that I’m enjoying the body and charm of the Dentons. | |
| What is this speaker doing right? Well it’s the next day and I’m still enjoying the Dentons more. You are right that the tweeter is smooth. The speaker is also less fussy with placement. It’s very musical. While the KEF is more analytical and accurate, the Dentons are more enjoyab... | |
| Another amateur in need of advice How big is your room and how loud do you like to listen? I own the LS50s. They are superb. I had them in a small media room--10' x 15'--powered by a Creek 100A and they were dynamite. I have them in a large living room now (same integrated)--1... | |
| for Bill Evans fan This thread is 7 years old and I just read through it top to bottom. I think that shows I'm really enjoying the hobby--reading old stuff, looking for subjects of interest.Great topic guys. I have to vote Waltz for Debby. Wolfe's point about the... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp Ghosthouse, I ordered the Schitt to give it a run. If it's quiet and adds back tube flavor I may keep the Class D in winter operation too. I'm optimistic that it will sound great as folks seem to love it on forums. The engineering/design is stro... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp Thank you!!George that’s a great idea! I could spend little, keep both summer and winter systems and still have tubes on the line stage with the muscle of the NAD. Ghostbouse, I really appreciate your anecdotal advice. I think this route is a re... | |
| Speaker Dilemma--A Good One to Have but Confused Thank you everyone! I’ve been researching your re ommendatons. Each of you has added something helpful. The explanation on Focal’s signature sound versus PSBs Is enlightening. When I get to work, I’m going to list my equipment and options for the... | |
| Speaker Dilemma--A Good One to Have but Confused Soix, That's a fair point. But it is, however, hard to answer. Maybe I can give you my history--in the form of speakers--and it may shed light. I really can't talk in audiophile terms that well. When I was young, I had inherited a pair of my dad... | |
| Speaker Dilemma--A Good One to Have but Confused All great advice. I forgot abut Spendor. The D7 is well revered. I owned a pair of MA 20 years ago. I loved them and their customer service was perfect. I have never heard Focal floorstanders. I know they are loved by many. Great tip tip in think... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I moved houses and now have a dedicated listening room. I got stuck in analysis paralysis and haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet. Usually I move more decisively. I think all the house projects are slowing me down too. Houses are expensive! | |
| Two small RELs or One Larger Sub Thank you Brad! That article makes me want to start with one and see how it goes. | |
| Two small RELs or One Larger Sub Thanks for the responses! It seems two two smaller or mid sized might be a good bet. I have a small Sumiko sub in another system—I think it’s an REL clone. It’s so musical. I’m definitely going to stay in the REL family because I like their ph... |
