| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? I don't think I will ever part with my Emotive Audio Epifania preamp and Vita amps. I have owned them for over 15 years now (serial #2). Over the years some changes have been made. The original caps have been replaced with VH Audio copper teflon c... | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. In my last house I used ASC tube traps. When I moved and built my current room I went with Real Traps. Both rooms are located in the basement and are basically the same size. I was able to try both in my current room and sold the ASC traps. The so... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Bache Audio in Brooklyn is about as small and boutique as you can get. Greg Belman is a one man operation who is very dedicated to his designs and his customers. I have owned speakers from Thiel, Verity, ProAc, Coincident, Rethm and a few others, ... | |
| Manufacturers To bad you didn’t demo any Bache speakers before getting the Harbeths. I demoed the M30.2’s twice before getting the Bache Audio Tribeca’s. | |
| Bache- Tribeca- 001- Upgraded- THE BEST (w/ Wolf & Exogal) I love my Tribeca’s with the Eton woofers. Last week I decided to put my Quad ESLs back in the system and I finally got to listen last night. For me it’s no contest. As wonderful as the Quads sound, I enjoy my Bache speakers much more. A beautiful... | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Take a trip to Brooklyn and check out Bache Audio. I have the latest version of the Tribeca’s with the Eton woofers.

| Speakers that are a great value! @hilde45Greg Belman from Bache Audio is a very talented designer. English is his second language but his knowledge of speaker design is what counts. I've heard his speakers at shows and always came away impressed but it wasn't until the NYC '19 s... | |
| Speakers that are a great value! Bache Audio. My Tribeca’s cost me slightly less than my Audio Physic Tempo Plus speakers and they are far better in terms of coherency, holographic presentation, and that they sound wonderful with all genres. I demoed speakers costing twice as muc... | |
| Suggestions to match a pair of speakers to Pass Labs XA25? I had both a Pass XA25 and a First Watt SIT-3. The XA25 was a great match for my Bache Audio Tribeca’s. Very open and holographic and balanced from top to bottom. Not bright at all. With the Eton woofers the speaker is a 4 ohm load and 93db sensit... | |
| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... I replaced my Quad 57’s with Bache Audio Tribeca speakers and couldn’t be happier. Those are above your budget but I believe they are going to introduce a new smaller tower. My Tribeca’s have a wide open sound that’s coherent and holographic and j... | |
| RIP Art Dudley Very sad. Art was my favorite writer. He will be missed. | |
| I sure miss my Quad ‘57s! My Emotive Audio Vitas drove my Quad 57’s for 15 years without any issues. But I have also moved on the other speakers and right now find my Bache Tribeca speakers to be more satisfying. Maybe I should connect my Quads again during this lockdown. | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. Not boomy at all. The speakers started with the Dayton woofers and it was very good. But the Eton Symphony II woofers are fantastic. I don’t need a subwoofer. |
