| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions Krell stuff still sounds amazing!!! XD is the real deal!! Now don't know if it is as good as a FPB 400CX or a KSA 80. Look around though a lot of manufacturers that have had their designer leave(Krell, Mark levinson) or a change in design philosop... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The hardness and shrill of digital streaming made my ears bleed. Had to drop the needle on the VPI and crank up MOTHER from PINK FLOYD THE WALL. | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow David Wilson sure would disagree. | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow Richard Vandersteen sure would disagree. | |
| Mark Levinson 432 vs 532 vs 532H The good deal Levinson amps are the 400 series which everyone bitched and complained that they used proceed parts. Good sounding amps that stack up well to a 532H and you can get a 431 for under 2 grand. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact The Acoustat 2 plus 2's were electrostatics that could ROCK!!! Although I heard some Martin Logan 13a's with REL subs blow me away. Couldn't believe how loud they played with low distortion and composure and quality!!! But I dont have 20 grams for... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact The Acoustat 2 plus 2's were the best speaker I ever owned. I was a dynamic speaker guy before that. I owned Vandersteen 4a's, B & W 801's, but then I bought a used pair of Acoustats 2 plus 2's they were probably 10 to 15 years old when I bou... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact I have a small room 11 by 13. Have owned Vandersteen 2Ci's and 4a's. Like Vandersteens but am hearing all this buzz about these Tektons. I have owned Acoustat 2 plus 2 and like electrostatic and planars so Martin Logan Esl and Maggie 1.7i are a co... | |
| BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE Martin logan electromotion Esl, Vandersteen 2ce, Magnapan 1.7i with REL 5i sub or any sonus faber, Monitor Audio, B&W, KEF, Paradigm. Dont know how Focal and Dynaudio sound at 2500 but look for them too. | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 Either go panel ( Martin Logan, Magnapan) or Vandersteen, Aerial, B&W, Tekton, KEF, Monitor Audio, Sonus Faber. Lol. The point is it's all good. Pick what YOUR ear likes. | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 Used pair of Martin logan impression 11a's. Talk about a HUGE soundstage and more air than a hot air balloon. Or new pair of Martin Logan Classic Esl 9. No dynamic driver can come close to the resolution and low distortion electrostatic speakers... | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming For myself personally I have heard high end CD players from today and my LINN IKEMI from 20 years ago surpass the sound of streaming. Even implementing a high end DAC there is something lost in the transfer. Hi resolution streaming on the other h... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? Just blew a grand on an old LINN IKEMI cd player. Sounds better than streaming with the 5k dollar DAC I have. You need a have a state of the art DAC to surpass old reference cd players. So buying an old cd player is not a waste right now. Plus it... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I've always thought sealed sounded better as well. I have heard some Wilson speakers and they use ports. I hear the ports at louder volume levels which isn't a good thing. When I think of potted designs I think of a loudspeaker traiding quality s... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? Gentlemen we have a winner!!!! An amp that retails for 6 figures? In an apartment? You are a true "goner". I am envious. |
