| Have You Tried One Schiit Aegir with LRS I was very happy with Vidar, Freya S and Saga+, and LRS in a room a little smaller than yours...many are concerned with bridged amps at 4 ohms as Schiit gives 4 ohm specs only for single amp...but ultimately felt I needed/wanted more power... | |
| Speakers matching Pas INT 60 The Pass is more powerful than the name suggests and your room is relatively small, so power not a concern, though not familiar with those speakers...though very many speakers would be a great match with your Pass... | |
| Analyzing DACs hard to find a good DAC where the preamp section sounds as good as a separate dedicated preamp...though certainly not all agree...even very scientific Benchmark sells a separate pre that is way better then their DAC's internal volume control... | |
| Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind it is an interesting concept...sometimes we want a "different" sound as all gear has it's own sound..been thinking of selling my Dali Epicon 8 speakers...great speakers, but I've had them 7-8 years, and Dali main speakers for 12 or more...no right... | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? My UPS Store has always done the paperwork, and provided quick refund, on the few damaged items, out of many dozens I have shipped... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage sometimes an Odyssey Khartago Extreme comes along... | |
| If someone handed you this system, what would you change? agree the speakers are way better than your other gear... | |
| Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind I'd rather look at the Salk's and agree they are probably better suited for your small room...I have Salk and Totem in the house, both are terrific, but not the models you are looking at... | |
| I want more bass… agree with powered subs, probably 2 with those speakers...most speakers bass rating is at inches from speaker at low volume, not full volume at listening position... | |
| For the first time... I always felt Oppo was highly over rated as a CD player...I’m long time owner of 105 and 103 | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? my electrician audiophile friend remains in amazement over the difference cables make, even after 20 years of experiencing it, as it technically makes no sense to him...fortunately for him he ultimately decides by listening not reading... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Cerious also makes great, modest cost cables, with return privileges. Since you can listen and try for free, ignore those who say cables are irrelevant, simply decide for yourself, you'll find no agreement here... | |
| Absolute Sound's "Reviews" most of the two paragraph reviews are excerpts from the longer review in the actual magazine... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) though Ric's EVS upgrades are awesome... | |
| 13.2, 5.1 and so on. "the best seat in the house" I have found 5.1 can sound great for music, but only if the equipment is perfectly matched, and everything is perfectly set up and adjusted...otherwise it sounds terrible...whereas movies it's easy to get good sound, maybe hard to get great sound.... |
