| Injecting one sub to Benchmark system… I was in this situation in about 2006 with a dac1 and a sub. The new models may be different but I thought back then that I really lost something by having the DAC output going to both an amplifier and a sub. I'd at least experiment with getting... | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? I bought a pair of Thiel Viewpoints off ebay for a few hundred bucks. I'm listening nearfield and it's sublime. | |
| Thiel Owners I recently got some viewpoints for a few hundred bucks off ebay. I'm enjoying them way beyond what a normal person should be allowed. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? At some point you make peace with your inner cranky old man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUgVgkrcqhk | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? I can confirm that the Snap AV sub is a good quality littlle sub. It's got good output down to 37hz, pretty much done by 30hz. For an 8" sub for $112 on ebay it's a steal. Gloss black box, good controls, I wonder if all custom install only bra... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Class D has high power and no audible distortion. Amplifier distortion is no longer a factor. High power class D amps more than make up for the difference in dynamic contrast between low and high efficiency speakers. High efficiency speakers ha... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Class D is going to make high sensitivity speakers obsolete. Amplification is a solved problem and the only thing left is to make it cheaper. The high end audio world has to a decent degree accepted that the Benchmark amp is essentially perfect.... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? When it comes to big vs little subs and one vs many, I don't care. I just want the best performance for the money. I already have a Velodyne dd18, Infinity Intermezzo 1.2, and the tiny PSB. One thing that I know is that it's impossible to get f... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Has anyone heard of or had experience with Snap AV? They are a custom install only brand that I had never heard of. I ran across some used subs on ebay for dirt cheap and they appear to be well-designed. They're sealed, and have phase knobs ins... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? I'm curious if anyone has tried having a multi-way sub array with several small subs throughout the room and one big one that only plays the lowest notes. If you give a big sub a gradual rolloff starting at 30 or 35 hz it's less likely to have ne... | |
| Thiel Owners @roxy54 it seems like you should have some sort of response. If you say nothing and wander off you'll be assumed slow. Is that what you want? | |
| Thiel Owners @roxy54 It's hyperbole but not kidding. It's my limited experience, I know it's not comprehensive. | |
| Thiel Owners You can't really appreciate this on other speakers. It's a real problem. This is so much better than whatever else it out there. It's so much better. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm once again listening to my <$1,000 Viewpoints and enjoying them beyond what seems right. So many people passed up this opportunity. What's the matter with you? | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? 100k or less, really? really? |
