| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers For myself, the only potential “advantage” of a small stand mounted speaker without full bass extension ability can be their ability for ultra detail & disappearing act ( often due to potentially less cabinet resonance s) which many hold in ve... | |
| Scam Alert Don’t even open emails or click on anything in ones you know are BS. Highlight the sender to see where it came from first & 9 /10 of the time, it will be some crazy address so you know it’s a scam., Trash it immediately. Opening up unknown li... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I went to a Rogers High Fidelity Tubed Integrated Amp, model EFH 200 Mark II. Without a direct comparison in the same system & room, there’s really no way to tell how just how really good it is but it’s REALLY good! Lots of power, best bass I’... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... That may be so but just because a speaker can produce quite low frequency tones doesn't necessarily mean it can produce realistic bass notes from a bass guitar, bass drum, kettle drum etc in a a tight, dynamic fashion at any decent volume in any ... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... Smaller two way speakers in a small room may net good bass response at moderate volumes. I do not see how it’s possible in larger rooms or at louder volumes without either big woofers or multiple medium sized ones. I doubt anyone has ever heard t... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Dies anyone have any experience with their two newer pieces of “Schiit”, the equalizers? I was thinking of trying one to help sort out a mid bass hump I have in my living room before I start putting any sound absorption devices in that my wife wou... | |
| American Made Audio Products Jim5559 - There may be some equivalent quality items made in Europe & Canada but better? Doubtful. Here's just a few brands that are amongst the very best available in their respective price ranges & American made: Magico, YG Acoustics, R... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... Bose speakers are great for the true quality speaker companies who now offer inexpensive excellent sounding products & make them look & sound like what they are - mass marketed junk. Elac, PSB, Paradigm, Polk & many others all make gre... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. A watch keeps time. A Rolex is a piece of jewelry that also keeps time. Some folks like to wear jewelry, some like to look at appreciate it & some do both. You can buy a decent watch that keeps better time than a Rolex for under $100 & ... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? From what I’ve read, you might give a listen to the new KLH Five or their new 2 way version. Probably pretty warm sounding & also have better bass than any of the other speakers mentioned in this discussion if that’s a feature important to you. | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system I did just what Carlsbad described & it’s works well. I have an Anthem 7 channel receiver & got a good tubed integrated amp & even new better main speakers. Sounds great watching movies ( everything on) or w/ 2 channel music , just ma... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Great topic. I too agree it can take a long time to really appreciate & understand what a certain component is doing or how it sounds. Often, once you get used to that new sound, it becomes our new standard & how we think it "should"sound.... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile As good & thorough & informative as many Stereophile reviews & ratings can be, they have their shortcomings. John Atkinson seems to be heavily steered towards solid state electronics because they almost always test better or at least c... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… If long term reliability is a priority, I would stay clear of NAD. Excellent engineering & sound quality for the $ but build quality lacking. Had a preamp & their best surround sound receiver fail just after the warranties expired. Receive... | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? You didn’t mention what volume you enjoy but in a big room, you probably need that big power. At more moderate levels, You might try a good tube amp & see if you like the sound. It should be very different, more air, more body, richer tone if ... |
