| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! As previously mentioned, several brands like JBL, Klipsch & Altec ( in the past) offer both home & pro “PA” speakers which are very sensitive, dynamic & can play loudly while still sounding quite good without straining. Often the diffe... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? I owned Avantgarde Uno’s in 2002 & then upgrade to the Duo’s in 2004 ( or so). Their macro & micro dynamics were so much better than anything I had ever heard in anything close to their price ranges. They sounded excellent at any volume l... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice +1.5 for Volti Rivals! (. 5 for the Razz). I really enjoy mine! Of course, it’s a matter of taste. If you value the utmost in hyper detailed, bat worthy high frequency extension & a highly mirror, polished statuesque pieces of furniture, then ... | |
| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I don’t think any of that equipment will be damaged in any way. I’ve left some good quality equipment in an I heated storage unit w/ no issues at all; speakers, turntable, electronics. It’s rapid changes in temperature that can be harmful, not slo... | |
| Quality of Sirius XM Sirius XM rolls off the high end substantially & overall sounds terrible in even a decent system. A Good FM signal can be much better. | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti Look fine to me & in proportion with the room. Maybe put some good quality fake plants on them which you can remove when listening? Show your wife the the next system pic of the 2024 system by dj & ask her it that would be acceptable? I ... | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated Some very nice recommendations mentioned & here’s another one: Rogers High Fidelity. They’re pricey new around $15-$16K but they have two of their big amps used direct from the factory w/ full lifetime warranties. They’re very well built w/ hi... | |
| How good is good enough? We all know you can get a surprisingly musical sounding system for a few thousand dollars, a really nice set up for $10K, $20K, 30K etc & if chosen correctly, amazing sounding systems for whatever you want to spend w/ not much limit. Doesn... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Mitch2 - see my earlier comment. I was probably lax on updating my Innuos Zenith but when customer support was needed to complete the task, they were right on it!! | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Another thumbs up for Innuos! I’ve had my Zenith Mark III for 2.years & it’s excellent as is their Sense app. I recently tried to do a suggested update & something happened & it froze x& wouldn’t work at all. I emailed their tech s... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity On my experience, the size of the room & the volume you like to listen at have a huge impact on how much power you need for your speakers as well as their sensitivity. If you think about, the word “volume” applies both to the amount of db a sp... | |
| There is none out there...... I second the answer from Baylinor ! My Innuos Zenith Mark III sounds excellent, built very well, great customer service & great app to control it all. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Like many year, I’ve owned & enjoyed many different speakers over a long period of time. Like a few others here, I’m now really enjoying the Volti Audio Rivals. They effortlessly sound more like live music than any other speaker I can afford &... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? I also suggest you try the Volti Audio Rivals w/ your set up. I owned & enjoyed Avantgardes ( first Unos & then Duos) w/ Art Audio amps for several years & they’re very good in many ways although quite directional, didn't image that we... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. I’ve had mostly good tube equipment over many years w/ some good solid state mixed in between & what I’ve noticed generally is that tube electronics do a better job of giving each instrument or vocal more space & air around it creating a b... |
