| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors http://images.klipsch.com/RB81IIcutsheet_635042118979170000.pdfNot to disparage low cost speakers but always thought of this line as mass market HT stuff? How do they sound compared to traditional Klipsch Heritage Series Heresy III? | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors I agree. I don't use a pre-amp and have a nice 21 step attenuator on my VTA 120 amp. The DAC puts out plenty of signal to drive the amp. Regarding the hearing loss not much to say beyond I tend to favor 'brighter' presentation speakers to help com... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors I do have the curves however my hearing aids already compensate for the loss where they can. Putting them in (both ears) literally turns on the treble for me when listening. The units are 15 or 20 channel programmable and set when I go for an audi... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors From Bob Latino’s site:The VTA ST-120 is a 60 WATT PER CHANNEL amplifier built on the same ST-70 stainless steel chassis as the amp pictured above.The VTA ST-120 uses three custom wound USA made transformers and is available as a KIT amp or comple... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors I believe the amp is rated at 60 Watts in Pentode mode. Would like to keep cost to me about $1,500, but price point will be less an issue since I’m happy to purchase used but well loved units.stand mount preferred. I listen in a small room (10x12)... | |
| Pros and cons of vintage Dynaco ST-70 Don’t know if anyone mentioned Bob Latino’s version of the Dynaco 70 but worth a look at his site as it details some of the improvements he has made to the original model to address the older design concerns:http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htmFull d... | |
| Paradigm speakers @initmaAppreciate you are asking about the Prestige. I thought you also asked ownership and quality questions....got carried away....I auditioned the Prestige and felt that like the previous versions of Paradigms I've owned, their upper end prese... | |
| Paradigm speakers Not sure what you think I couldn’t be more wrong about? The majority of their product has been positioned as mid-fi and HT. Nothing wrong with that, they are damn good at it. Their Signature series was the exception I guess, and while it got a cou... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @inna how things are made (I.,e design and quality) has nothing to do with where they are made. it has everything to do with who is designing them and the level of expertise and effort they are willing to invest into the effort. | |
| Paradigm speakers I think the reason they don’t get reviewed or held in high esteem by the press has more to do with the fact that they have focused their marketing and product development efforts on mass market mid-fi and ht product. A bit similar to when Volkswag... | |
| Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio I bought the D-Sonic M3a-800S (2 x 400w) last year and haven’t looked back. I went through two class A/B SS set-ups over the past 10 years--a NAD M3 (good built quality, sound was too muddled for my tastes) and a Bryston set-up (BP26, Byston DAC, ... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! I really don't want to get into a pissing contest with you, but your response to a simple question, which IMHO is way over the top, is why you are getting dinged by numerous posters.one of the keys to dialog between people of differing points of v... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! So I finally got around to reading the review in their free (sponsored) recommended speakers for 2017. While the review was good, I couldn’t help but notice that the Paradigms did not make the "Top Pick" list for speakers > $10k. In fact a numb... | |
| Stands for Legacy Studio HDs These are $175 or less, very sturdy and can be filled if you want. | |
| Stands for Legacy Studio HDs I have mine on 24" stands from B&W. this puts the tweeter at about ear level when I sit in my "listening" chair |
