| Bose 901 I agree it is a moronic review.How are they ever going to sound any good with that sort of placement?They need to be a placed against a long wall away from corners with nothing in between them and distance out from the wall is critical.If you pos... | |
| BEST S.S. AMP FOR TANNOY 15'' SPEAKERS Bakoon.No contest because they operate electrically more like tube amps.I have tried a lot of different SS and and tube amps with various Tannoy 15s and the Bakoons are by far the best sounding. | |
| What are in these Bose speakers anyways Split Enz wrote a song about it-https://youtu.be/wYw3C_cVa2Q | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. So what speakers make poor recordings sound good?Bose 901s perhaps but they use an equaliser. | |
| Do my Dynaudio Evidence Temptations require more amp? What they need is a very good DHT preamp to open up the soundstage and give them some life and vibrancy and musical involvement.Something like a Supratek Cabernet 300B which I have heard transform similarly introverted speakers into something rea... | |
| Speaker sensitivity, impedance, and calculating amp power Avoid any speaker that dips below 4 ohms through the bass section.Above 5-6 ohms is even better.The flatter the impedance curve the better. | |
| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference You should try to listen to Yamaha NS 5000s.There might be more impressive sounding speakers around at that price point [or should I say more hi fi sounding],but I doubt any of them would sound as real , as natural or as complete as the NS5000s. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? All the best audio components I have heard are the product of decades of evolution and fine tuning not the latest technological 'breakthrough" | |
| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC You might want to consider a Bakoon amp.I compared my AMP5521 to the Leben CS600 a while back and preferred the Bakoon.The Leben was very good but the Bakoon was clearer and even more musically communicative.The Bakoons are not tube amps but they ... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? The Nakamich 420 souds excellent combined with a Supratek preamp.A lot of SS power amps sound quite good but are not transparent so impose too much of their own sound . Using a top flight preamp with them does not improve them greatly.The 420 al... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? The old Nakamichi 420 is a really excellent sounding little power amp. | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 Better to spend the money on having a variable negative feedback control fitted.I have owned SETs with that option installed and it really helps fine tune the sound I imagine the Kit 1 has zero negative feedback and if you can dial in more feedbac... | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 300B SET amps do tend to sound a bit like that but there are some which sound far less soggy/bloated/euphonic than the Kit 1.The Kit 1 is certainly at the soggy end of the scale .I had a really cheap Chinese 300B SET that sounded like that too.The... | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 Like as sloth on valium.With lots of drool. | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s I have a friend with Usher Be20s so know them pretty well.To me some of the Focal speakers have a similar sound.The 1038Be springs to mind as having a similarly big,smooth,open sort of sound .The Ushers are incredibly cable fussy.Get the cabling w... |
