| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. Why not demo Genelec 8351B and be done with it? | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? @madavid0 I have tested Genelec 8341A active speakers. They use class D amps. My old system was Dynaudio contours powered by Hegel H190 which I gave up to downsize. The Genelecs would be hard to best even by speakers ten times their price. | |
| New game with active speakers Nothing of much value to add here but I’ll say this — living in urban apartments all the cabling has to go. In seeking simple but high quality setups I’ve been through KEF LS50W (least impressive to my ear)... Edifier S3000 Pro (quite surprising i... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz you don’t need a separate program for that. Spotify allows you to save certain playlists offline. The limit is not infinite but it’s fairly high. I have about 20,000 of my favourite songs on my phone in high resolution (320 kbps) which ... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D Genelec 8351B uses Class D amps. Sounds more than good enough to me. Those speakers are harder to beat at 10 times the price. | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Malia and Boris Blank collaboration on the album “Convergence”. One of my reference albums to test sound.. many songs that would fit the bill. Celestial Echo for example.. | |
| Buchardt A500, KEF LS50 Wireless, etc. What are your top 3 downsides? Might be blasphemous to mention in these parts, but Edifier S2000 MKIII comes darn close to LS50W at a fraction of the price, in fact sounds a bit more open if EQed properly and connected wired via a proper interface (which I'd do with LS50W anywa... | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? @nitewulf James Blake "Limit to your Love" is on most audiophile testing lists. Great song especially in its bass line. Nicolar Jaar has a few good tunes too, not quite al album-wide person for me though. | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Lots of hard rock (noisy stuff for some ;-)) or straight up classical.. adding a mix from other kinds of sound: - Rakim - Dead Can Dance - Obvious People - Twin Shadow - Future - Adam Beyer - Safe From Harm - Massive Attack - God’s Chariots - Oklo... | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy Seriously at 10K those are your inane options? - Dynaudio contour line - ATC - Spector - KEF reference line - Fyne Audio - Magico A3s .. There are some stellar active options now with Genelec Fives, Buchardt A500, HEDD Type 20 or Dynaudio Focus XD... | |
| Looking for a new integrated amp Not to confuse this further, but I'd suggest Cambridge Audio CXA61 or Hegel H95 over any of the brands mentioned here, with the exception of Belle As. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Changing of the Guard - Starflyer 59 ... bit of alternative rock. They remind of a modern take on The Smiths, including the throaty voice of the lead singer. Good recordings too, sonically. | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Thank you! Love the info about Ohno cables. I was thinking about Nordost flat cables, which are hifi and all but expensive. Question about subwoofer — why 80hz? Is there some science behind why it’s set that high? I’d expect the woofer to take ov... | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Thank you Fred. Very informative! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Billy Idol - The Stranger (Spotify premium) Interesting mix of rock and jazzy sounds. Including the hit “The way you are” but the album has even better songs imho. |
