| What's a fair price for an Audio Research Reference 75? Great amp, great used pricing as the replacement is very overpriced. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... While I agree that larger speakers do scale better, in Wilson’s case I prefer their smaller speakers (DAW) as the big ones suffer from incoherency. | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? I much preferred Dart to Dagostino, in a side by side integrated comparison.I’m pretty sure a number of low powered SS amps will sound better on more efficient speakers. | |
| Alexx and Lamm ML1? Just try the M2.2 instead, Vladimirs design for low impedance speakers.manufacturers always say their gear works with anything so discount them. Dealers know better usually. | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! I think the American Walnut looks amazing. I had bird's eye maple 1.3SEs back in the day but these look equally as good. | |
| Japanese Audio this has been a very interesting thread so far, thanks gents | |

| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers FYI, Jim Smith has both Perspectives and Fynes in house. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Well, Devores don’t measure well either...in fact, I’d argue that John voices a sound that plays some games with FR. I hope the new O96 fixes the bass issue to an otherwise great speaker. | |
| Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz really depends on where your tinnitus is - mine is like 8khz. i've always been bothered by metal tweets even before it happened (an ear infection, not even rock concerts sigh). loud music does aggravate it afterwards, but i regularly listen to my ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers thanks - will have to check that one out. its been out for 7 years lol.the Super O/96 was rumored to be $25k but no idea now with materials costs.you might check out the Fyne 703 locally. seems up your alley. | |
| Headphones I tried the dt 1990 and HD660 but ended up with Grado Hemps for the win. | |
| What is a reasonable discount from MSRP from a local dealer? I used to have 25-30% off on anything i wanted, was a gear swapper, etc.I now tend to use local dealers and accept a lower discount. Typically i can demo gear at home which I find more valuable. Selling gear is much more costly than it was 20 year... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Wilson’s are highly overrated, but everyone should try a pair in their audiophile life |
