| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB If the OP wants to know what speaker can launch the strongest sound wave, the limit may be way beyond what is practical. Couldn’t one just keep adding woofers to the array of speaker woofers along with adequate power to increase the speakers’ sou... | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB Seems like an exercise in hearing loss.Trying to launch a massive sound wave, which can damage “expensive” speakers and audio components, seems to be the antithesis of high-end audio fidelity. | |
| Do you care about car audio? I also have a Lexus with the Mark Levinson- sound only okay. Seems ML mostly known for their electronic components, not so much their speakers. Upgrade to Morel speakers $6k Yow! | |
| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... Weakest links are your DAC and turntable. More often than not, companies that specialize in design/manufacturing these components are better performing. There are much better DACs in the market nowadays that would better suit the level of your s... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! @jerkface - are you only considering tube amplifiers?https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/integrated-tube-amp-under-1000-2000 | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Odyssey- great price/performance bargain. IIRC Magico’s Alon Wolf liked and used Odyssey amps, not solely though. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL @daveyf - in an ideal world it would be great to get the best vinyl of the lot that sounds ideal in your specific system to you, but this option is not very feasible.So yes, Better Records is using their audio chain and using their own criteria to... | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Better Records Is providing a service - reviewing many records and choosing the best of the lot. The time spent plus having to dispose of the rest of the vinyl one would expect a substantial higher price to cover these costs plus time and effort.... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) @barnettk - please let us know your impressions of the sonics before and after using the Degritter, maybe comparing it to your previous cleaning process | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers @smaarch1 - if you ever want to crank up the volume without bothering your neighbors, perhaps a quality earphone/headphone? Like at the end of a stressful day, sometimes it's nice to get lost in louder music provided it's not so loud it damages o... | |
| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. @1111art - you should refuse shipment to get the speakers back to DALI for them to inspect/fix, then send you out a inspected/new pair. Accepting them then trying to fix yourself may opening a can of worms - a lot of uncertain additional time and... | |
| Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers? +1 @mikelavigne otherwise.....enjoy. pro audio guys and artists could care less.We can’t hear what the recording artist hears because of the sonic differences in audio chains and listening environments. Also, recording artists may focus on differ... | |
| The Most "Analog" CD Player? @chayro - perhaps getting a separate DAC+transport may be a better sonic solution. Maybe a tube DAC. | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers LSA speakers garnered many VERY positive reviews from professional reviewers - try Googling "LSA speaker reviews".The LSA 20 Signature is on sale for $2.3k here: https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-speakers which is very inexpensive for the... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? @mglikQobuz has 50 million songs while Tidal has 60 million songs which I believe is the most economic way to hear various songs. Many songs come with significantly higher resolutions files compared to redbook (CD) files which sound significantly ... |
