| Kef and McIntosh That's what I was fearing. I have heard some refer to the Mac sound as "veiled" and Kef as neutral, especially in the higher end and that did not seem like an ideal combo. I honestly have very little experience with high end systems and am trying ... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 really appreciate the continued suggestions, thanks to everyone. Feel like a kid in a candy shop, so many good choices. curious @mofojo why being into vinyl gets an "otherwise" for the Lyngdorf? | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 @panzrwagn you make some good points. tough shopping indeed. The trend is definitely towards integrated and interesting that some electronics big brands (Technics, Yamaha, Marantz) have made the list. Nice that this has been a really productive di... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 lots of really good help/info here; thanks. I might have to spend some more time in the speaker section of the forum because it looks like the surrounds on the old ARs are definitely failing, so maybe I should stick with the consensus and start wi... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 that's reason enough for me @grislybutter . 1 reason I had the monos in mind was in case I stuck with more traditional i.e. heavy amps. The class D M700 pair mentioned above in thread piqued my interest. just for amusement purposes, is there a... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 is the recommendation of an integrated by a couple of you reflecting a little value by combining 2 into one box? as in some integrateds might outperform separates at the same price point? I get the convenience and maybe aesthetic value of that, ju... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 forgot to add that sonos had digital out and same for even the cheap cd transport so a dac may be in future, either in an audio component (pre-amp or direct-to-amp) or as part of pc rebuild. Even downgraded by the over air old radios and dacs in t... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 just recently re-connected analog sources (cheap cd/turntable/tuner) but likely to stick to most common source of streaming currently handled by analog Sonos out. I have toyed with pc streamer idea, trying to consolidate gear for long term. I do m... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 got it. btw, the links to harbeth and spendor on your site need to be updated (dead end now) | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 thanks nonoise, but I had already done that search and my search like yours (at least my results) shows the us distributor but does not list the dealers. and the toneimports page did not show dealers either. but thanks for the link to them | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 Those Revivals look nice. Not clear how to get one's hands on them since there is no dealer list for USA. I am near New Orleans. Plenty of home theater type places but limited for audio so far. I guess I just started looking, but that is the impre... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 no HT for now and leaning to stand-mounts. still in single family home but approaching down-sizing so it will never be a huge room and unlikely an apartment either. I'm not a subwoofer type of listener so that would be way down the line. I'm think... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 well that Lyngdorf 2170 certainly looks interesting, since I have been streaming for a long time and moving more in that direction. I guess it also raises the whole DSP thing too. That's what is nice about starting from scratch, can explore newer ... | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 I'll put the Yamaha on the list for sure. The speakers probably push the short-term size limits and serious dent in budget, but the speaker:amp ratio is noted. | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 I'm just looking for a starting point, really. Would love to spend less if it is doable, but had just finished perusing the speaker threads where speakers alone were over 10k (!). those m700s are a good place to start a list. thanks |
