| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma I'm seriously impressed with the Dynaudio XEO 10. They're active. They're compact. They have real bass. They sound fantastic. The XEO 10 are unquestionably fullrange. Most other passive bookshelf speakers don't have as much bass. | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? You should try some computer speakers and small pocketable bluetooth speakers. You'll get that "tiny driver screaming in a tin box" effect. | |
| How much does rear horn loading add to full range driver? I'm enjoying my Closer Acoustics Ogy immensely. They're the smallest back-loaded horn fullrange driver speakers. Bass is surprisingly good. Midrange is blissful. Vocals are... wow! Highs are a bit on the brighter side. The drivers are EMS LB5. I... | |
| I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp @holmz I'm sorry, I don't understand your post. You're talking about an engineering concept. What are the consequences? Should the A07 and Tripath amp sound very similar? Anyways, I thrifted a Continental Edison PA9109 for 40€ and couldn't be hap... | |
| Got $35 and want a neat amp? This amp looks similar to some of these Wondom Sure amplifiers with the same chip. I have mixed feelings. The amp works fine. Unfortunately I bought a model with the less powerful Tripath TA2024 chip with only 10W. The unit cost 40€, but I had t... | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? The Triangle Br02 are $250 on Amazon right now. | |
| Small Footprint SS Power Amps I'm thinking of the Atoll MA100. But it's only 60W in stereo and 150W in mono. So 2x Atoll MA100 ? | |
| [UPGRADE] Sure T2024 amp (need more powaa!!) Quick update: The folks from r/budgetaudiophile helped me out a bunch. They stated a few things: - The differences between the Ayima A07 and SMSL amps with Infineon MA12070 amps are only slight. So I'm wondering if I'll notice a difference swi... | |
| [UPGRADE] Sure T2024 amp (need more powaa!!) Ok, I will add that the Closer Acoustics OGY are pretty analytical and on the brighter side. I watched iiWi Reviews on Youtube. He seems to say that the SMSL DA-9 is analytical/not suited for bright speakers. And he says that the Sabaj A10a is m... | |
| I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp I'm interested in this Aiyima amp. I bought a Tripath amp based on Rolox's recommendation. It sounds lovely with my Closer Acoustics OGY. But I wish I had more power for orchestral music. With other music it's plenty loud. | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? Personally, I disliked the Klipsch RP600M so much. To me the Klipsch sounded thin and lifeless. The heightened treble fakes detail, I say this because the dry-sounding mids constantly remind you that you’re listening to speakers. I don’t think the... | |
| REL users - do any of you use low level for 2 channel? Hey! I connected my REL T5x with a coax cable running through LFE and into my Bluesound Node. No problem. It just works. No thinking required. I never used the high-pass cable. | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers @sunshdw Any experience with those? Kudos for the 94db efficiency. That must be a featherweight driver. I would love to compare the OGY with the Super Alnico Monitor (same price range). I will say that the OGY have a more impressive craftsmanship... | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers Literally any bookshelf speaker will do, except perhaps the LS50 which is a pain to drive. Finding a bookshelf speaker with 95 db is an impossible task. 86db is good enough! Don't be swayed by Klipsch speakers which overrate their efficiency numb... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Okay, okay. I think I may have found a limitation to my cheap-ass class D China amp (Tripath T2024 chip with only 10W of power). And it took me some time because I was mostly listening to my regular music, which is soft rock and acoustic. The amp ... |
