| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick I’m familiar with the 702S2. Not a bad choice at 5k. I’d suggest adding Spendor A7 and the $5k Dynaudio model (forget what it is called) to your list if you are open to options. When I did my speaker search 18 months ago those were my top picks un... | |
| KEF Reference 1s or LS50s Huh? You have eight LS 50s and Ref 1 already and you’re asking the forum’s opinion on what you should do?i guess that must mean you cannot tell the difference between them, or else why would you be asking? Given that, sell whatever you can get th... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only How dare you! haha | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? Simple: everywhere. | |
| Q for any Luxman L-509X owners Good to know that Luxman beats the much more expensive Naim, despite @audiotroy protestations | |
| 2020 quest for stereo amp with DAC for about 1000 USD I own and can recommend the marantz pm7000n. I like it a lot. Much better (other than bigger footprint and uglier) than the Bluesound Powernode 2 it replaced. I also use mine at work. I haven’t heard the others on your list so couldn’t comment wit... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated Not true. Fact is most techs (I’m a EE) wouldn’t make any such assumptions without knowing more about the internals and specifically what components are used to populate the circuit boards - sheesh! Those images tell us very little. iPhone models ... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated George, Why would it be surprising if they look similar from a 10,000 ft view, which is what each of those images you posted basically is because we can’t see details of any of the circuit boards? All I am talking about is the 590axii anyway and a... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated “Things don’t add up with the Lux Class-A figure presented or the Class-B wattage. “Hold on. Two independent professional reviews (see links provided above) each benchtested the L-590axii at 90w or higher into 8 ohms and nearly doubling that two f... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated The Luxman 590 bench tested to 90 w into 8 ohm in one of the reviews | |
| MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them? On the MIT web site that show the EVO line in similar price ranges to some of these Matrix Rev cables. I wonder how they compare, and odd that there is overlap??? | |
| Why was the entry level line at Audio Research eliminated? With 2020 being the 50th anniversary for the company, will there be any products coming out in honor of that milestone like had happened at earlier milestones (most notably 40th)? Or did the pandemic skew anything that had been planned in that reg... | |
| M900U vs the world You have to read the whole thread to understand but yeah, he always ends up selling regardless of how much he likes. He just likes to cycle through gear and test it. That is his deal. Different than most, for sure. Yes, sometimes when he initially... | |
| M900U vs the world smodtactical:regarding the whitecamaross quote, sure he probably said it but it was an exageration and he didn’t mean it, as he clarified to you on his thread right before you posted this here. he exagerates from time to time but if you read the t... | |
| Best reviewers Resurrecting this thread after nearly 20 years. Having just read a series of about two dozen reviews for products I’m interested in spanning the past ten years, I feel that Roy Gregory stands out among reviewers over the last 10 year time period. ... |
