| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Sorry never heard R100s so couldn’t say. I’d assume probably little better but would have to hear both. R100 higher series but also older series I think right? I’m no Kef expert, just grabbed the q150s when they were on sale half price a month ago... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I’ll give a little more feedback on the Kef q150s. I am a Spendor fanboy. Have D7’s in my main system, D1’s in my secondary system, and SA1’s as the main speakers in my 3rd system, with the Kefs as the backups that I rotate thru (along with some N... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I paid $389 for my C1 pair new on Amazon about a year ago, FYI. Sealed is nice for desk and with only 8” behind. They are currently in my main HT system, which maybe could be considered a promotion from backup duty in my third music system, where ... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) They are quite different. NHT are sealed, Kef are rear ported. Kef are quite a bit larger footprint. NHT are more forward sounding. Kef have more bass. NHT look nicer, nice piano black finish. Kef wood trim looks pretty cheap. But to me the Kef so... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I own nht C1's and also kef q150s. The nht's can be found less expensive than the link provided, just do a quick search.I prefer the Kef's personally, but ymmv. | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life Counterpoint to the music much more important than sound is if just music you’re after then you can do that with mp3, iPod and earbuds, or a 1980s cassette Walkman. The former is what 95% of population does, but nobody here probably okay with that... | |
| Living the audiophile life. Haha, no worries. Yeah the Agon messaging feature isn’t as slick as some other sites, that’s for sure. As you go up the ladder in sound quality, no doubt each further improvement costs more $$ than the last. Many would say we’re crazy to keep chas... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ Imo wrong to conflate LPZ tweeters with Beryllium tweeters. Seriously, as someone who has demo’d over 20 speakers before choosing D7’s, the Be speakers rank in the top 10-15% of forward-sounding speakers. The classic Spendor ( non-D series) rank i... | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life Kef Q150s are fantastic. I just got a pair myself when they were on sale. I’m lucky. I live in a metro area with several nice hifi dealers and have built relationships with all of them. That is part of living the audiophile life. Don’t worry about... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ I own Spendor D7 for past year. They are not bright at all. They are neutral. I purchased them after demoing about two dozen other speakers over a six month period. The D7’s were the best, including beating other contenders up to $10k (Focal Kanta... | |
| Raven or Hegel? Two left ears, why do you say they’re polar opposites? How so? What exactly makes them so different? I’m not very familiar with either | |
| B&W 804D2 vs 702S2 I listened to both a year ago fairly extensively. I think the 702 sounds good for its price and is worth the money. I think the 804 is way overpriced for what you get. Depends what price you can get the 804s at but in general imo the 702 a much be... | |
| McIntosh, your experience? Mc fans are diehard. I'd say go and audition them at dealers and compare them against comparatively priced competitors, and let your ears decide. Don't base a decision on forum feedback. | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? I just upgraded my cable modem and switched to Supra Cat8 Ethernet cable, and had Xfinity run Coax11 as upgrade from Coax6 from street to side of house, and my Teac NT-505 is still running trouble-free after more than a year.Head-to-head against m... | |
| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced Thanks for the corrections to my incorrect assumption. Good to know! |
