| Tyler Acoustics and Salk @winoguy17 would that pair you showed me work best With a pass labs INT-150 integrated, a McIntosh ma5300, or a benchmark ahb2 amplifier?: | |
| Tyler Acoustics and Salk Thank-you guys. The raal tweeter in Salks is pretty darn wonderful in my book, but the perfect goldilocks speaker is really elusive. Especially on my budget. | |
| Bang for the buck I have no idea if the Salk songtower or veracity ht2 would walk all over the Arendal 1723 speakers, but those 1723 seem to be on the current speaker "hype train" , and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about which choice would be better. (La... | |
| Bang for the buck I don't want vintage, the croton tdx are definitely bargains, but I would not be inclined to build them myself. The bang for the buck I was thinking of was great sounding speakers that sell for irresistible prices on the second hand market. As s... | |
| Bang for the buck @james633 I had Kef r3 , buchardt s400 mkii se, and Arendal on my radar too. So many to pick from. Heard some monitor audio gold I liked but they are out of budget. It's going to be impossible to listen to all the options that interest me, and my ... | |
| Bang for the buck @audioguy85 I need your job! I can't imagine havng that kind of cash to drop on something and leaving it in the box. I bet they sound great, but I suppose it's relative to what you currently are using. [Shrug] | |
| Bang for the buck @baylinor well said, i understand, thanks. @yogiboy do you think those Vandersteens will outperform a Salk veracity ht2?? I've heard a vandersteen before and was impressed but I don't remember the model. i can het a desl on a salk songtower or ve... | |
| Bang for the buck Solid state front end. May upgrade to a better integrated but plan to stay solid state. | |
| Bang for the buck Gotcha, thanks for rhe info. It sounds kind of like how Rtings rates Tv's. They rate them without ever taking the tvs upscaling ability into account for their image rating (not every tv image is already in 4k guys). | |
| Bang for the buck @tony1954 is that because ASR doesn't properly measure equipment or just because the vast amount of personal experience found here definitely outweighs any measurements found elsewhere? I don't want steak from a salad bar, but I would like to lea... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Yes. It's definitely possible. A fool and his money are soon parted, and there is no denying corporate greed. Think about it... Product parts may equal three thousand dollars max. Product sells for a hundred and thirty three thousand dollars. That... | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? @kota1 will spotify on my phone allow me to diectly connect to the unison like it's a wifi device/speaker, or do I have to use dts play fi to hear spotify on the unison? | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? Big thanks too @kota1 for all the info , links. and explanations. You rock! Thanks! | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? @yesiam_a_pirate, I stream using spotify premium I don't think pandora has a high bit rate option for their music streams, But streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz Offer uncompressed high resolution flac file music streams to choose from. Th... | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? That particular martin logan streamer does not have bluetooth. It operates by pairing both devices on the same.wifi network. I believe streaming over wifi actually gives a better signal than bluetooth. There are other Bluetooth streamers like the... |
