| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? I don't know how long they're on sale for, But now I need you to decide between the unison and the forte. I'm leaning towards the unison simply because my Yamaha A-S500 integrated is a class AB which may yield a little more grunt. And watts than t... | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? @kota1 I have no idea what dnla or UPNP is. I had a helluva time getting my node 2i up and running. If the dts play is just an app to control the streamer, I could handle that, but I'm not computer/ IT savy at all. Nevertheless, $200 for room corr... | |
| Old days & steamers vs newer stuff? @kota1 that's wild. I had no idea it existed. This is cheaper than my node2i was. Does this item come with the microphone for ARC too? it looks like it has a digital out (to go to another better dac)? Is there any downside to this only having opt... | |
| For those that have heard Dutch & Dutch 8c.. @gosta , why would someone be afraid of active speakers? Is it because if one little thing breaks, the whole system is a brick? That would be my guess, but no, that wouldn't worry me as long as I knew I was buying a quality piece of equipment. Per... | |
| For those that have heard Dutch & Dutch 8c.. Thanks guys. Any idea how the Anthem STR integrated would do in a similar scenario? I believe it has dsp. Maybe some decent tower speakers with that integrated would be a decent way to go. (And possibly less pricey). What are your thoughts on that... | |
| For those that have heard Dutch & Dutch 8c.. @koestner @gosta , thanks for sharing your experience. This is exactly the kind of info i was looking for. One of the speakers In my room doesn't fit into a corner. It's against a wall that goes down a hallway, But I still imagine using whate... | |
| For those that have heard Dutch & Dutch 8c.. Yes, I understand, but certain "monitors" are known to be either more on the clinical sounding neutral side of analytical sound reproduction versus others that although they are monitors, they have a more musical (less sterile clinical presentatio... | |
| Arendal speakers...are they the real deal or all influencer hype? I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone owns them or heard them at expona and will chime in....so far...[crickets] | |
| Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands? @czarivey , we all know Tony meant feet not ". (1meter room ha ha) Sounds like I might be better off with small floorstanders over monitors then? Yes?, no? ??? | |
| Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands? @tomcarr, thanks,!will monitor speakers be enough for a 14'x14' room? | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Shoot, I just saw your 2 zone remote control comment. Can't do that with the Yamaha A-S701 I recommended. Sounds like she wants something more like a Sonos system to pick and choose zones. | |
| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives Thanks everyone for all the replies so far! Millercarbon, no way I can fit speakers that large in my small room. I often think the revels overpower it, however, switching to monitors and not having enough bass would be equally bad imo.Trying a Rav... | |

| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives Thank you Sfar! Do you use a sub or are you able to get sufficient bass from the De capo? Also, how long do you have to warm up the amp before listening? | |
| Spotify premium doesn't see node 2i as avail. device I tried both Qobuz & Tidal. I wasn't crazy about their format. I already have a fair amount of music saved in stored with playlist on spotify which is convenient.You have offered developed solution that is probably the lesser of all other evi... |
