| Large room with low budget for speakers To some, 30k is low budget for a pair of loudspeakers. To me, 30k is 5 times of my total spending on two 2-channel systems. | |
| Why Do You Post? Dealer, dealer, dealer. Some of them tell you they are dealers. Some of them pretend they are not. They come in a group, supporting each other, trash talk/diss other objective opinions for a single purpose, i.e., promoting their products. In o... | |
| My endgame system I think The Rockport/Boulder were both highly praised by Stereophile but JA did point out the minor flaw below. I also noticed that, when listening to Pink Floyd Money (demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1Zced6dEU&t=181s), bass notes introduced fr... | |
| My endgame system I think A very de minimis high performer system you have put together. You must go through tremendous time and effort to sort out and eventually end up with this particular combination in this price range you consider as the "endgame". It will be more i... | |
| Heard the Margo Timmons solo release? Margo Timmins. Great songs/recording. Thx. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade Op, a decent DAC does not cost fortunate. Quarter of the money you spent on the used MF could get you a pretty decent DAC that preserves soundstage width / depth, tonal balance, weighted bass well like Schiit Modius. You could sell it on eBay i... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade I thought you bought it used so it might be the issue of broken in. Here is a slightly negative review where you might find a tread of hint. You might want to bypass the preamp section and try a good source feeding thru a good sounding DAC to MF... | |

PM me if you decide to keep the Totems. Why when you have this? Is that because you do not like Sabre DAC... | |

| Suggestions for Bluetooth device to hook up iPhone to amp The codex in iphone is limited to AAC. AAC is a very processor-heavy codec since it uses psychoacoustic modeling to transmit data. Iphone typically weighs energy efficiency over performance and will encode AAC Bluetooth (BT) to a lower bit rate ... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Since you have mentioned the high damping factor (DF) of your amp and the uncertainty on the 7’s bass performance, the combination of two might produce bass notes on the leaner side and sometimes might affect the midrange too. Remember 7’s freq. r... | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k All the speakers in your list seem impressive. If I were you, I will start by reviewing all the reliable reviews given by the reviewers you thrust and come up with a short list of three by elimination. For example, Fyne Audio F500SP review by Wh... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Tarun's review is always spot on that you might take a look. I never own either of this but I adore ATC SCM 11 so much and have an eye on those. I will be concerned with the 7's insensitivity (82 measured which is 2dB lower than the specifie... | |
