| Good inexpensive temporary speakers I've tried the KEF LS50s and wasn't thrilled with them but then again I found my speaker wires I was using were fried. But overall I'm not really looking for the revealing monitor kind of sound. I'd probably go with the Maggie MMG's if I had to ch... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers The amp I've been using is a Cary 200 watt solid state. I'll be moving to a Wadia integrated plus DAC that also 200 watts into 8 ohms. However since auditioning the MMGs I found that my Purist Audio speaker wire was also fried in my system meltdow... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers I've read some reviews on the studio 1s that the bass could be a bit over-ripe. Of course we all know how much credibility reviews can have. I also know the Proac sound changes over time. I'd be most interested in Proacs from the Dennis Had era. I... | |
| Sjofn the Clue v. Fritz Carbon 7 or other Fritz I've heard the clue speakers and they're quite good for the price. I think they excel at Rock, Pop, Electronic etc. And Lars at Sjofn is just a blast to talk to. Spent a couple hours on the phone with him talking about speakers, the Seattle music ... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? It seems like most of the active speakers (ATC included) have a reputation of being on the brighter more etched or revealing side. Is this true?I just sold some excellent Verity speakers just because the process of getting all new well matched com... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? Wow - great responses! And yes, I'm more interested in a realistic to timbre, scale, transients, etc sound than caring as much about audiophile fetishes such as perfect instrument placement, spooky imaging, or being able to actually hear whether D... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? With Lynn and Meridian do you need separate (expensive) controllers that work with the speakers or is it just speaker ->source?One limitation I see with the Dynaudio XEO and Focal Easya is that being wireless they don't do hi res audio. I don't... | |
| Best DAC/preamp for under $2K? Still haven't gotten anything. My system is still in flux, so I'm waiting to get the rest of the system in place before I top it off with the right DAC. I'm leaning towards the Hugo but maybe I'll end up with a warmer tube staged DAC depending on ... | |
| Attention Verity owners Actually Cable Company said Purist Audio and AQ were the most successful sellers with the Parsifals. I was using all PA Museaus's (speaker and IC) and it didn't sound bad but a bit dark losing some of the nice treble sparkle from the Verity's. | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? My re-decision to sell was based on economics. The insurance company didn't pay as much on the Parsifals as they lead me to believe, and on top of that I realize I'll have to change my amp, speaker cables and possibly interconnects. I'll also be p... | |
| Are music servers the future? It's simply a matter of how much data can be streamed how quickly - a matter of bandwidth. Netflix is already working on streaming 4K video so trust me, DSD files from a bandwidth point of view is no sweat. Also consider that uncompressed blu ray ... | |
| Are music servers the future? Personally I think Hi Def Streaming Audio is the future. Ultimate convenience AND quality. If you don't think they can deliver high def music via streaming in the near future - just consider that they already deliver both hi def audio AND video in... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? After playing them for awhile in the forward woofer config they're really sounding good. Not rattling the walls with 3d deep liquid bass but excellent bass anyway and probably even more coherent and correct sounding (at least in my listening space... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Ok I tried them with bass firing forward. As Verity said most of that amazing bass depth and spaciousness has gone. But it IS more neighbor friendly and doesn't sound bad. I'll see if it grows on me. | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? The problem is the room they're in. To get them far enough from the front wall one of the speakers would have the bass module firing right into the side of a love seat if the woofers were facing forward. This is one reason I thought the rear firin... |
