| Why does most new music suck? Electroslacker,I googled Max Martin and thanks to you I now know why 90% of new music sucks.Funny thing, a few years back I was thinking about the sorry state that music was in and that you could substitute any artist's vocal with another artist's... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or Pharaoh Integrated Bbroyles23,As far as the Cronus Magnum driving your Revel's, I suggest you call Mark at Rogue and ask his opinion regarding how the amp will perform. Tell him about the impedance curve; on paper that's what says these speakers aren't a good match.... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or Pharaoh Integrated In your other thread I mentioned the specs on the Revel F206's, particularly the impedance curve. Speaker sensitivity is 88dB, nominal impedance is 8 ohms. The curve shows the speaker is driven well below 8 ohms throughout most of the frequency ra... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Offloading bass to powered sub means smaller external amps can be used and usually means better performance and dynamics all around.It's a very practical and cost effective approach that should appeal to many.Some very good points. And optional wo... | |
| What would you do? Do you have any acquaintances who are knowledgeable bidders on Ebay? If so, have one of then look at your data; that place is full of professional shill bidders. | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers So Mapman, what do you think? Do these new speakers become a more dynamic top tier Ohm line-up and they keep the 1000 to 5000 line affordable? (they already have very respectable freq response specs).Or do they all get a subwoofer design? What is ... | |
| Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker First of all, wait till you hear your speakers after they open up at about 150 hours.I found that spikes on my PSBs gave me the tightest bass on a wood floor; and I had the same problem as you, I needed to move the spkrs out of the way because it ... | |
| changing my gear around Possibly better isolation for the DAC being on the rack, assuming you use iso-devices.Here's what's important to me, let dust settle on the PC at floor level instead of on your DAC. | |
| Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker How many hours break-in are you up to? And are you using spikes or footers yet? That's when you'll hear how deep and tight the bass can be. (don't use rubber or sorbothane footers, they won't let the resonances of the bass pass thru). | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? Mikirob is right. You can go for a mid-priced DAC and add in a reclocker for smoother playback. You could then keep your Marantz as the transport (which is the weak link).The higher up the DAC chain you go, the better the master clock is. (jitter ... | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? Celtic66,A music server is the ultimate way to go. But, before he can make that move, he still has the problem of a CDP playing back with a high jitter rate. Dylanfan, In your other thread you asked the same question, "new CD or DAC?" First, forge... | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? Wim1983, I think you will be very pleased with a set of used Focus monitors, providing your amp has enough power. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? Thanks, Xt, I didn't see that. I'm a Dyn fan; have spent quite a few hours auditioning Focus and Contour. Was thinking that would be my next upgrade.I don't understand the thinking behind replacing solid passive speaker lines with new active speak... | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? Xti16,If you recall our previous discussion re. the new ownership, I see on the new website, the entry level DM was dropped and replaced by the EMIT line, but the FOCUS is still available. If and when they discontinue the FOCUS line, that would cr... | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? If you want a warm speaker with terrific soundstaging, audition some PSBs. They're not in the same league as Dynaudio, but are reasonably priced, dynamic, aND very engaging. And a forgiving speaker. |
