| Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why? I spent some time auditioning SF II Cremonese earlier this week. They were very nice sounding and looking. Statement speakers indeed! Worth $55k? The cost of a nice luxury SUV? Hmmm…well hold on a second. I picked up a very nice pair of used SF C... | |
| New speakers for a new start? I’d go for Ohm Walsh 5000s or similar: if you can find a pair or afford new ones and drive them with a high power newer Class D amplification, 100 watts minimum or as high as you can go. I’d recommend Hypex or Purifi based like those from Vtv, ... | |
| Why can’t “Side A” and “Side B” be a bigger font?!?! Hey the prices for new records are way up. But they can’t fix a simple problem like this? What’s the story? 🤔 | |
| Are all streamers the same? Think of it this way: Digital streamers are no more necessarily the same than the digital mastering that goes into making the digital recordings. It’s all digital! Pretty much anything is possible. Especially when software is involved whic... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! .I’m amazed that analog works at all...dragging a tiny MC stylus through some plastic...amazing. +1 @wolf_garcia It is amazing. I always equate it to riding roller coasters to make music. Plus it’s still a somewhat popular thing which is even ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Related story: The other day I visited my local hifi shop as I often do when passing by. I was able to connect my iPhone to their network and stream any of “my” music on any of the systems they had set up, At least several dozen different choice... | |
| KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB? @mrbanker32 Hard to say. I’ve heard ls60 and R11 meta both sans sub. Have never heard Hegel. I would expect either with sub set up right to sound very good. The kef ls60 is a fantastic product in that it does it all and is designed to maximiz... | |
| KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB? If space is the issue definitely ls60 route. If not the other option becomes more practical. Both are good options. Size does matter. So does aesthetics and features. You get to decide. | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 Rings true for me. | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers @bdp24 +1 | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Pretty useless review. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Class D rules. Never going back again. | |
| Integrated amp: Component weight Consider any of the current Bel Canto integrated amps. Alternately I am a fan of the Rogue Pharoah. Or if an all in 1 integrated has appeal Cambridge Evo 150 might cut it or beefier NAD M33 with built in DSP might check all the boxes. | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? It happens but not always so as is usually the case: it depends. The devil is always in the details when it comes to application of science and technology. Generalized deductions can easily get you in trouble. | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps With a focus on downsizing and having moved to Class D several years back, I have no practical interest in large heavy power guzzling amps anymore. That’s just me. To each their own. Especially when it comes to what look and sound happens to float... |
