| Bragging rights..... Naim Unity was another option I studied but did not quite fit the bill. I am interested to see what new products Naim puts out in upcoming years though. | |
| Bragging rights..... @frazeur1 good to hear from you. Yes Downsizing is something I consider these days. But it’s always nice to simplify things, eliminate clutter and recover space. | |
| Bragging rights..... For those less inclined to dabble and experiment (and nitpick even perhaps)there has always been a strong argument for letting the experts do the integrations for you. Also to avoid having to connect things with pricey wires. I believe technical i... | |
| Bragging rights..... @condosound My bet was that the technology available now in the good products would move me forward and that happened. What lies on the future? Probably even better things and more options So I will cross that bridge when it comes. The Evo w... | |
| Bragging rights..... @hi @bondmanp yes you are right about the move from 500 w/ch to now 120w/ch as per product specs. originally I was targeting the more powerful nad m33 to come closer. However the Cambridge was a better fit for me feature-wise. So given a goo... | |
| Bragging rights..... @flasd the difference between today and yesteryear is the technological advancements that make things now possible that never were before. You can bank on that! | |
| Bragging rights..... Ah, the Great Leap Forward! *L* ...at least you kept the Walsh... ;) @asvjerry yes the Ohm Walsh speakers are quite unique and really not practically replaceable. The 5s are fairly massive but also quite adjustable to any room with the on boar... | |
| Bragging rights..... @anotherbob I was targeting the NAD M33 originally mainly for the added power. I required a USB input which would tack another $500 to the M33 cost for an add-on board (ouch). Also I was not really interested in doing adjustments for room acoust... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I would also point out that the transition from most tube amps to Class D amps is probably more challenging for owners than most. Most speakers that sound good to someone with a tube amp will sound different with most Class D amps. As they would w... | |
| Bragging rights..... @lalitk Yes that combo in that room is very tuned in and is really good for hearing all there is in any particular recording. . | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing What are the cases in which measurements don’t matter? The ones that come to mind are: 1) the published measurements are not sufficient or accurate enough to be useful 2) The user does not know how to properly apply the measurements 3)... | |
| Bragging rights..... @juanmanuelfangioii the Cambridge has been pretty reliable. It can be fussy when pairing bluetooth sources for input or output and usually requires a restart prior to pairing new devices, but once paired works well. Also the on-board music librar... | |
| Bragging rights..... @lalitk Still running Ohm F5s in larger adjacent L shaped room (still my main listening place via in-wall speaker wire) and KEF ls50 meta + Klipsch sw308 sub in smaller 12X12 where the other gear resides, where I also listen somewhat regularl... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing A well designed shootout among the leading or most popular class D amps would be very interesting, but getting conclusive results on such a highly subjective thing as how things "sound" is always problematic. That leaves one to merely leverage... | |
| My Lifelong Quest to Make my Expensive Rig Sound as Good as $500 Headphones Walsh drivers operate differently and seem to have an inherent advantage in this area compared to conventional piston drivers. |
