| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? The benefit if done well (like Dynaudio in general) is more bass extension from a smaller box, but you need a beefier amp than otherwise typically to be able to deliver that bass. Power needs increase exponentially with lower frequency.Its easy to... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Speakers but more specifically how they will work in the room. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Interesting article. thanks. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? How else will they ever sell? | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! Well frankly it is really pretty meaningless except for the specific gear tested. What were those again? Also price alone means nothing except how much you will pay. | |
| I think I screwed up 😬☹️ Sorry to hear that. Quality turntables are delicate devices. I would be very cautious buying used in general. | |

| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Why should wires be any different? Very profitable! | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @curiousjimYes still very happy. Have only run them off my main system which is powered by Bel canto ref1000m monoblocks. They should do well off most any good quality SS amp. I would not run them off a tube amp. Not designed for that really. I do... | |

| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Let me know when someone actually buys one and listens to it and can share their findings. I am tempted for that price but can’t justify another amp quite yet. The longer one waits, the better off one usually is in regards to the product/technolog... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D I do tend to have some concern for long term reliability of complex devices from NAD like the m33. Otherwise it seems to be the bees knees for a reasonable price versus the competition for all that it does well. |
