| Tekton Double Impacts Make sure that those providing power advice for the speakers are using just the speakers and not speakers + powered subs which is a totally different story in regards to power needed just for the mains. 20 watts is very marginal power to drive mos... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Well those are very good speakers. I'd give things time to settle and break in before doing anything. Speaker changes often trigger other changes/tweaks in order to get things tuned back in. You can either give them time and do what you feel ju... | |
| Peachtree Nova 150, 300 or 500 Speaker Pairing....Any Suggestions? They will drive most anything well so you have the pick of the crop depending on what you are looking for. Would help to know more about the room and where you will be listening from in it to help narrow it down. | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices Whether one cares or not about what other people buy is a moot point. I am of the opinion that in general vendors will charge whatever amount people are willing to pay. Making people willing to pay more is what it’s all about. In many cases the va... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices They don’t call it high end for nothing. The prices are clearly high. Everyone has a unique angle on why their products sound superior. Bling matters. Sometimes the rest is not so obvious. | |
| Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it That sounds like a very good pairing. | |
| Voyager GaN Amp ... anyone have one? I am anxiously awaiting the first reviews. | |

| To horn or not to horn There are a lot of horn speakers out there from over the years so chances are a lot of people like them. | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? You have to experience the kind of music you listen to in many good live venues often over time for the ultimate reference for how things should sound. Pleasing sound is different and much easier. It’s all a matter of what your goals are. | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? Good question!You have to start with the thing you have least control over which is the room. I choose speakers likely to perform well in my specific room, then an amp capable of driving them very well, and things unfold from there. | |
| Benchmark / Anthem / Rogue True the Anthem STR has many modern features to differentiate it in addition to inherent good sound that some will find useful. | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... If I hear voices in my head are they real? | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? I see a Raven Blackhawk on TMR website tonight in case any interest. |
