Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k I’ve heard Klipsch Heresy IV off that Anthem amp. Very nice! How about larger Klipsch? Cornwall perhaps? I’d like to hear that. | |
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons Talk to @atmasphere. He will tell you how lower impedance = more distortion. The question is always how much (will vary by amp) and is the distortion pleasant sounding or not. One thing for sure you will likely be advised to NOT use Atmasphere amp... | |
Is this an right time to buy hifi? IT's not a good thing to be in debt. If you are don't make it worse by spending a ton more. That's the problem. Sometimes its inevitable but many times its people who put themselves into debt seeking things they really can't afford. Good n... | |
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Why not "cheap out" initially with Fosi? It’s fast and easy and no risk. If you don’t like it you can return it or maybe find use for it elsewhere in a second system for practically nothing by high end audio standards.In general, I find it is a mi... | |
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons 2 ohm? Really? Interesting. Personally I’d let others try those first.Or just take advice from those with simple and biased views of how things work just because and try it for yourself.I’d be interested to hear out it works out. Also some measur... | |
Gato speakers Well I do like the aesthetics of their electronics for whatever that is worth. Nice looking stuff. Danish flair... Seem to be much better positioned in Europe than here at present FWIW. | |
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! If you want to get started with Bluetooth in an amp that will probably sound pretty good for a pittance with zero risk (returnable) as an easy start consider: Amazon.com: Fosi Audio I have one of these driving a pair of KEF ls50s, not an easy t... | |
Is this an right time to buy hifi? People should make the best of everyday because you never know what tomorrow brings. | |
Gato speakers Reviewers just have to tell it as it is. If they get excited about many products that is a good thing. Most will probably not bother to publish a bad review unless they feel that will benefit someone. Good ones stick to the facts and try to keep p... | |
3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? If someone tells you they are watch out. | |
Gato speakers Yes positive people who manage to identify good things are a real problem. Especially for Debbie Downers. | |
Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations For something completely different and relatively affordable and very coherent take a look at DNM Reson. | |
How would you prioirtize? What is the floor construction? Foundation level or upper level/suspended plywood? If you jump up and down do things vibrate/shake rattle or move? If so isolating speakers from the floor with isolation pads like Auralex Subdude or similar might be... | |
Am I crazy? Definitely! Hype alert: (141) Z Review - Ohm Walsh [BEST SPEAKERS EVER!!] - YouTube (141) It sounds like being there: The Ohm Walsh 2000 - YouTube | |
Am I crazy? Definitely! The Klipsch heritage line is way more efficient than Tekton. I’ve heard several of the latest models and also Tekton. I would not own large Tektons personally due to aesthetics, though they sound OK if that is what appeals. Whatever you choose mak... |
