| Considering McIntosh MA352 It’s a real looker, A nice hybrid design, plenty of power, and good reviews. Very nice product! Also a Mac to-boot so always a resale market. If you like it, it has the connections you need and can afford it, go for it. Should drive the Focals t... | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Politically correct is just jargon that means caring about other people enough to watch what you might say due to desire to not offend others. Its the old “treat others like you would like to be treated yourself” thing. It’s a basic virtue related... | |
| The survival of the fittest. The Ohm website says they continue to be very busy and backlogged. Ohm has quietly been around for almost 50 years now. Started out as very successful Tech HiFI house brand, then sold through other B&M chains, then direct only since the mi... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers So we currently have a crew of 4 doing painting in our home. All women including the business owner. My wife found them. Gotta say they are doing an impressive job! Hard workers and very attentive to detail. They work hard, fast and efficiently an... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I too have heard Krell amps and Sonus Faber speakers sound quite sublime together. A combo I could easily live with. Just saying. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab Apples and oranges. Will come down to personal preference. The Tektons will probably do somewhat better technically with tube or more modestly powered amps. | |
| Larsen speakers ... anyone here heard or owned them? I heard a pair at Capital Audiofest a couple years back. Yes a different approach as described and unique for ability to be placed against walls. My audition was short and limited but I liked what I heard which was certainly not offensive on any w... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? That Mac 352 integrated is very nice looking and a hybrid design which I tend to like. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Don’t forget to not buy any Chinese made cell phones, computers, etc. either, right?It’s a global economy. That’s a fact and a good thing! We are all interconnected and can’t just ignore each other when things do not go as one might prefer. Differ... | |
| High end Class D amps? There is a lot of total nonsense posted online regarding many topics, including Class D amps. Are people threatened? Fearful? Did they just hear a bad setup which no one technology alone can fix? Did they just prefer something else in their case? ... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I know guy who bought one at a dealer shop and then sold it shortly after. He had more difficult load speakers not designed to work best with tube amps. So it was just a system mismatch nothing wrong with the amp itself.I think many people just ... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? Sounds like a Class D conspiracy theory. What’s one more conspiracy theory?Bad reviewers! Where’s the bile?I have 4 Class D amps in my house and listen to them for hours all the time for years. I’ve been an audio hound for >40 years. Heard it a... | |
| Photos of my system Looks nice. I know you put a lot of thought and hard work into it. Enjoy! | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Ohm Walsh are in the running.Well under 10k for most every model and the most under for small to modest size rooms. | |
| Listening to full LPs vs virtually endless digital tracks. It depends. |
