| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Hey it’s 2024 now! Technology has improved. Overrated products are feeling the crunch more than ever.. Not Ohm. Not KEF. Not Fritz. mbl: unique and worth every penny if you got the right room. Big if!! Sonus Faber: can be a bit pricey but ah... | |
| Sub making electrical noises when connected to a Power conditioner Most conditioners are not designed for use with power amps. Just don’t do it! | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker KEF Blade meta would be a leading contender for me. | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? People can say or write whatever they want for whatever reason. Just saying. | |
| Non-Audiophile Audiophile question! all box speakers sound like boxes. Ohm Walsh speakers do not sound like boxes. The box is only there for the full bass that is not the forte of Magnepan typically. I had Magnepans prior to my Ohm Walsh a number of years back. | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think @larryi my Mars Volta go-to of late has been “With Twilight As My Guide”. It’s like son of “Echoes” by Pink Floyd. That’s another one that always grabbed my imagination. | |

| Room with glass windows as a walls. Good advice from @yyzsantabarbara as usual. $830 for Roon is one of the best things a hard core audiophile who is also a music lover can buy. I did. The DSP using convolution filters and all the rest can be best thought of as a priceless bonus... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? KEF Reference 1 meta. For a good bit less I also like Fritz for performance with most any amp. Mofi standmounts are a lot of bang for the buck. Not a fan in general of paying top dollar for small speakers. Size matters for full range and hard t... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In Don’t know but I have the Fosi v3 stereo amp in my little desktop system. It is a top performer. I suspect it has output limits that may not cut it with some tougher speakers to drive but have not put it to the test yet. The Fosi v3 amps are a st... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? A class d Hypex Ncore or Purifi stereo amp delivers top notch performance and can be had for under 2K. They will drive most any speakers to their max. So thats probably about it. Compact design for a small room is the icing on the cake. | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? Hey @bondmanp hope all is well. I have Sennheiser, Grado, Sony, Audio Technica, and Truth Ear IEMs which are inexpensive and awesome. I’d say Sennheiser is closest to Ohm Sound. I have original Momentums. They are also very comfortable. Having ... | |
| KEF Meta speakers vs non meta I have ls50s and ls50 metas. The metas are a notch or two better. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Yes and the earth is way too round for my personal preferences as well. Less science solves that no problem ( no pun intended). Magico with right amp and set up well is pure heaven. It takes some science to figure those parts out. Random hunch... | |
| Humminguru Nova - newest ultrasonic record cleaner I have original Humminguru. Works great, a fantastic bargain. I feel same joy using it. Not familiar with the Nova version. |
