| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load +10 atmasphere for putting that one to rest. | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! Worth consideration is Vanatoo Transparent One Encore speakers which sound very good at low volumes. They are small powered speakers with built in DSP. Just what the doctor ordered for low volumes. Only $600 and loaded with technology to help... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Anyone know why Thiel designed such hard to drive speakers when there are so few if any amps around capable of driving them to the max? | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Very few amps are capable of handling that. In that Class D amps are very efficient, no reason to think they can't. Someone bring over a pair of Thiels and we can find out. I've considered taking the Thiel plunge armed with my BelCanto ref1000... | |
| Cheap Vibration Control Discovery Yes I have "moop" sense. Very lethal! | |
| Cheap Vibration Control Discovery -1 for the Machina Dynamica springs only because the vendor just up-voted himself. | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Hey I honestly believe OHM got home audio speaker design right with the Walsh design and its huge sweet spot (practically the whole room) and most of the rest are barking up the wrong tree, so there you go.

| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? YEs, it is a loaded question for sure....In general, audiophiles will tend to underrate things while the rest of the world will lean the other way. | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Agree the very affordable for many KEF ls50 is not up to all the tasks people might expect given all the rave but often not very comprehensive reviews.From an ’audiophile" perspective, use the little guys properly though within their limits, with ... | |
| Hi-Fi Lo-Fi Streaming and portable audio is where its mostly at these days. | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Audio Note speakers always sound wonderful set up in the corners when I hear them. Worth pointing out that pretty much any speaker can be set up similarly with corner placement. Corner placement merely boosts bass levels. So trying any otherwise b... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I mentioned small rooms only for ls50 but should also add amp matters a lot. They sounded weak and totally dreadful in my larger room off a highly regarded 180 w/ch zero feedback Class A ss amp when another agoner brought his pair over a couple of... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Hmmm well you may have jumped the shark a bit comparing the sound of ls50s to early cheap boom boxes. I’ve heard ls50s sound both very good and very bad in my home. They are not at all suited for larger rooms. In smaller rooms they can shine. For ... |
