| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Charles I know you're not. We agree that individual personal tastes vary. | |
| First Watt with KEF LS50s Budget?If an integrated what other features might be of interest? That’s a big factor there. Some I find of interest are built in DAC, phono, headphone amp and even Bluetooth. | |
| First Watt with KEF LS50s Budget?Also please remind if you tried the HAlo amp with this setup and if so what was the issue there? I would think that to be a very suitable amp in your case.Though I am less familiar with it the Proceed would appear to be quite suitable on pa... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Benjie, Not a problem. Thanks for fessing up to a mistake. Does not happen in this world as often as it should. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? benjie you are putting words in my mouth. I heard no difference at all. Just results that did not live up to the hype no matter how much gear was packed in there. Granted I was not impressed enough to stick around long given my limited time there.... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I heard HFC room at Capital Audiofest last year. Was looking forward to it greatly given all the hype.Small room, giant speakers, magnets everywhere, pretty good sound but nothing special except lots of gear and sound in a very tiny room that fran... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Charles being happy or not is a purely individual subjective determination. Its fine as a personal recommendation to like minded individuals but not reliable to predict what will happen with the next random guy who tries. How many people are "happ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I’ve had great luck with Amazonbasics digital wires.Here’s the thing about Amazon. Everyone knows this company has their act together and does most things right usually sooner rather than later. Nothing Amazon brand that has been around for any ex... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? it is all ones and zeros and either thy arrive or they don’tDyna you definitely jumped the shark a bit here when it comes to digital sound. There is more to it than that. The right ones need to arrive at the right time. Also the ones and zeros mus... | |
| First Watt with KEF LS50s CRossing over at 80hz still leaves a fair amount of bass up to the low power amp and inefficient speakers. I’d predict sound with less impact or thinner than might be possible otherwise. If you check the audio frequency chart you’ll see upper bass... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I’m sure the expensive ones are better made. Probably come in a nice expensive package as well.Sound better? I’d have to hear in my system to know. Do I get good odds if I bet on the poor ordinary wire?What if its a tie? | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Placebos actually add more value but the shoe fits. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Wolf there is that but there also is some science to back it up in many cases. It's a lot like esoteric tweaks. Some make sense some do not and individual mileage will likely vary regardless. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Or there is no or little difference to hear. Conveniently forgot that one didn't you placebo man? | |
| First Watt with KEF LS50s First watt is best for high efficiency speakers which kef Ls 50 is not. Crossing over high at 80hz will help a lot. Could be suitable but probably still not optimal. Use of subs will make for better results in larger room for sure. |
