| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! I saw that Creek at CAF last year (on display but not playing) and almost bought one on the spot except I didn’t in that I have too many integrated amps already. | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? Hmm I think you get a lot of very good speaker for the price in general with Mofi. Size matters with speakers. The more of a good thing the better in general. Also a sourcepoint matters when it comes to coherency of sound. Mofi gives... | |
| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? Of course not. The best solutions are carefully designed not haphazardly thrown together based mainly on price. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations These newer GanFET class D amps are an option I use and can recommend trying. https://classdaudio.com Small, cost effective and should be up to the task. Also US made to-boot. | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers I’ve owned Dynaudio speakers and like them very much. Yes in general they will sound best with an amp capable of delivering more power and current. Sounds like tube amps have been correctly ruled out for this case so I think you are on the righ... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers 84kohm+ amp input impedance should work well with most any pre-amp. | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair @julesg13th those are sold direct not via dealer. Last I checked there is a return policy designed to allow in home audition, which is the best kind to know for sure. | |

| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? The Volti’s I have heard at shows including Razz are also very good and pass the mapman litmus test for speakers I would consider owning. I recall in every case there was decent distance to walls involved with Volti. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Getting a handle on room acoustics should always be job # 1 for any serious "audiophile" before making any changes, but otherwise, biases in sound preference is perfectly fine. No need to control that any more than biases in people’s favorite sou... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Cornwall is designed to be close to wall but being close to wall is an inherent limitation when it comes to imaging, soundstage, etc. So personally, if I needed speakers very close to the wall I have heard Cornwalls, liked them for what they a... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Regarding good sound and music genres, I tend to agree with what @atmasphere has asserted often over the years: a good system sounds good with all kinds of music and genres, acoustic or electronic. Having said that I get it where some lean tow... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? BTW @nutty congrats on one of the longest ongoing threads in these parts, now in its 10th year! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? That’s nothing compared to when Morton Downey Jr. teamed up with Lemmy. | |
| Roy Thomas Baker has passed away The guys behind the scenes like him do not get enough credit. |
