| Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget? I woukd suggest the Set 400 by Van Alstein. Alot of bang for your buck at $2K!. 200 wpch in 8 ohms as well. A lot of clean, dynamic sound. | |
| I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon I would get some Ohm Walsh 3000's. The bigger Ohms would better fill your large room with their omni sound. I have a pair of 2000's for a much smaller room, 15x13, and they do a great job. I love how they fill the room with soundstage and you nee... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Try some Holly Cole, female jazz singer Canada. Best album to start Don't Smoke in Bed or Dark Dear Heart. Very good band and excellent vocalist. Also known as The Holly Cole Trio. | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range I just got a pair of the Walsh Tall 2000s and agree they sound great. The unique 360 degree aspect with super tweeters pointed at the rooms center enable everyone in the room to high quality audio. Also placement is easy and near walls is not a pr... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... The quintessential female jazz singer is Peggy Lee. Check out the album The Ultimate Peggy Lee, it is recorded very well and her style is so unique and subtle while extremely effective. Songs she made popular, 'Why dont you do right' with Benny Go... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... If you doubt there are sonic differences between amplifiers, both preamps and power amps, A/B a few. If you cannot hear any differences you are probably not going to be affected by these choices. But to me, Amp and Preamp selection, next to speake... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II One thing is for sure, those REL Tx5s are the best subwoofers you can buy for that amount of money. End of discussion. I have 4 of them for two different systems. Changed my audio world. | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? I find that being an Audiophile is a forever journey and not a final destination. You are moving up levels as you pursue better sound, things like, 'sound stage', 'punch' and 'air' start to make sense to you instead of just nodding your head. It i... | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? I have the Aria 926 in one system and Tannoy Revolution XT8s in the other. Both are great, but the Tannoy's are a little bit more lively and definitely have better bass. I paid $2388 for the Aria 926's in faux Walnut and got even a better deal on ... | |
| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) For the under $5K category and a steal at these price points:1. Tannoy Revolution XT8F(On sale now damaged / factory boxes, White Gloss only $1699 @ Upscale Audio) Reg. $2699 and a steal at that price point)2. Focal Aria 926 (with Faux Walnut Wrap... | |
| Speakers better than Revel Salon 2 I have a pair of the relatively inexpensive Focal Aria 926's. With faux walnut wrap, $2350. New Focal tweeter, smoother than their last one from what I am told, Flax drivers and glass too. Excellent sounding speakers, very musical and over 90db ef... | |
| which car is sitting in your listening room? 911 Porsche Carerra S Cabriolet..There is no substitute. | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... I went to THE Show and some rooms dissapointed. Mainly any room with Magico speakers. Now I have been doing this for a while, but they may be the moat over rated speakers I have ever heard. My brother who has a very serious audiophile ear, 100% co... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ok so after about 5 hours of digesting this thread, I pulled the trigger on some Ohm Micro Walsh Tall SE's last nite. Please note, Ohm is having a Black Friday holiday special and the last day is TODAY! I picked a pair up in Rosewood for $955 plus... | |
| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? It's funny, I think that people cannot really get over how good these sound. These are so good they are almost a *freak* and because some people don't/can't deal with it they come up with "they sound congested" or "lean Bass".Give me a break.I act... |
