| Speaker selector app. Room size? Other equipment? Size and placement restrictions? | |
| Tidal HiFi via Bowers and Wilkins BMW Tear out the system, install a new system with an intel or raspberry pi Roon server and music loaded on it. | |
| Which new amp to get? Two I don’t see on your list are Pass Labs and Bryston. | |
| Life after Rotel RX 1052 I used that receiver for about a year with a set of NHT SB3s. It worked well, but imho, was nothing special. I think it will be easy to improve on. I would not use the 1052 as a pre-amp. Either put it in your second system or sell it. I am going t... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs Bdp-24 - When properly powered there is no speaker that does drums as well as a large maggie. | |
| Fans on amps. Unsound- Dust build up is what gives that vintage sound and smell. Some would say that it is a benefit. | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs I should add, that while Maggies can output into the 30hz range, their output capability is limited. I have slapped the panels on every pair of maggies I have had when turned up and trying to reproduce lower frequency information. A crossover an... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs My two cents about subs and Maggies. I have had 5 pairs of maggies, currently 3.5s with Mye stands which were rebuilt by Magnepan last year. I have always used my Maggies with various velodynes and now Rythmik. I have run them full range with t... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Late to the discussion, but have to throw in a comment about NOS chipsets. People seemed enthralled with them right now, but in my experience (sample size of 1 comparison) that is not necessarily true. I decided to try a Schiit Bifrost MB to see... | |
| Fans on amps. Not opining on fan or no fan, but I just discovered that there is a company that makes fans for amps and racks if you end up wanting one:https://www.acinfinity.com/ | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik M-dbI owned 6 different subs from that manufacture, starting with their original 80s design. My Rythmiks represent a step forward. | |
| Preamp suggestions Congrats on the 2100, I think you will be happy. Cables- You are correct, it is a big debate. I believe that even among strong cable believers, it is agreed, that the difference between cables is minor in comparison to things like speakers, amp... | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik I am just going to chime in, please take my advice for what it is, some random guy on the internet:1) Noble 100 is absolutely right, the more subs, up to 4 (more than 4 provide marginal improvements), the better off you are in terms of smoothing ... | |
| Preamp suggestions Stumbled across a component fan. I never knew such a thing existed.https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AYAC | |
| Preamp suggestions Mrdecibel makes an excellent point, especially for someone that owens equipment long term, rather than trading around every few years. |
