| Schiit Freya Plus tubes and tube rolling This is rather strange for me, but I agree with George. | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen kenjit,You should let Richard Vandersteen know that he has been doing it all wrong for the lasts 40 years and several hundred thousand pairs of speakers. Maybe you can show him how to design a proper cross-over while you are at it as well as what... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I guess then, I am not sure what the point is of your post. It appears based on your second post that your budget is about $400-500 for speakers and an unknown amount for an amp. At that level, you really should be comparing a pair of Vandersteen ... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I have owned multiple pairs of both Maggies and Vandies. Your comparison really isn't fair as to either. Just a few of the issues:1) Same room or different room.2) Comparing a $2,000 speaker to a $15,000 speaker. Did you listen to the 1ci or ... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Oh boy, here we go. | |
| Anybody have experience with Bavsound? I ran their replacement speakers in an E39. Keeping in mind they were designed to drop into the stop slots, work with the stock amp and crossovers, they were a good value. They were much more open sounding than the stock speakers, without being ... | |
| Purchased new speakers, need amp suggestion Schiit Vidar or Parasound would be my choices. | |
| Infinity kappa 7.1 upgrade help! Most likely the polydome midrange has degraded. Your best avenue is to have it rebuilt, as they are very good sounding speakers when working properly. Millersound offers a rebuild service. http://www.millersound.net/infinity-kappa-polydome-re... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? I believe John Curl refers to 7th order harmonics as the “devil’s 7th” and attributes a lot of what is heard as harshness to excessive 7th order harmonics. | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt danielle231973,For trying to sell your speakers you are best off placing an ad on Audiogon or in your local craigslist. There are also other audio focused sites that you can place advertisements. | |
| RCA or XLR Using the SYS as the preamp is not a bad idea. I calculated out the gain on the Aurum (75 mv input sensitivity with a max output of 16v) and it is an insane 47 db. To give you an idea, with a CD source, there is virtually no amplifier that requi... | |
| RCA or XLR They are balanced but using them will only make your gain issue worse. You can add attenuators inline which will pad the level down and give you better use of your volume knob range and get it where it is more linear. https://www.parts-express.c... | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt I don't trust ANY dealer or manufacturer (be it audio, automobiles, appliances, sporting goods, etc.) who would badmouth his competition.Once I hear that crap my money goes flying out the door never to return. How stupid (or desperate) can some ... | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt You might try the F36 in that room, they will have a bit more bass extension and capability. The F36 is a great speaker, I ran a set last year while having my Magnepans rebuilt. Nicely balanced, good bass extension (found them adequate without a s... | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt Crap dealers have been saying things like this about products they don’t carry. It is as old as sales. Good dealers will say instead, “they make a good product, but I believe xxxx that we carry is better, would you like to hear them.” |
