| Dynaudio Special 40 or OLD Dynaudio Focus 160? @stevenz,Have you got a chance to listen to the Special 40? It does not matter what people say here, cause it is "their" opinion. It is "your" money and hence it should solely be your decision. But I still stand by my opinion - these are really ni... | |
| Balanced Tube Preamp Recommendations for $2000 Look out for a used Backert Labs Rhumba 1.2. I believe they are selling their 1.2 version for $2.5k new. Excellent preamp which has XLR in and HT bypass. IF you purchase from them directly, they might allow for a demo. Email Andy Tebbe, who is gen... | |
| Small Floorstander? ProAc D30RS/D20RS or the Spendor D7 should meet your requirements. | |
| Proac D48R This was not an issue when the speaker was new. After 1 1/2 years I notice that any small change to the speaker placement or grill makes a big difference. | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! @blueranger ,Very strange that you would prefer the TT to SA10. Other owners have mentioned that they can finally give up on TT. But to each his own. I agree with @elizabeth that you might need a good power source for the Marantz. I wanted to upgr... | |
| Proac D48R Anyone noticed that with the grills left on the D48R, they sound slightly lost in definition, imaging is affected, bass also looses definition. At least this is what I noticed with my D48R with ribbons. The "liveliness" of music simply goes away i... | |
| A21+ is in da house... Congratulations @captbeaver.Do let us know your impressions after you put on more hours. This is one sweet amp. | |
| Ordered my new amp today... been a long road! why would i keep a piece that doesnt work in a system Because someone said you should :-) Just kidding.Enjoy your A21+. | |
| Terrible Booms @stani19,Good to know that your problems are resolved. And it is a WIN that you can keep your D40R. I don't know how to insert photos of the system to show it ... if this is possible tell me how to do! The best way to do this is to create a "syst... | |
| Terrible Booms @soundsrealaudio,I own the newer D48R and while 20Hz is too ambitious a claim, these speakers go down easily to close to 25Hz. Example is "Fading Sun" from Tejre Isungset's album "Winter Songs". I would suggest OP to rather scale down to the ProAc... | |
| Ordered my new amp today... been a long road! @captbeaver ,I am sure you will love the A21+. The A21 as such is a phenomenal amp.I see someone mention that the A21 had "little or no soundstage and muddled up the highs ". Looks like something is not right either with that particular piece th... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? I have heard both - the D30RS and D48R. I own the D48R because I had the room for it. It is in a completely league compared to the D30RS. And it better be - for the price and size. That said, if you cannot provide breathing room for the D48R, then... | |
| Terrible Booms @stani19,I don't think that your room is an issue. But your speaker placement might be. I have a pair is D48R in similarly sized room and don't have any boom. How close are your speakers to the walls on the side and behind? I have them on granite ... | |
| what would you do? @labguy,What is your room size? And same questions like elizabeth asked. The 208 are front ported. So bass can be tamed using corner treatments. And why did you go with the 208s if your room was smaller? Why did you not pose the question on this f... | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @tenchi,Good to know that they responded.So what are your thoughts about this conditioner? Any experience with other power conditioners? BTW, welcome to Audiogon! |
