| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @itzhak1969,I have a feeling that OP was always gravitated towards the D9 because the D48R caused issues in his room. Note the following question he is asking: Question for any D9 owners out there, how long did they take to fully run in ? I assum... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed I used to own a dual mono TVC which I sold. The new owner claims that it bested a $12k Bespoke TVC. A TVC is a step-down attenuator, is what I understand. So the signal from source is toned down before being sent to the power amp.I was pretty happ... | |
| Axpona Show 2019 Can one of you gentlemen be kind enough to check out the Technics SL-G700 Network/SACD player and share your thoughts? | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @seadog77,Congratulations on finalizing your choice :-)Please do post some pics of your system once you receive those D9s.Have fun. | |
| What is the one piece of advice you would give about attending AXPONA? Great advise by everyone.If you like a product exceptionally well, take a pic or 2 so that you can remember what you really "fell for". This is for future buying decision.I also suggest to keep Shazam OR Sound Hound handy. That way you are automat... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @rsf507 ,Very strange because I did listen to the Spendor D7 and they did not seem to lack in midrange or fullness. I am assuming that equipment makes a difference. The D7 I listened to had $$$$ MBL amp, preamp and CD player feeding them. In rea... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Based on your last post, it looks like you have more praises on the ProAc than the D9. But if the bass does not work for you, then go with the D9. Did you try the song I suggested? That should be a good test of what is "listenable" in your environ... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @seadog77,Did you make a decision yet? Since you mentioned that you cannot place the D48Rs away from the wall, I suggest that you play the "Thanks To You" song by Boz Scaggs on both the loudspeakers and decide which loudspeaker you should buy. Try... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @seagod77,I am slightly perplexed - you have a bigger room size than me. Is there a limitation as to why you cannot pull the speakers more than the distance you specified? While true that overall room size is bigger, the distance to back and side ... | |
| Why are you into hi end audio? I have always been attracted to live music. Anything that vaguely sounds like music and rhythm, attracts me. There could be a guy doing a solo act with plastic drums and singing - I stop and listen. Fascination for "music in general" and trying to... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @seadog77,You are doing the right thing. I recollect that you were struggling with this in Dec last year. Great move to audition the speakers in your home. I envy you :-)The problem with opinions is they could bias your thoughts. So I had listened... | |
| Want my OPPO UDP-205 to sound as good as my Sony SCD-777ES Sell the Oppo for a premium and use the money to buy a dedicated CD/SACD player.I have no complaints with my Oppo. It sounds better than the dedicated SACD player I once owned. Good luck. | |
| SACD drive sources Not sure why you are worried about the drives. As long as the manufacturers are making SACD players, you should be able to play your SACD. Technics is coming out with a new SACD player SL-G700. I think new SACD titles are being released every m... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @ptss,Agreed. Oppo units last a long time. My 970HD from 2007 is still running.Honestly I like what I am hearing. Folks do mention that the Oppo does not compare to a CD-only player. Problem is - I do not know how many of these folks have actually... | |
| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged @gnoworyta,I use the same amp with my D48R and after your thread I am getting a bit worried. Did you try the amp with another set of speakers, if you have them? Did you switch off the complete system, wait for a few minutes (maybe an hour, etc), u... |
