| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @ mayoradamwest, I had auditioned the B&W 805 and 804 D3 series with the PSB Imagine T3s. They sounded bright - only when I compared the treble to the T3. I did not compare them to any other loudspeakers I auditioned. Do you think you would ha... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @mayoradamwest,If you narrowed it down to the 3 speakers you listed, I suggest that you go and listen to these speakers, instead of getting opinions. Loudspeakers are the most critical components in an audio chain. Make sure that you pair the corr... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @audiotroy , @yyzsantabarbara,Very surprisingly I took 2 years to look for the right loudspeakers for me. Listened to tons of speakers discussed here and ended up with ProAcs. And I did multiple audition of these loudspeakers to make sure that I m... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Seriously, why speak negatively and self-serving? Because KEF, B&W and Focals provide higher margins to audiotroy? | |
| Trouble Contacting Clear Day Cables I had tried to reach Paul a couple of months back, but no response. While it was true that he was getting better he mentioned to me that it is taking more time to heal after his surgery. I hope Paul is doing alright and is back soon. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... @sbrownnw ,ProAcs are really natural sounding loudspeakers. Completely agreed on the string instruments on ProAcs.From reviews it seems Tektons are nice loudspeakers, but I cannot simply have that much bulk in my room. | |
| Proac Response D30 DS @itzhak1969,Yes, it was the D30RS that got me started on the ProAcs. The first time I listened to it was at AXPONA 2015. I requested the following song to be played:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K2yQQ3xwdEThe room literally shook with the deep ... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 @andrei_nz,As a owner of ProAc D48R, I encourage you to seek out this loudspeaker and audition it at least once. If you are considering the Spendor D9, then these you should not miss these ones. | |
| Simaudio Moon 740P preamp vs. Ayre KX-5 Twenty Why don't you like tube preamps? I am asking because I am thinking of trying a tube preamp.Thanks! | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @1markr ,I was not talking about the Backert. I was talking about "tube preamps" in general. I would not like to loose the pace and clarity of my system. Warmth - no issues - I was told that ProAcs are meant for that. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp Folks,One question - when I think about tubes and the demos at audio shows it was always some vocals or smokey jazz or classical. But I do occasionally listen (and I am not bashful about it) to Michael Jackson, George Michael, etc - so pop from 80... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp Thank You @audiothesis and @philipwu @philipwu ,Do you have the Rhythm 1.1 or the 1.2? Like hifiman5, I would like to hear about the differences between your Rhythm and the Rhumba that you previously owned. Now was that Rhumba 1.1 or 1.2? | |
| Proac Response D30 DS @itzhak1969, Congratulations on the new ProAcs. Would love to see your setup here on the Gon. Use moderate volume to break them in. You are in for a treat.I believe your ProAcs have Ribbon tweeters? | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @bdp24 ,Thank You for letting me know about EAR. I will research a bit and find more information. Yes, who does not know Tim de Paravicino. I do have a few Water Lily SACDs. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @axo0oxa ,Yes, I spoke to Andy about the polarity and he did mention that it was correct polarity with the new models. But he did not mention anything about the "true balanced" design for XLR. In fact, if you go to the following page, it mentions ... |
