| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? Tinnitus is all too common as many of us age. I'm in my 70s and the problem started over 20 years ago. I've got a constant 9 KHz squeal both left and right. Ran that down by using a signal generator and a set of headphones and adjusted the frequen... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? I used to own Spendor SP 1/2Es and have listened to several Harbeth models. I haven't heard the Grahams. I prefer the Spendors -- the midrange and 3-D qualities are absolutely magic. The biggest drawback is the extremely small sweet spot -- you'r... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @bigtwin -- I appreciate your points, but high wattage alone doesn't tell you anything about how an amp behaves when presented with a low impedance load of 4 ohms or under. And wattage also says nothing about the other elements of sound quality. ... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @bigtwin -- the one thing missing in the info you posted is a reference to the listening volume in the room. Not everyone wants live rock concert volume in their home. The other common mistake concerns the level of peaks above the average playbac... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers @renosteve -- you completely misread my question. The "Why?" was not inquiring as to why you were asking about speakers, but rather why you failed in multiple responses to say what speakers you currently have. For example, if you have (and lov... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers @renosteve -- you've been asked repeatedly about your current system -- particularly the speakers -- and you've given several replies without ever answering the question. Why? Keeping things a secret makes it harder to give suggestions that will... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? I have an original Schitt Aegir (20 w/ch 8 ohms) and a pair of Ohm 1000 speakers in a 15' X 24' room with a vaulted ceiling -- absolutely no problem reaching my desired listening level (85 dB average) with no hint of clipping or compressed dynamic... | |
| Aerial Speakers Always interesting to see a thread come to life again after a 10 year snooze! | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address It's an interesting quirk of human nature that some people get invested to the extreme in a cause that doesn't really affect them in any direct way, either positive or negative. The OP hasn't been forced to buy the speakers -- or even listen to th... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address Interesting that the OP has made no further comment. Was this just a drive-by shooting? | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address Already asked and still waiting for an answer, but why do you care? There are lots of companies out there that don't make their products in the manner I would choose to do so. I've got a very simple response to that -- I don't buy their products. | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed The only "easy solution" when dealing with a either a scammer or a jerk seller that is unwilling to show what is being sold is to walk away. Going forward with the transaction is a major roll of the dice. | |
| Need some treble Agree with @hifiman5 -- the Lokius gives you a bit more flexibility in the upper range. The Loki Mini does 2K and 8K in the treble while the Lokius does 2K, 6K and 16K. Keep in mind that the highest note on a piano is 4,186 Hz. Everything above th... | |
| New DAC issues @dougthebiker -- sounds like Schiit needs to adjust the length of their trial period.... ;-) | |
| New DAC issues @dougthebiker -- "Even Schiit says to play their DACs for about a month before you even listen to them." Do you have a reference for that? I've read Jason Stoddard's book and follow his online missives over at Headfi, and never seen him or Mike M... |
