| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Really…… if gonna come hard like that back it up. Where’s your proof of what you are saying? “Their tweeters are low-rent distortion machines, both in measurements and sound. “ | |
| What to do with dead equipment I have a local guy that’s done an Odyssey amp I blew up due to my dumbassness and added a preout to my tube integrated. Fairly inexpensive. | |
| What to do with dead equipment Sell it for parts cheapish or get it fixed. There is probably an audio tech near you that knows his sh.t. It’s not rocket science so doesn’t necessarily need to be the manufacturer that fixes it. Don’t throw it away unless you like to throw away m... | |
| REL Hum. Stumped Nice good job 👍. I was gonna suggest a cheater plug to float the ground. | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows Also I might look at Tekton. Great speakers for the money and much above IMO. Great bass and everything else. | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows +1 great choice IMO | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? They certainly can make things worse! They can also make it much better if it’s dialed in correctly and time aligned with the mains. Also the type of bass. If you have a tight fast sub with a lazy bass speaker it will probably not blend well and v... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Personally I would x Usher off the list for Metal, at least the one I had. Dynaudio are pretty goodish for metal but need some beefy amplification. Never heard the Evokes but the Focus series was really nice for that kind of music. There is a Focu... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I did the same thing and I liked the more direct dac to amp route better at first. Long term I preferred the preamp in the chain. YMMV. As others have mentioned, you might consider keeping your preamp for a bit. | |
| Floor to Bookshelf There is a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140s for sale for 600 bucks I believe. | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? @bigtwin , “@mofojo Whenever I've been the seller of speakers, they have always left my home like this. Overkill? $100 and a couple hours of my time. Only happy buyers at the other end. 😁” I’m lazy so anything large I have a real good pa... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? I like and use @bigtwin ’s approach. Also no feedback or bad feedback ratings I won’t pursue at all. I’ve probably bought 15 used speaker pairs and never had an issue with a single one. Probably only half were shipped, the rest were driveable. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice @fastfreight , “Or get one of the last pairs of Revel Salon 2's for about 10 - 12k. Besst value out there IMHO.” I don’t think his amp would be anywhere near powerful enough for the big Revels as I’ve heard they require BIG power to get them... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice What’s your main bread and butter for music type. You mentioned rock first? What kind of rock? Hard rock, metal. Everyone says a good speaker is equally good at everything and I’ve found especially on the higher end that is BS! That’s why I’ve kep... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers Ive heard open baffle speakers are not good for rock/metal? How is the mid bass on most open baffle speakers? |
