| Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help Paradigm Founder 120H. Very complete speaker. I had the Triton 1 for around a year and a half. They were pretty goodish. Tekton DIs knocked them off the shelf. Had several speakers after that and always missed the Tektons. The Paradigms I can conf... | |
| Micromega M-100/150 I had an M100 for a while. I don’t recall any weird clicks or noises when turning on. | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Speakers | |
| Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp Just got a Naim NAC N272 on a trade. Running it into a Pass XA30.5. It’s very very good IMO. Just being phased out but has been a 6k model since 2016. Can pick one up for $1500 or so now used. Steal for that price. | |
| Amp for Persona B Speakers @jaybe , im surprised the 30.5 is not damn near the perfect amp for those speakers. You might be disappointed as that amp is killer especially to tone down a wily speaker. | |
| JL Audio Fathom V3 Sub in development??? Maybe they will match the build quality of components with the sound this time! Too many failures in the field. Sent my V1 in for the $400 fix and worked fine for about a month or 2.Hum is back off and on and auto cal doesn’t work now. It’s not 40... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids If you list what you have had in the past it would give some kind of reference. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used If you would consider a powered bass section might look at the Paradigm Founder 120H. Very detailed and textured with bass that you can feel. Once you run Arc for room correction you can also make some adjustments. I have a 2db boost I put in at 8... | |
| Changing Tweeter on Olympica 3 I wouldn’t worry about it. They aren’t very old. After a few days break in everything should be just fine. | |
| GoldenEar One.R vs. Wilson Watt Puppy 7s When I had Triton Ones I found high damping factor ss amps sounded much better than tubes. Might be something to try. Can buy a descent old Adcom or the like for 500 bucks and give it a try. Never heard the WP7s. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I just heard the studio electric M5 a few weeks ago when I bought an amp. It was really good. I bet the M4 is great as well. If the Tads are anything like the S1ex I had I would pass for my tastes. Still use the same “high tech” drivers but probab... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! If it was competently designed with with descent components don’t touch it. Not even close to being ready for a recap IMO. | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? I like spades most of the time. If it’s a stiff cable and there is stress on the insert position they will come loose and potentially cause a short. That’s the downside to me. I check them occasionally and give them a firm twist. | |
| New speakers for a new start? I would add Paradigm Founder 120h to your list. From your list of wants in a speaker IMO it checks all the boxes. | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference @henryeng , I had the Triton Ones for over a year. Not the 1R I know but the Founders IMO are better from my memory. I want to say much better but they aren’t side by side. @avanti1960 , I am going to play with this in the next 2 days and... |
