| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? I never rely on anyone when they say " blows them out of the water ". It is all opinion, and I disagree. Crank any drum recording, such as the Sheffield drum record to peaks of 110 db, and they will fall apart. It depends on what you want. But, l... | |
| Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub dweller, that is another way to do it, but imo, might confuse the op to what he would want, as there are some design differences. Just a few, lol. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier I contacted the designer, via email, about using his amp with my modified Klipsch Lascalas, ( 104 db ) and he indicated the gain switch was for situations such as this. I obviously do not need this much power, although I have had monster sized amp... | |
| Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub Show your wife pictures of some other larger speakers and she will change her mind. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @tom_hankins If you read above, the OP did audition the SHL5s and gave his impressions. He would consider them, used, and would use a sub with them. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? Lascala IIs, that is the ticket. Or Volti Rivals. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| CD player just tanked. It can be a defect, but some cds were recorded with the HDCD process, without any indication of it. Try a book on the Sony ( even without changing the feet, and see ( hear ), if you can hear a difference. Do it while a cd is playing. A hard covere... | |
| CD player just tanked. n80 More, the analog output stage, but yes, the digital section feeding the analog output section ( toasted ). If the digital stage was completely toasted, it would not feed the Rotel. The Arcam is now being used as a transport, and there are good... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall The Forte does have that rear passive, so, only experimentation in the particular room will tell ya. I believe the Heresy is better against the wall, with a sub or 2. Overall, it does depend on what you want ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| CD player just tanked. @n80 If the Rotel preamp or the Onkyo receiver has a built in dac, you can take a simple rca to rca cable and see if the Arcam’s coax digital out works. If it does, you can use it as a transport. If you are not hearing much difference between the ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Well, I just ordered another from Audio Advisor, as, I do not know how long these will be available. I wish I was excellent with words, because I would give this amp a tremendously positive review. It really possesses all of the great attributes o... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? A pair of Klipsch Lascala ( I own ), ( or Belle, if you can find a pair ), with a few modifications and updates, will certainly take care of every desire you want, and, you already have a subwoofer ( although I prefer a pair ). The Heresy and Corn... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I have run 3 different dacs, 4 different tuners, a Samsung cable box, and a laptop from it’s headphone jack, through the passive, all with excellent results. I have also used 4 of my power amps, again, all with excellent results. If I am listening... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Well, it seems to me the gain issue ( voltage ) has just be proven by kosst's last post, taken from Nelson Pass himself. Take care of the impedance issue, using buffers ( 0 gain ) and the source can drive most power amps quite well. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @geoffkait Yes, another one. We should start a new thread on mondegreens......it is not just in music......Enjoy ! MrD. |
