| Past or current Green Mountain C-3 owners I've been a huge fan of Green Mountain audio speakers up until about two years ago and had various models including the Europas, Callistos, EOS HX and Continuum 1.5s. I've heard the C2s (very similar/same as C3s) on many occasions as well but act... | |
| CD Transport Question I also have the audiolab cdt 6000 and have no issues with it. I also upgraded the power cord which is plugged into a PS audio power regenerator. I still enjoy once in a while the physical aspect of looking through my cds and actually picking one... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Hi dbt, I also have the X5's and they are very good sounding as many have said. Just curious what you preferred about the X4s? Obviously the electronics, DAC and room will be much different that what you have so that would influence the sound a ... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra I have the Spatial Audio X5s and they are very dynamic, open sounding and have superb bass. I've always been a box speaker owner but after purchasing the x5s a few years ago don't see myself ever going back to box speakers. The sound is so much ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio I would also agree to refoam and not try and replace the drivers. I know Roy would also for some drivers write - , 0 , or + on the back of the drivers as he would then match the drivers and only include the same matched drivers that he individual... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I would probably go with the Sonnet Hermes as I'm sure the pricing is very similar between the Hermes and Ambre. Cees mentioned they both basically sound the same however the Hermes has a slightly larger power supply and uses the Pi4 chip instead... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I have the metrum acoustics onyx which I had upgraded with the DAC 3 chips. Cees who is the designer of both the Onyx and Morpheus mentioned that with the DAC 3 chips the Onyx is essentially equivalent to the Morpheus as they both now have 16 DAC... | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I have a streamer that is not well known but which I believe is a great value for a little over 1000 new. The Metrum Acoustics ambre streamer. It is only a streamer and has to be connected via ethernet. From what I know it is a pi based streame... | |
| Replacement woofer for Green Mouintain Audio Europa i may be wrong but believe Roy used the 4 ohm version of that woofer not the 8 ohm listed on that website. I actually have a few spare woofers, have to check but I recall Roy had sent me two extra woofers about 10 years ago. I still have the Cal... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I have the X5s and am unclear Rooze on the crossover. My understanding is that the 12 inch mid driver is blocked at 90hz so that it isn't reproducing any frequencies below 90hz and that the 12 mid bass driver does not have any crossover parts on ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers Jaymark, I have had the X5's for a year and a half now and they are truly amazing sounding now that I've had over 500 hours on them. You mention you had the upgraded crossover in your speakers, are you saying that you ordered them with the VH oda... | |
| Picking an Open Baffle speaker for 2w SET amp - plus bonus question !?! I've actually recently ordered the 2.3 watt Decware integrated amplifier with a few modifications and the waiting list is about 10 months. I have Spatial Audio X5 open baffle speakers that are 97 db 8 ohm speakers. The woofers are powered by int... | |
| Need service for Metrum DAC. Company seems defunct. Metrum is still very much in business. I've had recent discussions with both Cees and Roelof Lochmans who both returned my emails quickly and were of great assistance.Roelofs email is roelof@metrumacoustics.comI just recently upgraded my Metrum O... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable HI,I have to sort of concur with Ozzy. I also purchased the Fideliums and had them in my system for two months. I read all the great reviews and was really looking forward to a possible upgrade from my previous speaker cables. In my system I als... | |
| I heard the Box Honestly I think you get used to the sound of the box listening to so many box speakers throughout your audio life. I never thought I could hear the box until I finally purchased spatial audio x5 open baffle speakers. Once you hear a properly de... |
