| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more I own the Studio 100 v5 and am very happy with their performance with my Jolida tube separates. I can’t comment on the v2’s but the v5’s are what I’d call a very smooth speaker. They don’t go real deep but then again my room is not well treated. T... | |
| Make Magnepan LRS Better I’d say the LRS are a great pair of speakers for $650.00. Not sure making them a $2500.00 speaker is a good value. Why not get the 1.7i’s for the same price? | |
| Magico Customer service OP, I would caution you to not listen to anyone on this forum. There is zero objectivity and many of the posters work at or own hifi stores and are biased against lines they don’t carry and compete against. Go to some other audiophile forum for th... | |
| Low power- transparency, dimension, dynamics and bass, or... Why aren’t low watt tube amps transparent? | |
| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers 87db speakers do not require 100’s of watts. My current speakers are rated at 88db and are easily pushed by my 100 watt tube amp. | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? There’s a reason reviewers don’t do any of this. They review them in their homes so the sound is room dependent to begin. Second each of us has our own subjective sense of what sounds best. | |
| Michael Fremer's system The mess would drive me crazy but that’s on me. He seems like a very down to earth and honest guy. Magnificent hifi. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Feels like the OP is trolling us. As said, tube components are not ideal for HT applications. Buy a SS amp and move on. ARC will not be offended. | |
| $5k or less speakers (used or new)? Another Salk recommendation. Also the great Magnepan 1.7’s. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought $15k is a great price point. There are many great choices. Haven’t heard all of these but I’d like to.Audio Solutions Figaro XLDeVore Gibbon XHarbeth M40.2 is a favorite of mine,Larsen 9 is amazing,Magico A3Maggie 20.7Paradigm Persona 5F is anothe... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? As said, high cost and very limited selection. Also, reliability and cost to repair. | |
| Revel f208, dead center image but everything jumbled up? Sounds like a break in and room positioning issue. Nearly every speaker needs hours of break in time. Next, the OP hasn’t told us about the room set up or the position of the speakers. The latter is likely causing the issues. | |
| Paradigm Persona 5F The Persona’s sounded spectacular with Anthem electronics when I heard them in 2018 at Axpona. This is to be expected as the 2 companies are related. The Anthem electronics I heard have a form of room correction to help dial them in. A great match... | |
| Which belt-driven table to play Rock vinyl? What kind of fiddling? With my Scout II, set up cartridge, level and go. No fiddling. | |
| Which belt-driven table to play Rock vinyl? I agree that the brand or type of turntable is unrelated to the genre. Why does the OP think VPI turntables are fiddly? I have a Scout ll and it’s not at all temperamental or hard to deal with. |
