| Best used integrated for under $5000 Based on what I heard at AXPONA, you'd do well to save up a bit more and go for a Mark Levinson 585 integrated. Used units are getting down to the ~$6,500 range. Just, wow! | |
| Tube amp/integrated with bass grip for Aerial 7Ts Head over to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest next month and listen to the Raven Audio tube amps powering the Legacy Audio speakers! Dave of Raven Audio will take care of you. Take a look at and listen to the Reflection integrated amp! | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not Revel Concerta2 F36? There are two used sets of them here on Agon. | |
| Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3 I don't see how people can enjoy speakers that they know perfectly well are "coloring" the sound, which by definition means they are not hearing what is on the recording. Seems like it would be too much cognitive dissonance. | |
| $20k speakers that really impressed you Lol, they’re not $20k, but the new Revel F228Be that I heard at AXPONA impressed the heck out out of me! I think used sets can now be found around $7k. I recently was able to audition a set of Rockport Aquila in Houston, which I think originally... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho @ rhale64Lol, if the price is right, maybe I'll take the 228s off your hands! And when you get tired of your 3Fs..... | |
| Revel F228BE Most reports from those who have heard them are extremely positive. There have been a lot of comments on them after they were displayed at AXPONA in April. I thought they sounded excellent, paired with the Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp. They... | |
| $20k speakers that really impressed you Not sure they will be $6k-$7k in a few years, but the Legacy Audio Aeris are just phenomenal when set up optimally. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 @ soix, marrduk24I heard that set of Rockport Aquila in Houston, and at that price, that has to be the deal of the century! The owner was a gracious host for the audition and is great to work with. The only issue is, those things are BIG speaker... | |
| Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it? @ jafantThanks. I haven't done anything yet. My daughter just started college last week, so I'm having trouble justifying a big purchase right now. Actually, what I have now identified and am lusting for is the Mark Levinson 526 pre-amp. It's ... | |
| SS Preamp to go with Revel Salon 2s Since some of your options include DACs, the new Anthem STR pre-amp is getting good reviews, and has a nice DAC and phono input. And HT bypass, of course. | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @ nathansaudioYes, that larger mid driver on the Aeris is just awesome. When set up optimally, the Aeris can render male baritone voice and lower mid frequencies like no other that I've heard. Try Leonard Cohen's Alleluia and some of Boz Scaggs ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Well, to me there is a problem with this whole notion. I mean, different instruments will their produce their signature timbre at different frequencies. Is this not correct? Wouldn't a flute's timbre be reproduced at a higher frequency than a c... | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request Seems like you're looking around the $7k price range. I'd add to your list:Used Revel F228be, if you can find a setLegacy Audio Signature SEUsed Paradigm Persona 3F | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 @ fast"The MAs do not provide as much instrumental detail but they do have a more mellow, deeper, broader sound"I have to say, you perfectly nailed my impression of the PL 300 II when I heard them in Houston. It seemed like they had way too much ... |
