| LA AS Cancelled Wow, for an audio market that size, I'd think there would be more than 35. | |
| Lone Star Audio Fest is this weekend in Dallas! Free admission. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Yes, the JWM speakers seem to defy the laws of physics, with their incredible bass power, definition, and extension, all the while throwing a huge, clear and detailed sound stage and fantastic vocals. Sadly, as I... | |
| LA AS Cancelled Wasn't one of these LA audio shows cancelled last year as well? | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? A lot of people are raving about the new Elac Debut 2.0 series book shelf speakers for having great audio for the price. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Well, since you say you "really like audio jewelry", they are expensive as all get out, but perhaps the most beautiful speakers I saw at AXPONA were the Tidal Piano G2. The wood grain finish is gorgeous, and the metal trim around the drivers is qu... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers A shout out to you for the great write up! Having heard many of these speakers recently at AXPONA, I can largely concur with your impressions. And I appreciate your reports on those speakers that I'v not heard.One additional contender that was r... | |
| Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated? I have heard the 8900 but not the 7900. I also heard what they call a "receiver", I think it was the MAC 6700. The two that I heard had all kinds of power, but didn't seem special in terms of musicality, sound stage and imaging, and/or moving me... | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? At ~$11K, you may as well look at Focal Sopra No. 2. There is a set for sale here for just under $10K. Another nice option might be Sonus Faber Olympica III, a set of which is posted here for $7500. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Yeah, Salon 2 is a fantastic bargain if you can get a nice set at the prices you mention. I heard the A3 at AXPONA, but the room was so crowded that I couldn't get to a nice seated position. Some people raved about them and others thought they w... | |
| Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s! Well, it's above your budget, but if you can save up some more, at AXPONA last weekend I heard the Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with Revel F228Be speakers. It was such a simple system, compared to most of the systems there, but wow, the sound... | |
| Magico A3 Heard them at AXPONA last weekend, but there were so many people in the room and I couldn't get into a prime seating position. From where I was, they didn't sound better than the other new entries at the ~$10K price mark, i.e., Paradigm Persona 3... | |
| So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR, @ snafujgWell, that's true, but in my situation, I've never had any audio equipment that even approaches the audio quality that I heard out of that room. So, I feel like the DAC in the 585 might be great for me for some time. Also, I suspect tha... | |
| Axpona 2018 laserjock,I didn't hear the M126Be, but the F228Be was fantastic. They were paired with a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp and a streamer. The sound was beautiful. | |
| So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR, Wow, at AXPONA, I heard the Mark Levinson 585, and it may relegate all my other options to the dust bin. Although admittedly more expensive, the Mark Levinson 585 integrated sounded awesome in a very simple system. All it consisted of was the 585,... | |
| Axpona 2018 Will you be there? I'm here for the the weekend! Yesterday, I mostly checked out the big rooms down on the first and second levels. The big Von Schweikert and Wilson Audio rooms are incredible. |
