| Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music Yes, get a universal disc player, so as to access SACD and DVD-Audio titles.And I was also going to say check out 3M Audio there in Houston. Setting up a $15K system is not to be trifled with, and a dealer like that has set up tons of them. | |
| Levinson 5805 I think the OP's 5805 is under warranty! So, no repair bill. | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? I use my laptop pc to my DAC, which works pretty well. I don't know how much help you'll get on agon, but I bet you'll get a ton of replies on steve hoffman forum. | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! I'm also interested in a new AVR with HDMI 2.0 4K, since my current AVR requires me to run two HDMI cables from my Oppo UHD Blu-ray player, one to the TV and one to the AVR. What I'm looking at is the Onkyo TX-RZ920, which is available for $989 ... | |
| Is a stereo system a tougher sale to young people? Not one of my four children has any interest in audio systems, despite growing up with decent system always in our house. They seem quite happy to listen to Spotify quality over ear buds or just out of their cell phone speaker. They are less mat... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Well, just don’t go to AXPONA, lol!!! In answer to your original question, it can get really, really good. But it will cost you! | |
| WHARFEDALE EVO 4.2 - any info? This video of the EVO 4.2 just went up on YouTube. This guy is a European audio dealer and always gets the most incredible sound in his video demos, and the 4.2s are no exception! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_91JbvG-Ew | |

| Focal Aria sounds muffled and far away being run on a denon AVR-X3400H IMO, Aria 926 should not be too hard for a decent AVR to drive clearly. They certainly should not sound "muffled". Something else must be amiss. If you have not done so, try a CD and select Direct or Pure Direct mode on the Denon, which will by... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR @elberoth2 Thanks for the link to the review. Ugghh. Looks like I made a bad choice in buying the Stellar Gain Cell DAC/pre-amp. Interestingly, when using the DAC function, it sounds pretty good on quiet and simple music, but when the music get... | |
| Upgrading speakers in HT/2 channel system Seems like Dynaudio Contour 60 might meet your requirements. The Focals you mentioned are older models and some say their beryllium tweeters are pretty bright, at least brighter than those in the new Kanta line. Used Focal Sopra No 2 are now sta... | |
| AMT tweeters I'm interested in the new Wharfedale EVO line, with their implementation of AMT tweeter. You can get their EVO 4.2 for $999/pair, which is about half the price of the Monitor Gold 100. It is a substantial speaker. A number of people who heard t... | |
| Loudspeaker Recommendations: Standmount or Small Footprint Floorstanding under $2k If I were you, I would try out a set of the new Wharfedale EVO4.3 towers, with their AMT tweeter. They showed them at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and they got really high marks for the price. That tweeter is really good. And they don't ... | |
