| Just confused about where to start @willemj Sorry, guess I didn't tag you in my blurb about the headphone amp. https://www.schiit-europe.com/index.php/producten/lyr-2-high-power-tube-hybrid-or-solid-state-headam...This is the amp. It's stated that it can be used as a preamp with "p... | |
| Just confused about where to start I got them!https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8gig3-snell-m-7-stand-mount-monitor-speakers-monitors?show_list...$500 in the hole, I can stretch my budget up to $1500, but I’d like to keep it under $1000 if possible. Thanks so much @jond for the ... | |
| Just confused about where to start @jond hmm...so I don't need a beefy 300w power amp then? I'm afraid I'll underpower the speakers so that they can't be cranked when need be. | |
| Just confused about where to start @tls49 the salesman used the same amp and simply swapped out the speakers for me. The amp was McIntosh’s brand new hybrid modelhttps://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/integrated-amplifiers/MA252Very nice tubey sound with the amp, and quite synergist... | |
| Just confused about where to start @lowrider57 Thank you,. Fingers crossed I get these. | |
| Just confused about where to start @lowrider57 https://content.abt.com/documents/8800/M7_cut-sheet.pdfAt 16"x13"x8", they're massive for bookshelf speakers | |
| Just confused about where to start @lowrider57 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8gig3-snell-m-7-stand-mount-monitor-speakers-monitorsAt 28 lbs each and having a recommended power rating of 100-300w it looks like I'm gonna have a field day finding an amp for these. I didn't buy ... | |
| Just confused about where to start @jond Thank you. Buying used is something I enjoy because of the recovery of costs in the event of resale, and the fun in hunting for deals. I just made an offer for the speakers, hope I get them. Would it be best if I match receivers to speakers ... | |
| Just confused about where to start @lowrider57 I forgot what it was. But it was around $1200 retail. | |
| Just confused about where to start @lowrider57 Sorry, I forgot to mention they were the Ls50 wireless model. Likely a different sound than the passive model, I would imagine. My experience with powered speakers hasn't been that great, but maybe I'm not listening to the right models. | |
| Just confused about where to start I have $3000 in headphone gear, which is well beyond the point of diminishing marginal returns. There's really nowhere for me to go from where I am with those. One other reason I want speakers is because I like listening to music with friends. As ... | |
| Just confused about where to start OK, just got back from best buy...Listened to the Kef LS50’s and thought they sounded like hot garbage. Dark, muddy, poor articulation. No way they’re worth $1000. I listened to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 15’s...sounded great. Almost as good as... | |
| Just confused about where to start @timlub fantastic. I think I'm going to go used to save a couple hundred. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. | |
| Just confused about where to start @timlub ok, sounds like I'll give the ELAC setup a go. I'm going to listen to some speakers today at some more HIFI stores, so maybe I'll find something else in the $1000 range. Otherwise, it sounds like that's the best option. One more question: ... | |
| Just confused about where to start @glennewdick So suppose I go the powered speakers route: are there any major concessions being made over bookshelf speakers? I'm seeing the LS50's for $800 used right now, so that means I could spend a bit more. |
