| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @ghdprentice It's never happened to me either in my personal system, and for the exact reasons you mentioned, proper research and auditioning. @blisshifi I have to say the Scansonic MB2.5s showed me what could be done with a sealed ribbon twee... | |
| FREE - Magnepan LRS - to a good Home That's very nice. I'd love to see my niece go up from Ithaca, just graduated from Nazareth, but she'd never appreciate them fully. Good for you-hope you find a good young audiophile to give them to! | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? I apologize for having two small bronzes on my speakers that are not symmetrical. Funny how all the words come out whichever speaker I set her on... (that's a joke) | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet That he certainly would. (DT) :-) | |
| McCormack DNA 125 Sorry, can't comment on the DNA-125 but I owned both the DNA-1 and DNA 0.5 about ten years ago and for some dumb reason sold them. I few years ago I got lucky and picked up a DNA-1 on eBay. I'll not sell this one. I have used the DNA-1 on Raidho... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Folks can argue forever but @jmijostyn is correct. And a simple DSP room (and speaker) correction is one is the most incredible values out there. One should try it and A/B the sound without. It will take what you have to a higher lever. I will ne... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Your wife's reaction to the 5As is a true testimonial. I've head those and they are great. | |
| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair @sfgak +1 I do remember reading the Stereophile review years ago. A bit ugly for me but I was impressed at the positive listening and findings. | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Lest folks get the wrong impression, I do love the idea of having a variety of loudspeakers to listen to, and I do set up other speaker sets in my main listening room at times for fun. I still enjoy the ML SL3s, NHT 2.5is, and Elac Debut F5.2s.... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Speakers, considering the Dyanaudio Sapphires were substantially bettered in every single way but sheer dynamics when I moved to older used Raidho D2s. BUT, my DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 room correction unit with DSP took the D2s to a whole new level... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III I feel @blisshifi is giving a good assessment of both speakers. I bought new MB 2.5's in April of 2015, based entirely on hearing Raidho D1s at RMAF. I could soon tell these Borressen designed speakers had a sealed ribbon tweeter that I preferred... | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Audio is a bit different for me than other hobbies like art, music, film, literature, but motorcycling is the easiest hobby to compare. I love motorcycling and am down to five motorcycles, all very different (and very old but reliable). For motor... | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary I owned ML SL3s as mains 16 years and stlll have them, hence Maggie interest but Janszen has intrigued me and I'm sure they are great. I heard large three-way Harbeth's in a good set-up playing classical and although I'm not a classical guy much,... | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary My older used Raidho D2s are an end-gamer aside from one aspect, high volumes. I mostly play nicely and they are fabulous in every other single way, BUT, I'd love a nice $5k used quality floorstander with huge dynamics. Every once in a while, ra... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage Never needed to consider this, but if packed securely inside padded luggage, I cannot see why they would be refused. Maybe someone else knows. |
