| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 I have a set of SE's. Love them . I tried a set of Tektons DI's and sent them back . And , we listen to them loud ( not always) and usually with mild rock and roll and jazz. Just purchased a Marantz 8805 ( from a 8801) . I was happy with the 88... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Isn't Audyssey a tone control ? I'm purchasing a Marantz 8805 mainly for the adjustability on the new Audyssey app so I can get away from that default "flat" setting that they have as a standard. Sounds like most of you like that flat setting . I... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I was thinking of you guys today. While driving down the road listening to Sirius XM. (I listen to a channel called Deep Tracks. Off the wall,lesser played, mostly older rock and roll ). Joe Walsh,of the Eagles fame, was saying that while mixing i... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? How many on here listen to their music in pure mode? I can’t stand that sound. I have auditioned some speakers and the pre-amps that were being used had NO tone controls.! That’s the first thing I head for, is the thump and the sizzle. And nothin... | |

| 5-10k budget... so many choices As someone who just recently had a 2 week in home demo of the Tekton DI with upgrades, I’ll say this . There is absolutely no comparison (when compared to) our newest member of the family ... Legacy Focus SE’s. Not even close. ..... They cost more... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? Nakamichi BX 300 Cassette Player, B&O Bang and Olfeson Beogram turntable . | |
| Brands that have the least depreciation I’ll say Ascend Acoustics for sure. Not so sure you would consider 3000 dollar speakers ’high end ’ or not.. You rarely see them for sale. I listed a set a set of Raal Towers on AVS forum @ 5 o’clock in the evening. In the morning when I got up, 6... | |
