| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @audiotroy @kmcong I’ve heard of Legacy and am intrigued after looking at their specs more in depth. Appreciate it! | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @soix @audphile1 Definitely hear you guys and better understand the limitations of my amp for sure and will find a suitable match. Despite the generalized pairing of Octave with Dynaudio those speakers love current and my amp likely struggle... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Subs with my current speakers. I’m more of a minimalist, and I know subs are always good (at least according to John Hunter from REL), but it’s “cleaner” to move to full-range floorstanding speakers. I wish they had more colors to choose from for ... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @hilroy48 I was hoping to demo the Confidence 30s, the 50s are amazing and just won TAS speaker of the year, but obviously way too big for my room. Like several posters here have said, looking into subs is a good option too. Thanks again to all... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Thank you all for some great recommendations! I don’t post much, just stalk the boards. Appreciate everyone’s time and thoughtful responses! | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @soix Thanks for starting the conversation. My room is approximately 14' wide by 23' deep, standard ceiling height (not open or vaulted), so I do have some room. I listen to mostly 50's through early-mid 60s jazz (Ben Webster and Gene Ammons are... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @soix Yes, you’re absolutely correct…I reread OPs post and it seems he does want to swap in a new amp. Sorry for mucking up your post OP, with recommendations not salient to your question! Personally, given your ideas of weight restrictions I’d ... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @mofojo Yes, I tried several other integrated amps before Octave and I love its tonal balance, very dynamic with the super black box (essentially a huge capacitor bank). You can roll several different types of output tubes, but for this amp, the... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers I own Dynaudio HS, run them with an Octave V80SE integrated tube amp (with super black box) and I love the combination. The Pass Labs INT25 or 60 and the Luxman class A integrated amps (used) would all be excellent. | |
| Power cable for AQ Niagara 5000 Agree with @ghdprentice. I own a Niagara 7000 and tried several manufacturers power cords and the AQ Dragon was easily the best. Saying that I didn’t try say an Odin cord or ones that are stratospherically expensive. With the 5000, I would start a... | |
| Integrated for Devore O/93 If you love tubes, have some coin, and a little patience here’s 2 you should check out: 1. Leben CS-600 2. Allnic T-1500, Mkii The ones on your shortlist are great, these are excellent with Devore high efficiency speakers. Cheers! | |
| 2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions Thanks for all the input...I'm leaning toward building around the PS Audio Stellar line, but I'll check out all of your suggestions, really appreciate the time! | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Seems like you love what you currently have, but have not maximized close to their potential? Like others have said, room size and treatment really matters most. It’s possible the DAWs could way underperform in your room. I’d keep the Sabrina’s, t... | |
| Integrated suggestions I own/run an Octave V80SE integrated with a super black box. I’ve not personally heard the Lab12 Integrat4 from Greece, but it’s reviews have been stellar and it retails for about $5k. I was going to give this one a serious look for a secondary sy... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X Like @audiosaurusrex I run a similar combo…Hana Umami Red on a Rega P10, into a Modwright PH150 (Dan’s reference phono), into an Octave V80SE integrated. The 9.0X is really close in performance to the PH150. I just happened to get a great deal on ... |
