| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers I bought the FR2 speakers, amp and power supply as a package. So the amp is Arche Audio Opus D50A. | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers Update - my Arche linear power supply to the amp - in a separate box - has a bit of hum, and it persists even if I place the supply below the desktop. The hum is from the box itself, not from the speakers (only if I turn speaker volume way up). Ma... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers Regarding the gap between the low range of the speakers (on paper, 100hz) and the high point of a sub (no higher than 80, or maybe 70) - is there an easy way to measure this? I could use the REW program, or Audacity, I think, but I am looking for ... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers Raised almost to ear height with 19 cm alu stands, plus more break-in, the Arche system now sounds better. Very clear and detailed. If you need to know, which of your streaming albums should you invest in, on vinyl, this system offers good orient... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers The Gallo Tr2 (also Tr1) is an interesting suggestion , thanks. A sub should not go high - agree with Atmasphere - just up to 80hz, or if possible, even lower. The lower, the less problems with integrating with the main speakers. I am not sure, ... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers Thanks all for interesting suggestions. Especially to @atmasphere – maybe I hear some Doppler effect, yes. At least, so far, these small speakers sound much better with well-recorded ‘sparse’ music than with high dynamic multi-instrument rock. Lik... | |

| I2s DSD I have recorded my best LPs to DSD for many years, with the Tascam DA-3000 as the best recorder, so far. I mainly listen to these recordings on holiday, travel etc, played back by a little DAP (Fiio x3ii). I like it, with vinyl clicks and all, but... | |
| Class A amplifier alternative? Hi Huy I invested in class a solid state for many years, but became more satisfied with tube amps, later. If you can afford them, used, the Atma-sphere ma1 monoblocs would probably get you there. Maybe, even, their 60 amp, if your speakers are e... | |
| I2s DSD Is it the case that patent rights etc are still hindering development and employment of DSD? If so, very sad. We are soon in 2022. | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ +1 from me too. Engagement - exactly. When a song moves me to tears or smiles I know I am there. The less processing the better. Never heard Adele live, but I heard Lizz Wright, somewhat in the same vein, worth checking out. I am happy with a pur... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I have ordered the Arche audio desktop system, FR2 speakers plus amp. We’ll see. I am well aware that it will be a limited design but I am interested nevertheless. For now, I want to notice the importance of stands and positioning, for desktop spe... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Thanks to @mesch and others. I will try to check out all your good suggestions, that are obviously more informed than what you get googling "best desktop speakers" and the like. I may buy the FR2 plus their matching amp. Just to know how it sounds... | |
| Is your now then? Then #1 – late 60s, 70s. Revox A77 reel to reel, Revox amp, Thorens TT, Dynaco and then Bose 901 speakers. Formative period. Looking back? Sometimes yes. But mainly nostalgic, such a sense of freedom back then, progressive and engaging music - no... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? I have some CDs I don't sell, due to good sound (Like Dr John plays the Duke) or if they are unavailable or special. Also, my SACDs, that I occasionally play on an Oppo player. But mostly, I play from CDs copied to my hard disk. I have had few pro... |
