| Desktop single-driver speakers? The Arche FR2 speakers now have some more playing time, and sound better, more mellow, less congested than in the beginning. At their best, they sound remarkably clear and coherent - just like I wanted, from single driver speakers. With suitable m... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I took one of the FR2 speakers down to my main listening/living room, connecting it to my Atma-sphere MA1 amp. No surprise - according to reviews - with a better amp, this speaker sounds even better. At first I was amazed, Here was this tiny speak... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers John at Arche will send me a new transformer for the power supply, to get rid of the hum problem. I changed the DAC from Fiio X3ii to Steinberg UR22, resulting in a bit more smooth sound, with slightly more deep tone, when streaming pcm from Qobu... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I am in the period of break-in of the Arche FR2 speakers - very interesting, but too early to offer judgement. A possible problem with the Audience as well as the Arche is that they are actually "overperforming". Or, put another way, they sound go... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Sorry to hear this. He was a resource for the forum. | |
| 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. |
