| Von Schweikert Event at New Life Audio, Day 2 It’s a shame that when Albert came out with the original VR4 (and even the Counterpoint Clearfield Metropolitan before that) that he was building speakers for the average working stiff. Now the entry point is 12K for a speaker that (on first glanc... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @avanti1960 I have never heard the Benchmark amps, but what you describe is exactly what their preamp sounds like. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... For a system geared more towards music, I would choose different speakers, electronics and speaker placement. But at least you are a good sport about all this. | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? Secretionguy gets a lot of it wrong. No surprise here…. | |

| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Room and components are still indicative of home theater. When you try to do both in one room, compromises will be made. And you have obviously compromised music for movies. No problem with that as long as you are ok with it. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... I agree with @soix The room looks like a joke. I guess it might be a good home theater situation. But serious music listening? Nah. With that in mind, just get the cheapest, most powerful amplifier you can find. It will be perfectly fine for expl... | |

| Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache. Treat your room and buy better front end equipment and amplification. Anything else is a band aid. | |

| Burn in vs perception I am still in the honeymoon stage with a new 300B amp. As of now I have about 40 hours on it. Last night I could clearly hear that something was different. The dynamics just opened up in a big way. The sound out of the box was very good, but maybe... | |
| Somewhat of an oxymoron - speaker stands for the floor for bookshelf speakers. It's not always about looks. In some instances a monitor will be a better fit for a given room. And subs are easier to dial in when placed in a small(er) room than trying to position a full range speaker to achieve the same flat bass response. | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Streamers matter. I had an Allo Pi player and replaced it with a Node 2i. Sound quality suffered. Replaced the Node with a Lumin U-1 mini and it was much better. |
