| To all of the Wilson Audio owners: I had the original Sophias briefly. I brought them in to compare against Piega P10s and Green Mountain Audio C3s, both of which I enjoyed more than the Wilsons. It's not that they were bad, they did many things very well. But it was more hi-fi tha... | |
| Mhdt Istanbul....not all the others from Mhdt.....lets discover the Istanbul (the Book) I have owned an MHDT Havana and a Pagoda (modified by original owner) and both were excellent DACs. I would not hesitate to buy another MHDT product. | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me Paragraphs are your friend… | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." FWIW, I tried integrating two different subs with 1.6rs back in the late 90s. I always thought they sounded better without. | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) but I think that the biggest single enemy of the High End is women. Not in my home. When my wife and I were first married and house shopping, the number one criteria was the music room. Not the neighborhood, not the school system, not the prop... | |
| Sideways move? If 1 watt can produce 93dB in those speakers, 24 more would drive them to uncomfortable levels. More power isn't your issue. Keep in mind that SPL is at ONE meter. Inverse square means that every doubling of the distance, the source will be 4 t... | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." I owned Danny's Super V loudspeakers a few years ago. Probably some of the best bass I've encountered in my room. I would still have those speakers but not for the fact that the P Audio coaxial driver was not nearly good enough to pair with the wo... | |
| Great service from HSU Research Very happy with my ULS-15 subs that I bought new from HSU. I haven't needed service after the sale, but the service during the process was top notch. | |
| Sideways move? From my experience with Decware, I say buy more efficient speakers. There is something about the sound of a Decware amp when it's properly matched to the speaker. | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) @mduffy18d I think it's good that you have a sense of humor about all this and are able to keep your chin up. Very admirable. | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) Duette's wont work in a shelving/cabinet unit. They work fine close to wall but no way in a cabinet. I guess I missed the part about them being inside the cabinet. Not many speakers work well in those conditions. It would probably have to be s... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) Ozzy, you arent kidding. 3 kids, moving to new state, wife didnt want to, etc etc. I got what I got. LOL Ok, so now that we've established that. I like the idea of the Wilson Duette. Your situation is kind of what they were designed for. | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad) There are so many red flags in the original post. wife killed my stereo ambitions She sold my B&W 802s when we moved You, sir, have bigger fish to fry than a stereo system........ | |
| Turn down the Volume! @mijostyn Agree about the room. But pics of the system AND room could be helpful. I am having a hard time grasping the concept of listening to "girl with guitar" music at the same level as I would The Screaming Females. | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Looking forward to your report. I too am awaiting a custom amp that's been in the works for almost six months now. It is a single ended KT-88 amp. I hope to have it sometime next week. Good luck! |
