| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade Try Vivid Audio Kaya 45 $18,000 They have no sharp edges and all drivers are connected to a tube in the back to eliminate any back wave resonances from the cabinet & the driver. They sound like open baffle speakers, but make more bass. Call ... | |
| How good is Aesthetix audio? The Mimas power is 150 into 8 280 into 4 BUT the Modwright KEH 225i is 225W into 8 and 400 into 4! It’s cleaner too…less noisy and has 25W pure class A!!! It just has more control than the Mimas. | |
| How good is Aesthetix audio? For the Same money or less Modwright is better in my opinion. They have a better integrated for 10k. | |
| DAC Under $3000 Lampizator Baltic 4 | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Lampizator Baltic 4 | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u Try a Modwright integrated amp. 220w into 8 400 into 4. I use that on my YG’s and Vivid Giya G2. It has the tube preamp built in! So you will save 10-20k in cables and preamp! I will put this integrated up against 50 grand of separates! | |
| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? Prima Luna is Chinese junk and the worst amps I ever heard. Line magnetic was better for chi fi. audio research is junk for American tubes and cheaply made as well. look into VAC and VTL. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco The Boulder is decent. The Modwright has a little bit bigger power transformer and tube preamp is going to give it a slightly wider and deeper sound stage. If you upgrade to a Lampizator Baltic 4 I can help you get into one that will be a... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco New Sonus Faber Aida is great! Rockport as well makes amazing speakers. On tubes…Preamp/DAC with tubes won’t cook the room. A tube power amp you can roast marshmallows on and if you like Rockport you will need a solid state output. My Mod... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco Other speakers I heard and tried YG acoustics Carmel 2, YG acoustics Hailey 2.2, YG Sonja 2.2 Vivid Kaya 25 & 45, Vivid Giya G1 and G2 Dynamikks Athos 10 (best bang per buck) Magico A5 & Magico S5 Kharma Exquisite Midi 3.0 ... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I just replaced my YG’s with Vivid Audio Giya G2 Series 2 Kubala Sosna Realization Cables Modwright KWH 225i integrated amp that’s a hybrid…it’s amazing and just so real sounding. It is a hidden gem and 220w into 8 and 400w into 4 ohms. It can c... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @mikelavigne I agree! I use my speakers more than my useless in the snow BMW convertible! Now I drive a Subaru Ascent! I listen to speakers more and have my main system hooked up to my television to get more ROI! | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium OK I don’t want to insult you, but you really did listen to a lot of cheaper mdf partial board or wooden speakers. These sound like boxes. B&W is kind of bottom or the Barrel with Dynaudio and KEF and all that stuff and is lower tier. Good sp... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? Do you have any idea how many extra resonances you create in Speakers by wiggling them around on a sub? iso stands are rubber and springs and wiggling jiggle | |
| Magico's M9 @brianlucey A5 is entry level and at 25k there’s only about $5000 left to build the speakers in terms of manufacturing. There’s just not enough meat of the bones. |
