| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara Will be interested to see photos of your GIK-treated room.I've heard the Marten Django L a number of times. I can tell you the best I ever heard them was in a system with Zesto that was many multiples of the speaker cost. Heard th... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? @ghosthouse "I thought you weren’t into female singers?! ;-)" That is so usually true. But lately, on Tidal, I've found a number of them I like. See below. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara Although I've not used the, yet anyway, I've heard nothing but good about GIK. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara Saying the TAD ME-1 is a better version of the KEF R1 is very much understating the ME-1. The ME-1, for me, blows away anything in its price range; it is very sweet with sublime clarity, has a big soundstage, very high resolution ... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara Alright, hope your demo goes well.I've heard the Treo CT and the Quatro Wood CT. Treo was with McIntosh MA8000 + digital server and the Quatro Wood was at Randy's in Santa Monica with Ayre Integrated and DAC/server. For me persona... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara I have heard both the 30.2 and the SHL5+ and for the minimal cost to move up to the SHL5+, it is a no-brainer. They are much much better than the 30.2s.@ianrodger In my opinion, the Harbeths are in a different class compared to t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara The LS50 is nice for what it is but as you may know, they need quality power to sound good. The KEF Ref 1 is just OK as I remember. If you are willing to spend Ref 1 money, take a very serious look at the Harbeth SHL 5. I've heard... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Gillian Welch - Boots No.1@uberwaltzIndeed, when you have Tidal or Spotify, etc., you truly have a World of Music at your fingertips. Totally dig that. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @ghosthouse Really enjoying this stream too. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I’ve heard a number of Class D offerings. I just bought the TAD Evolution Stereo Amp and matching Preamp/DAC. Also have the E-1 speakers. I can tell you that this Class D amp is not playing second fiddle. With the same speakers I’ve heard Audio Re... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification @cleeds X2I'm not sure how a person can make comments on something they've never heard. Ranting on about technical fact is meaningless. It is of course all about the sound; so one must go listen before they can make ascertains. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Elbow - "Little Fictions" / Tidal. This is my first full listen through but will come back for another listen. | |
| Getting close to giving up on CD's @pattemf132Great topic.I've been on a long search for a new system. I now have it and my source is an Aurender. I'm having so much fun. And my CD collection is getting smaller. Never thought I'd say that but it feels good. Just use Tidal to the Au... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz.This is a great thread @uberwaltz .I just totally started over with a new system a few months ago (after 12 years) and my main source is now an Aurender. I’ve been having an incredibly fun time finding/discovering new music and catching... |
