| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade Just a second for the GoldenEar Technology line. In addition to the Aons, check out the floor standers such as the Triton 7 or Triton 5 - should be well within your budget used or demo. They're very easy to drive but sound like much more expensive... | |
| Speakers for Devialet One of the best systems I ever heard was a set-up consisting AP Avanti IIIs, Herron tube preamp, Herron SS mono amps and top of the line Wadia digital front end (about 11 years ago). Never forgot it.My thoughts:1. Room/speaker positioning2. Front ... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? MAIN:Magneplanar 1.2Magnaplanar 1.5Alon IV Mk II Alon CirceAnd coming soon...GET Triton 2+DENSpica TC 50Nola Mini | |
| Intigrated Amp Dilemma I would recommend a Hegel H360 but I'm not sure how many single ended line inputs it has. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Classical music is my thing (choral singer and organist, spouse was principal bassoonist with symphony orchestra). I went from Maggies to Alons to Nolas...to GoldenEar Tritons. Hubby and I recently auditioned Maggies (.7, 1.7 and 3.7). We preferr... | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... The 8005 has a killer phono section and is a wonderful amp. We love our 8004; however, for you it might be more of a different flavor than a large step up. Your MF is no slouch.If you're itching to play with tubes and want to take a true step up, ... | |
| Herron 1A,, Herron 2A, Modwright LS100 or Aesthetix Calypso? I owned both the Herrons and I cannnot say enough good things about Keith and his designs. The VTSP 2A and the M150 upgraded monos were my favorite gear I've ever owned. Incredibly musical. Would not hesitate to jump on a 2A, although the 1A wasn'... | |
| Rega/Totem combo wow! Haven't heard Totem speakers in years but always liked them.But I did recently hear the Rega integrateds plus the Saturn R CD player at a dealer and was impressed - they were powering, among other things, GoldenEar Triton 3+. I liked the Saturn (... | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers I've never heard the Tekton DIs so I have no opinion on them. Would be interested to hear a pair some day.Like Darkstar1, I'm very sensitive to brightness - particularly on massed strings. A hard, bright treble will send me screaming from the ro... | |
| Good match for Rega Brio-R I heard the Brio-R driving GoldenEar Aeons and GoldenEar Triton 7s (floor standers, $1400). Both sounded excellent but I thought the 7s were special at that price point. I don't know what kind of music you listen to but I personally like as close ... | |
| Floorstanding towers Just completed a search for new tower speakers and will be purchasing GoldenEar Tritons (Three+, $2500 new). They are one of the stone cold bargains in audio.I would also check out Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs mentioned above.We might vey well have jumped... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Can't say enough good things about the GoldenEar Triton towers: the Sevens at full price, or Threes or Twos used, would all be in your range. I think there's a pair of Twos listed at $1600 right now here on A-gon. We compared the B&W CM8s to t... | |
| After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc An audio buddy has the ProAcs and found bliss the Keith Herron monoblocks. Not an obvious choice but a highly felicitous one. | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars I would second the recommendation of the WiIlson-Benesch speaker line. If I had 10-15k to play with I would for sure be looking into the Vector, Square 5 or Square 3, | |
| Floor Standing Speakers That Would Sound Good With the NAD Integrated Amplifier. What's your ultimate system goal? Are you married to your NAD?Personally, it's aways worked better for me to choose speakers I love in my price range and that work in my room, THEN find the amp that best mates with the speakers. (Yes, I think you ... |
