| Bookshelf speaker for an apartment Decooney- I agree that’s why I mentioned when he upgrades his amp in the future the totems will sound better. Even with his current setup, the totems would sound better than the focal or b&w.I sold all my Totems (multiple pairs of mani II’s, m... | |
| Bookshelf speaker for an apartment the focal and b&w's don't have any low end. If you like Totem, get a used pair of the Model 1's or spend a little more and get a used pair of the Hawks or Forests. Then in the future if you want to upgrade your amp, then the totems would even ... | |
| XLR connectors AQ makes good cables. I used to have their Diamond usb cable which at the time was the best usb cable you can but, this was probably 5 or 6 years ago. The last time I listened to various AQ cables, I would start with the Colorado version and go up... | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? The mani’s are a better speaker than either the Forest or hawk but they are the hardest to drive because of the isobaric woofer setup. I met Vince many times At different shows and he thought the same about the mani’s. Used you can get a pair of m... | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? I used to own all Totem speakers for all my different rooms. The difference between the Forest and the Hawks were mainly In the lower frequency range, Forest produced a more full sound. But with every Totem speaker I had except for the Arros, you ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport A lot of open gaps to really know what happened here. 10 years ago I sold my Classe $3000 CD player which was rated very high because my ripped music sounded better. So if you are saying that a cheaper CD player sounds better, something doesn't ji... | |
| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 Why do you need a streamer like Aurlaic or a Lumin? Any 1 of these streamers mentioned above are just computers with some proprietary software. A few years back, I used the typical setup, a dedicated Auralic Aries hooked up to my external dac usin... | |
| what's the point? Why are there posts like this? The “no difference in sound” group is over at ANA where all the other deaf people reside | |
| Are aftermarket power cords required to be UL / CE approved? Erichsch- you better check your info again. If you install a wood stove and don’t get it inspected for example, insurance won’t cover a fire that was caused by the wood stove. If you had an electrician put in a 14 gauge wire with a 20 amp breaker... | |
| A secondary system to enjoy. I have 5 secondary systems and have multiple pairs of speakers for sale because I curtailed building other systems. I use usher s520’s with a ps audio sprout 100 integrated and it sounds very nice for an office. I have other rooms with Peachtree w... | |
| Visiting audio stores? Gpgr4blu-get your facts right. Trump halted travel to China months ago and the left crucified him. Then he stopped travel to Europe and got crucified from the left. A leftist like Biden or Bernie would have never stopped travel nor closed the bord... | |
| Cassettes still rock! Cassettes didn’t sound that great 30 years ago either. At the time, I had a teac reel 2 reel tape deck and the teac blew away my akai glass head cassette deck, which I liked better than the nakamichi deck at the time.i also have to say that r2r ta... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium Revel Salon 2 or Studio 2, Usher x-tower or BE-10 or BE-20 | |
| Just another Orange fuse thread George, you should be associated with those other sites that bash cables/fuses/practically any tweak that cost more than $5. Again, you comment about “snake oil fuses” is absurd, it’s your opinion, and a weak 1 at that. I know people with very nic... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? You better have a warm sounding amp/preamp. There is a reason why they formed a relationship with Classe. |
