| Wilson Sophia vs Usher Mini Dancer II I use a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated 100 watt tube amp to power my Usher Mini Dancer 2's and get the sound you stated. The wilson's are very nice but with the usher's, you get the Diamond tweeter and easier to drive with still delivering great s... | |
| Totem Arro or Sttaf or Hawk?? The arros performed very well in my small room with a jolida hybrid integrated. Surprising bass for a 4" speaker.All the other Totem speakers I have had, I would agree about the power demands and have stated this in other forums. I ran my Mani 2's... | |
| Who here loves his/her Rogue Audio Integrated amp? I sold my classe separates and bought the cronus magnum with the kt-120 tubes. I did upgrade the preamp tube. I'm using the 4 ohm load settings for my usher mini dancer 2's. Works well with the diamond tweeter. The bass was bloated and out of cont... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? saw aerosmith at the oracle openworld private party last night. They sounded fantastic. | |
| Totem Arro or Sttaf or Hawk?? You didn't mention anything about your other equipment. I used to own a lot of totem speakers, including the arro's, model 1, and a couple pairs of mani 2's. I thought the arro's sounded great in my den with a low power jolida integrated amp. I us... | |
| Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February I agree with other threads here that the emotiva products are branded too good to be true for their price. IMO, you get what you pay for, decent sound for a decent price, far from giant killers | |
| Why is streaming sounding better than my DAC?? I wouldn't use the airport express unless you want to listen to background music. You know the restrictions using this device.I would look at how you setup the parameters in audirvana because they can make a difference.I would try to swap out the ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? far from it. i sold my multi-thousand $$$ CDP years ago. it depends on how you set things up, what computer you use, dac, protocol, cables, software to read and write the data, and other things. Don't go with Sonos, or apple tv's unless you want t... | |
| Getting the best from Usher Mini Dancer II's I am using the rogue Cronus magnum with great results. Using the 4 ohm output. The DMD tweeter with an all tube amp is a very good pairing IMO. | |
| Usher Tiny Dancer 2 - opinion Change in my reply. It should have said: "the bass in the md2 is also better than the mani's when properly setup and much easier to drive" | |
| Usher Tiny Dancer 2 - opinion The mini dancer 2's blow away the mani 2's. I have owned multiple pairs of the totem mani 2's along with their model 1's, arro, and others. I sold all my totems and converted over to all usher speakers, I currently have the newer mini dancer 2's w... | |
| Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation I used to have the cp-6381's and now have the new mini dancer 2's with DMD and I have used the rogue Cronus magnum integrated with the it-120 tubes. Fantastic! Enough power to drive either of these harder to drive speakers and the cp-6311 are easi... | |
| Best music server for the money Every 1 of these options requires a computer. How are you going to rip music to a NAS drive? Also, how are you going to backup the NAS drive or any drive you use? If you go with any of these servers listed above with internal disks, you have to as... | |
| Wyred4sound dac-2 dsdse upgrade worth it I had the original dac2 and had them upgrade it to the dac2 dsd. This was a nice upgrade to an already good sounding dac. The upgrade gives me dsd and 32/384 capability. I would bet the upgrade to SE would be an even better upgrade. | |
| Improving bass from a front ported speaker Did you setup the speakers properly in your room? I had the same problem with my new ushers, they had too much bass when I placed them in the same position as my older ushers that were back ported. I divided my room in 1/5's for my speakers and ch... |
