| My end game speaks. Safe harbor statement: I'm a Focal owner. The Focal's are front ported while the Magico's are sealed. You will perceive a very different bass presentations from the two speakers. For this reason, based on your described ear, I think you will p... | |
| Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment Great post! It's really bad form when someone responds totally off topic and appears to have not even read what the OP wrote. | |
| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE I got the email from TIDAL....lol | |
| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. First choice for me is Qobuz. Having said that I might revisit Tidal which has ditched MQA and gone to FLAC for their hi rez stuff. Tidal has a "Connect" feature that Qobuz does not and this may be important to some people. Good luck and cheers... | |
| JL Audio Fathom I have a pair of F112 v2 running in my system. They are very well integrated and I've had no operational issues. I'm very pleased with them. In general, it's difficult to get really good sub integration. Since you are happy with the integra... | |
| Question about NAD 7400 vs new integrated amp I'm a little confused about your system setup. You wrote, "I’m currently using the power amp in an NAD 7400 to drive my Polk SDA 2B speakers." Does this imply that you are using an outboard Preamp and are only using the power section of the NAD? | |
| SVS Subwoofer Connection I tried the wireless connection and the time lag was terrible. If you're using it for HT the lag is so great it will not allow you to properly utilize any room correction software. Knowing this, I would stay away from wireless even for 2 channel... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be OP, I’m running a Hegel Pre into Sopra no2 speakers. My streamer is the Node with an external LPS. The streamer is my weakest link but I don’t think that’s the case in your system. I think you want to upgrade your Pre. You really don’t want to cha... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Your Focal speakers are excellent. As others have mentioned, the weak link is your Pre, everything (including future upgrades) will be bottlenecked. A better/external Pre will be the best place to spend money. | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I hate to pivot the thread like this but I think it will get you where you really want to land. When making a move to upgrade, make a significant move up, not just an incremental one. The incremental moves often lead to disappointment. I would ... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers I used Vicaoustics and am very pleased with the results. OP, if you're interested, DM me and I'll send some pics. Good luck and cheers. | |
| Confused with size of speaker to get when placed along long wall in large room There are some very good recommendations already made here. At your preferred listening levels it will be very hard for any pair of floorstanders to get you a smooth response and not sound thin. I would strongly consider adding a pair of subwoof... | |
| NAD M66 I would strongly think that the streamer is the same across all products. Maybe the DAC module is better in the master series? Call 905-831-6555 and try to get in touch with Jade. Good luck and cheers. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? I really sympathize with folks who live removed from metro areas and have no hi'fi shops. When one buys new speakers there is always a large loss taken if the speakers are unsatisfactory and have to be sold. I think I would be OK with buying spe... | |
