| One box solution I don't have a suggestion but I wanted to say kudos to @silverfoxvtx1800 for keeping the fire burning. Best wishes and I hope you find something that makes you smile every day. Cheers | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer There are lots of suggestions offered above, but what is your budget? Two more important factors: What is your amplification and what sound characteristic is most important to you? | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? The system will only sound as good as the room allows. Otherwise you are putting Turtle Wax on a car that only has primer and no paint on it. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Qobuz as a platform is stuck in the 1990's Does anyone have any intel on when the long promised Qobuz connect may be launched? | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? I treated my ceiling and am very pleased with the results. The sound is much cleaner and less smeared. It's hard work to treat the ceilings since all the work is overhead! I do believe that the room is one of the most important components in a ... | |
| Sonus Faber Upgrade worth it In my experience, going up a line in a brand's offering yields improvements. The Sara's are wonderful sounding speakers and will yield even more with a future amp upgrade. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 You have an excellent integrated in you rack and I would suggest only changing one variable in your system at a time. Settle on your new speakers and see how they play with your Accuphase. Then, if your not satisfied, audition different eclectoni... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 That's a really large space and if your listening taste includes having a robust bass foundation both of those speakers will be challenged. The previous gen Amati were known to be beautiful sounding speakers but bass shy. I spent some time with ... | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Are we being punked with this question? | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! Perhaps more "loudness" is perceived as more dynamic? Does that trick an listener's ears into being "better"????? | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? The quality of streaming, transport and decoding continues to improve and at some point it will equal or surpass physical media. I suspect that the line is the sand is closer than many listeners think. Since streaming is so inexpensive for the e... | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM Very smart question from someone who is doing it the right way. I was in the same place as you. I was starting a listening room from scratch and a dealer recommended treating the room first and then working out the equipment. Best advice I ever... | |
| Speaker upgrade? Swapping those speakers would likely be lateral at best. If you are still pleased with the sound of the Kefs how about adding a subwoofer? This will likely be the best bang for the buck. Good luck and cheers. | |
| Has this ever happened to you? **Do NOT tell you dealer** You'll never get another invite to the holiday party. But seriously, congrats that's what this is all about. Be sure to share, don't hog the sweet spot from your friends and family! | |
| Connecting External DAC's and Pre-Amps to Hegel Integrated Amplifiers? Wow, the original ask was very loaded. The short answer is that the Hegel integrated will do everything you talked about except accept the signal from another preamp. If you feed another preamp's output into the Hegel integrated you're going to ... |
