| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid I moved from a house with a large listening room to a much smaller condominium ( I think there was a divorce or something in there). The 801’s are in a close if not nearfield position and never sounded better (testament to the great concrete build... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid The 801s were $5.5k in 1999. New. Several years ago I took a fav cd and went and listened to WW Puppies driven by great electronics and thought what’s the big deal. They did not seem to resolve any better and seemed lacking on the bottom. N... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Thanks for the replies. I guess I’ve been around long enough to know that showroom audition may be an indicator, but once you get them home with different room and electronics, the result will very likely vary. And home for me is Nassau, Bahamas... | |
| SACD Players FWIW I have an OPPO 105D into a Bryston DAC3 and I hear no difference between the 2 | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Thanks for sharing your experience. After more than 25 years with a pair of B&W 801s driven by McIntosh I wondered about the X3s as possible replacement. While change is good, different is not necessarily better (all things considered). | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 I concur on the 105. It’s really pretty good and a diminishing returns exercise (like all things audio) as transport and DAC to improve upon. But I have a number of SACDs that i won’t live without so the Bryston and 105 make a good combo, albeit c... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 Interesting and timely question. I have a 105 and recently compared a few different DACs using it as a transport. I a/b going back and forth but using different cables - coax and Toslink -simultaneously vs balanced outs of the OPPO. Amp is McIn... | |
| My new Borresen X3's I’ve been looking at X3 reviews on YT which of course are great and listening to them insofar as you can in these videos. The one thing that strikes me, in the Borresen ones, why do they insist on using unfamiliar, highly processed synth music- ma... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? Can you amplify on the red light therapy? Pun intended. | |
| Speaker upgrade- but is it? Thanks for the reply. I guess I’m a bit worried about losing the “athleticism” of the 801s but I will keep the VMPS Larger sub (2x 15” and 1 x 15 )passive I have to run with the R11’s for bottom end coverage. So should get the positive arbitrage o... |
