| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market For the above party. Do you own them, or have you owned them? I believe I have a rather nice system in a very good acoustic area. I listen to R&R loudly, mid- 90's spl. Have an ATI 6002 amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner DAC MA-1, Project ... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz To soix: Thank you so much for the updates. I looked at several video's about the IFI ZEN streamer. Geared to several, but, not really Qobuz, which I found strange. It seems as though the hardwired is the way to go. I may look into that soon, How... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz After looking at a couple of videos about the zen streamer, it doesn't sound to bad to hook up. Sounds like what you said. I guessing that that app you spent $6 for enables the ifi streamer to accept Qobuz?? other than that USB to USB dac to stre... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz Thanks so much. I don't want to spend a fortune on a streamer, but, you have me really curious now. Reason, If I don't keep Qobuz,(Love the sound, but terrible interface) the streamer will be wasted money, as no streamer really supports Amazon H... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market I listen to strictly rock and roll, loudly. Tekton Double impacts upgraded in large room. Smaller secondary room, same rock and roll, great bookshelf speaker, Fritz carbon 7SE, both within your price range. Enjoy Robert TN | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz to those trying to help, I really appreciate it. I have what I believe is a very nice system. However, as far as understanding Audio, etc. I am somewhat of a novice. I want to thank dbb, soix,and edcyn for their suggestions. Other than paying off... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz Maybe I wasn't too clear. My Windows based computer is my streamer. USB from computer to DAC, and also Hardwired Ethernet connection from router to computer port. I have NO noise that is audible to me, I bring laptop to my listening area on tabl... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz Thanks for the response. I haven't listened to Amazon in a while, as I prefer Qobuz. In my main system, I use a Meitner DAC M1, which shows exactly the streaming rate. If I remember correctly, on the DAC, Amazon will show HI DEF, but it was always... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz I have Amazon HD for about 2 years now. Very happy with it. I just had to try Qobus though. I have a pretty good system, about 20k. What I noticed is Qobus does sound BETTER, tighter, more dynamic, just more clarity and oomph. Amazon is much easi... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another To Mesch and to Shtinkydog: I will definitely look at the Fritz speakers, your models for sure. Thank you !!!! Also to shtinkydog, I have had them for a while and then they just sat. You are totally correct, they are truly amazing speakers... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another Good evening: I spent the better part of the day trying different things. I removed the Focal Aria 948's from the room in question. I had an older pair of boxed stand a mount JBL Studio monitors 530 (book shelf) speakers. $600 bucks a few years a... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another Thank you all so much for your suggestions. Starting tomorrow I will move a few things around. (substitutions) I'm very curious to hear the Focals in my other space, which is much larger and has great acoustics. I'd agree with most all of you th... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another After reading a response from Avanti1960, I am wondering how accurate he is on his assessment of the Focal speakers? I set my purchase decision on the Focals based solely on reviews, never heard them prior to ownership. He may be right. How easily... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another Thanks so much for the posts. When I first started putting together this rooms system I debated on stand a mounts rather than the bigger towers. However, It is what it is now. The Peachtree units were originally in my bigger room and didn't so... | |
| Best sounding CD player it's not cheap, Project RS2T transport (red book only) and then add a linear power supply, with upgraded power cable. Put it against anything out there, BAR NONE. Of course a good DAC is necessary to complete the package. Robert TN |
