| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Earlier in this thread I recommended British mini monitors. One thing I should have mentioned in my post was that I run multiple subs with mine. I do agree that without subs,to my ears,they do sound a little thin. I’m a subber. I run them with ev... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I’ll give another endorsement for British mini monitors. I have small to smallish listening rooms. I also listen more times than not,at low volume. My Graham Chartwell LS3/5’s do a wonderful job at low volume. They soundstage freakishly well. I al... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have system in my finished basement that is digital only. It consists of Promitheous TVC pre,April Music stello DA100 signature DAC,a Node 2,a Decware Z stage,a First Watt J2,driving a pair of Nola Boxer 2's. Sounds great to these ears. I can li... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I'd like to clear something up about myself. I am not a monetarily wealthy person. I'm a letter carrier. I've never in my career,seen a rich mailman. I buy just about everything used. However,those that have created significant wealth,especially t... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? fuzztone hit that nail on the head. Some folks will chime in and say that a $100 pre will sound 95% of anything in that price point. How dare someone spend their own money like that. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? earlflynn, thanks for the response. I totally understand passion,and brand loyalty. I'm a motorcycle enthusiast. I ride Victory bikes. I was also in an MC where everyone else in the club rode HD. While we used to bust each other's stones, it neve... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Honest question. Why is there so much controversy over amplifier topology? I mean, there are a bunch of choices in this hobby that are very subjective. You would think this was a cable thread. I don't understand that whole thing either. | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? Right now I’m working on component isolation,and still playing with different cables. I would like to add a more competent CD transport before retirement. But as we all know,directions can change in the blink of an eye. | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? My favorite is when someone asks what is the best speaker? There is no mention of room size,supporting equipment. Is this a dedicated listening room,or will your wife make you jam the speakers up against a wall and keep them 24” apart? But folks ... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I’m a class A guy. Nothing against class D. I’m glad designers have figured out the shortfalls. I think that will be good for the hobby in general. The more flavors,the better. I also don’t think you will see class A,or A/B fade away to extinctio... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 vs Black Mesh Oval 9 OK, My apologizes. I used this cool thing called "search",( I know,should have done that first) and low and behold I found more or less the info I was looking for. Mods,please delete this thread. | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community Treat others as you would be treated. I'm pretty sure that means treat everyone decent. I don't think it means, I don't mind being attacked,so I'm going to attack everyone. That being said,we don't have to bow down to everyone's opinion. Howeve... | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers I have found,for me,the best bet is buy used. I have three pairs of speakers that I rotate through 2 systems . Nola Boxer 2's, Graham Chartwell LS 3/5's,and a pair of Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. I purchased them all used,at least 50% off of lis... | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers I never understood the practice of over promising. Many moons ago I worked retail sales. Appliances,and then furniture. If I sold a special order, and the manufacturer said 4-6 weeks, I would tell the customer 8-10 weeks. 99% of the time I looked ... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? I'm from the camp that believes that a well designed piece of equipment sounds good with music. I have no technical experience with testing audio equipment,so here's my question; is the signal from a Metallica song,different from the signal from a... |
