| Do Toslink Coaxial adapters work well or ....... The MSB Digital Director is a good way to go. MSB no longer makes them, but one can be had on the used market for about $100.00. My situation is a little different than yours where my transport is coax and the digital input on my Dspeaker Dual cor... | |
| Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging Definitely check out the Shelby+Kroll Nano monitors. No matter where you sit they sound great and the soundstage never collapses. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but more people need to hear these speakersCompletely agree! The Shelby + ... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? If not you would still have to use the DSPeaker in an analog processor/tape loop, since its only digital input is optical. I'm using a MSB Digital Director to convert from Coax to Optical into my Dual Core. I have the same issue with Coax only fro... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors with a matching Woofer Monitor! Very "sexy" and I have been listening to them for about 1.5 years and love what they do. Great detail with a huge side to side and front to back soundstage. I'm using SS amplification an... | |

| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help Roscoe has it right about the Dspeaker Dual Core 2.0. I never thought my system could sound so good. Look into Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors and A Woofer Monitor. The whole package, Dual Core and speakers, will run you about 4k including stands. Yo... | |
| Sandy's Impact on your Listening Lost my listening room due to the storm surge, and may not be able to rebuild it. :-( | |
| Best 2-way room friendly speakers Hi CdcThis is in response to your question about the Dspeaker gear. Depending on your needs you may want or need a Woofer Monitor. The Woofer monitor is more like a bass augmentor for the Nanos rather than a sub. I suggested the Despeaker Gear to ... | |
| Best 2-way room friendly speakers Shelby+Kroll Nano Monitors and Woofer Monitors!Detailed and musical with a soundstage that doesn't loose center focus even when off axis.The monitors drop off quickly at 100hz and the matching "sub" picks it up from there. Match with either a Dspe... | |
| Advice on stand mount speakers Why no sub? | |
| XLR or RCA cables My preamp (Dspeaker Dual Core 2.0) has XLR outputs and my amp has RCA inputs. I had Simplifi Audio make me a XLR to RCA DNM HFTN cable and have no issues with it. Perhaps that might be a good way to go? Less in the signal chain is sometimes best. | |
| Age Limit for Speaker Cables Sometimes cables can oxidize as Elizabeth mentioned about the Monster Cables above. Cables usually become obslete to the listener due to a system change. I have setttled on DNM speaker cables and IC's. DNM has been around for quite some time and h... | |
