| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k "...I have purchased SOTA swiss front end which I can't disclose..."I have the perfect solution for your problem but sorry I can't disclose it. Perhaps disclose was not the word you were looking for? | |
| Kevin's Tannoy priced as a Single speaker?? Some loudspeakers are matched or mirrored pairs and MUST be bought in a set of two. Other loudspeakers are boxed and shipped as singular units. Their is no confusion in most cases, you should have at least an idea of what a speaker costs. If you s... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. "...Interesting when DEALERS who don’t carry said particular brand(otherwise gets praise from end users and mags)needs to get replaced.

| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? "....One speaker is partially blocked by a couch. Also, furniture placement precludes me from pulling speakers as far out from the wall as would be optimal. There's nothing I can do about this situation...."New spouse?

| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? "...I have a very limiting room so there's not much I can do to upgrade my main system at this point...."Said no one ever! LOL. | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? "...My 20wpc Raven Blackhawk not only had no problem driving them to a nice loud level, it made them sound a helluva lot better than a 100wpc ss amp that was also used. Enormously better. So ”How entirely errrrr ....... Believable ... Not..."I bel... | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? More important is finding a pair of loudspeakers that is relatively efficient due to having 40 wpc. | |
