| What speakers are you using with Luxman class A? Brianmgrarcom 23-05-2013 I have used my 590 AII with Harbeth SHL5’s Is it 590AX or 590AXII? I thought the AXII was introduced to the market in 2015 or 2016? I have the 590AXII. My dealer told me the AXII is noticeably better in sound q... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Great writeup @arafiq . It’s good to note that the JA Perspective 2 has exceeded your expectations. I can relate a lot to the comparison since I own the Harbeth SHL5+ and another speaker which I regard as endgame, not a JA though. It's true the ba... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers IMO if you want to use a sub for music 2 channel, you should place the sub in a center channel position(between the mains). Its the only way to get it to blend IMO. Sounds fantastic between the mains and can even be set at a high cross over setti... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II Thanks for all responses. @stevebohnii I currently have the Chord Qbd76 so it’s useful that you compared the Quest to the Pontus II. I didn’t know about the Iris DDC and it’s useful to note that the performance of the Pontus II can taken up a notc... | |
| The sound comparison between LUXMAN DA-200 D/A and LUXMAN DA-250 D/A convertors Arafiq, thanks for the useful response which is greatly appreciated. I now have to recheck my priorities. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Sorry folks I’ve been traveling for work. Hopefully, I’ll share my impressions in a day or two. If you have some free time I would appreciate if you can visit the Digital thread as I was seeking your opinion on the Luxman DA-06 vs Denafrips ... | |
| The sound comparison between LUXMAN DA-200 D/A and LUXMAN DA-250 D/A convertors That being said, IMO it doesn’t make sense to pay $2k for a dac that is a 10-year old design. If I was looking in this price range, I’d look into R2R designs, e.g. Denafrips Pontus II. I bought a Terminator II a few months ago and find it to be f... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? What sub? What controls did it have? It’s a PMC TLE1. To be fair, it’s not very good. | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? I’ve heard Rel subs and they work great, but so do many other subwoofers. There’s nothing special or unique about Rel subs that I have heard. I’m sure fanboys will say they weren’t set up "right" or I’m deaf, or whatever, but that’s my story and ... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? In my limited experience, the best placement for a single sub is right in the middle between the speakers, not in one of the corners. I am aware that REL recommends the single sub to be placed in the corner of the room but I don’t follow. (I have ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Thanks for the response @arafiq I wasn’t too surprised that the Supernait 3 sounded poor with the Harbeth SHL5+. It’s the same experience when I tried the Nait XS on the SHL5. Somehow the Naim integrateds are not very good in my book. Perhaps they... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? Two is better than one. One is better than none :) The best answer for the day 😆👍 | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ I have tried the speakers with Luxman 590AXII (owned), Hegel H390 (extended home audition), Kinki EX-M1(owned), Naim Supernait 3 (home audition), VTL IT-85 (owned), ARC GSi75 (owned), and Sim Audio Moon 340i (home audition). So hopefully you can ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ As good as the SHL5+ are, I do sometimes yearn for a wider and deeper soundstage with bigger bass (although I have a pair of REL S/510s to supplement). You will likely get that with modern speakers but it will need to be fairly high quality ... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! I had the original Totem 1 for 20 years and these are the Totem 1’s times 10. I tried the Totem Model 1 in my system for a brief period many years ago and thought they are average, not spectacular. It's a fun and bouncy type of sound but not... |
