| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please Thanks for the post. I have found my endgame speakers which happen to be standmounts. All the gear can be considered as endgame without any planned upgrades in the foreseeable future, except the subwoofer which is considered to be outclassed by th... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and I hope SCM7 will sound good at low level listening in view of small room and not to disturb neighbourhood. I am not sure about this. I’ve read many posts saying the ATCs don’t do low volume as good as the Harbeth. They need to be played at m... | |
| Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room Thanks for the post. 15 x 19 is quite large. Hence it is not a surprise that 3 subs work better than 1. Yes, the S510 costs considerably more than the T9x. Just unsure if there will be a noticeable difference if doing a one to one swap ie. from th... | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker Typically older Sonus Faber of that era were a bit warm and less detailed. Yes, correct. I have read great things about the new or current Sonus Faber but the higher-end models are rather costly in comparison to the Harbeth. Great sound, beau... | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker I am not familiar with Sonus Faber Concertino Domus but switched from the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Concerto to a Harbeth many years ago. i don’t have experience with the C7ES2 but have listened to the C7ES3. I don’t know how the C7ES2 compare to th... | |
| New Luxman 507Z avanti1960 04-27-2022 at 09:33pm971 posts Gone is the overtly smooth and forgiving presentation in favor of more clarity and transparency. May i ask which model of the Luxman sound overly smooth and forgiving? The L-590AXII which I current... | |
| DAC bakeoff: Denafrips Aries II vs Topping D70 vs Parasound Halo integrated The Topping D70 is the older model. I read that the D70S is quite a bit better than the D70 with higher levels of transparency, air and detail while preserving the flow. It would be interesting if the D70S is compared to the Denafrips Ares II. | |
| New Luxman 507Z Oh no. Luxman has become Accuphase. Champagne gold vs silver Warm, full, lush vs refined, delicate, detailed Don't think so. | |
| New Luxman 507Z In theory it seems like Luxman’s rendition of Hegel’s Sound Engine. Hopefully it’s done correctly. What do you mean by this. Are you implying that Luxman is copying or imitating Hegel. | |
| Question for Acrolink / Mexcell power cord owners ; especially the 7N PC 9900 model Just to add. Apart from the power cord, the quality of wall outlet will also matter. In my system, the Furutech GTX-D NCF combined with the Acrolink cords truly elevated my system to a higher level of performance. | |
| Question for Acrolink / Mexcell power cord owners ; especially the 7N PC 9900 model I just saw this thread. I rarely visit the Cable thread these days and mostly hang out on the Amp and Speaker threads. I don’t have experience with the 7N PC9900 which I believe is the top of the line Acrolink cord. However, I do have the older PC... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? The Pass Labs XA-60.5 monoblocks look like some serious amps, beautiful too. Perhaps keep them since John Atkinson thought that way. | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 duckworp 219 posts 03-27-2022 at 11:25am I had 804D with Naim amplification and I agree it sounds a little harsh. I demoed a few amps. The best that went with the 804D was a Vitus RI100 (now called RI101) for a clean but smooth ... | |
| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers Yes. A friend of hers has some gorgeous pair ProAc standmounts that look and sound beautiful....that's something like what I'll end up with. It's apparently worth $10,000 worth of new electronics to acheive that for her. Sounds like the Proa... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? So, I reached out to Kent @Pass for his thoughts. (I’ve know him for a quite while.) He basically said it could be viable but in terms of sonic bliss, body and weight the integrated wouldn’t match those separates. So, I decided to keep ’em separa... |
