| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. i own a Rogue Stereo 100 power amplifier, with a KEF C658 streamer/DAC/pre-amp as a source. This is a second system in a small room 12' wide by 10' deep. I listened to small Maggies, but the small models need a subwoofer. I ended up buying a pair ... | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I'm confused. The McIntosh 611 is a mono power amp, while the Luxman C900u is a pre-amp. Do you mean the M-900u, a two-channel amplifier than when bridged is a 600 w monaural amp, same rating as your 611?In any event, the only Luxman product I aud... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. +Widex - The Apple AirPod Pro may have software, but so does Widex. The audiologist sets the hearing aids to augment the frequencies your hearing test indicates need boost. You can customize the balance and there is a tone control for bass, midran... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Had to respond after reading n80’s post. My Proceed (Levinson designed) HPA2 powers a pair of Aerial Acoustics Model 8b’s. Same amp, same speaker manufacturer as n80. I upgraded my pre-amp to an Ayre Acoustics K-5e, but did not hear a benefit to u... | |

| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. I had a similar experience with one of a pair Totem Acoustic speakers. They were shipped by the dealer in their factory boxes. One speaker arrived a day later than the other and when I looked at the second speaker box I suspected there would be a ... | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? Agree with erik_squires. I’ve owned both Ayre and Luxman products. Neutral, uncolored, clear, natural sounding. It’s a matter of taste and matching to your other equipment, speakers and room. | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? +1 for a pre-owned Ayre Codex. But here is an interesting question. At your age I discovered I suffered from hearing loss at frequencies above 3k Hz. It is a common issue. Have you any suspicion that it may be the case for you? If so, a visit to ... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Having read the entire thread, I will comment only on speakers I’ve heard. Agree on Harbeth, but also agree with comment that they are a bit too smooth on the highs, lacking some detail. Own Totem and they are more like the instrument is in the ro... | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC You can download a sound pressure meter app to a phone or tablet to level match. As others have said, absent level matching your comparison is not apples to apples. I found USB to be “noisier” than using Ethernet or coaxial. I noticed an immediate... | |
| Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. As the owner of Aerial speakers I would suggest an amp with more than 50w per channel. They like power and even at low volume an amp with headroom and capable of dealing with 3 ohm loads is important. Given your budget goal, you might consider the... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only Two products I have either auditioned or own a member of the same family. The Gryphon Diablo 300 (300w @ 8 ohms/600w @ 4 ohms) is above your price range and DAC module is extra, but perhaps you can find a dealer demo. Mark Levinson 585.5 (200/400w... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? I have hearing loss in both ears, no tinnitus. My ENT doctor has been monitoring it for some time and this year my hearing test indicated it was time for a hearing aid. I knew my hearing had deteriorated significantly, as I was unable to hear the ... | |
| Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K? If you are ok with the sound of tubes, a Used Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated can be found for under $2,000. Not easy to find used and you have to be willing to check tubes and replace, if necessary, and adjust bias. Perhaps there’s a Rogue dealer ... |
