| Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker? I think I know what you are looking for. A purist single driver system driven by a SET amp with no negative feedback. That means no crossover and no whizzer, as a whizzer is basically a mechanical crossover. You are okay without a super tweeter, a... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers A MTM design is likely your best chance at getting big sound from a bookshelf on a modest budget. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... FWIW, the budget hifi products have gotten so good in the last few years that it makes selling traditional hifi more difficult....especially separates. There are buyers, but they are fewer and farther between unless you are selling McIntosh, Prima... | |
| 84k speakers... Big disappointment They use Ice Power amps, which is the opposite end of the spectrum from your SET amps. | |

| Advice for killer desktop speakers The blumenstein orcas are very nice if you get the ones with the limited edition drivers - fostex fe83 SOL. They need bass support below 100hz so an 8 inch REL sub works well. These have much more resolution than the A5s and no crossover to smear ... | |

| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Schiit didn’t have many professional reviews until they did an ad buy in Stereophile...then their high end DAC was reviewed. Its just how the game usually works. BTW, the Ohms are incredible. | |
| The High End for Under a Grand? JBL Studio 530 speakers, Emotiva mini 50 watt amp, a schiit DAC, and a chromecast audio will embarrass a lot of higher end systems. The Studio 530s are the real deal. | |

| High order crossovers I think there are scientific explanations for many of our subjective observations. When the science and the observation seem to be at odds, then either the observation has a mistake in it or the science is faulty or incomplete. In other words, ... | |
| High order crossovers Robbing dynamics? Not so sure. Sucking the soul out of the music 🎶 with that 7th order crossover? You didn’t think that ruler flat response was a free lunch, did you? | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review All these class D companies utilize modules from several main suppliers which they modify to their own tastes... Yet, NuPrime manufactures their own modules and is the best Class D I have heard with the NuPrime ST-10. And, that is not even the... | |
| Small or large sub for music I have a “full” range speakers supported by 2 JL212 subs. The subs Integrated with the main speakers so well that now I cannot listen to the system without the subs. The quality of the subs is very critical. I would disagree and say that getting t... |
