| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? Coaxial drivers are very rare birds in hifi. My guess is that they are very difficult to get right. They are going to image better of course, but at the expense of what? | |
| bmr philharmonic That is an incredible design. Big RAAL, open planar midrange, and a transmission line for bass. An end game speaker for only $3500. | |
| bmr philharmonic $1350 for this speaker. http://www.philharmonicaudio.com/BMR%20Philharmonitor.htmlIf someone knows of higher quality drivers for the price, I’m all ears. | |
| bmr philharmonic The company is basically just Dennis Murphy. He sells his speakers for basically no mark up. I hope that he is okay. He designs some of the crossovers for Salk Sound and Salk builds some of his cabinets. He is a very generous person. | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? If memory serves, AJ swapped out the metal dome tweeter that was in the show prototype. | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? OK, so let's ditch the Elac and go back to thinking about some of the Ryan floorstanders as a possible alternative.The Ryan 610 is about the same size. Great bass, also a bit analytical...not a coax though so imaging won’t be as good. I would say ... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? I’m really curious to see how the Argo speakers sound, because right now there is just no synergy or house sound with ELAC. Each line has almost noting in common looks/sound wise. I agree. The UB5 was created to undercut the LS50, which it has. Th... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? Here is a review. They are already showing up in the barely used market. https://www.cnet.com/news/elac-aims-higher-with-its-new-adante-as-61-speaker/ | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Also, I have never heard a downside in using a miniDSP or similar in a sub only situation. Since mini dsp goes between pre and power amp, it requires A to D to A conversion of the entire signal...which for someone who has invested $$$ in a nice DA... | |
| Chinese Class A SS This amp is a popular one that the DIY guys like to mod. Its an old design that Nelson Pass speaks well of. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Douk-Audio-HD1969-Gold-Seal-HiFi-Class-A-Power-Amplifier-Stereo-Amp-15W-2-Bla... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? LOL Neal. They are pretty decent at $300, especially the fit and finish for that price point. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Perhaps the ideas of Bruno Putzey hold some weight, as without his inventions and Hypex Ncore product, Class D amps might not yet have been in hifi amps. Here are his thoughts on Class D vs A and AB in an interview with Sound & Vision last yea... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Paul McGowan of PS Audio recently released a really good video on the future of Class D audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98QQ43qgzbg | |
| Class D Technology Although one should always be skeptical of audio reviews due to quid pro quo, this statement is quite the endorsement. I know that NuPrime has specifically tried to mimic the sound of linear amps (if you read their marketing copy) so their enginee... | |
| ATC SCM40As sound quality at low voume I would read this review before purchasing the Benchmark amp. http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/benchmark-ahb2-impressions-vs-vidar.5131/ |
