| Ken Fritz stereo system auction is live... An inspiring Youtube video. His dedication to this hobby and his willingness to "rollup his sleeves" so as to be part of it was amazing. My best to you and your family. | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! AR2a Acoustic Research AR3a Acoustic Research Polk Audio ? B&W 802 Verity Parsifal Wilson Audio Alexia 1 Magico A-5 Wilson Audio Alexx V Done | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @steakster The Wilson are more Dynamic and imaging is more 3-D (holigraphic) while the Magico has a smoother overall presentation with a more even tonal quality if that makes sense. Very sweet highs and mids. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @steakster +1.......Great story. I had a similar experience. Great speakers are great speakers whether you like their particular flavor or not. I also own the Magico A-5's in a second system. I love them but clearly they have a different voice. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @carlsbad2 And I thought this post would be free of Wilson haters and trolls? My fav from this minority was a comment a hater made about the Chronosonic. XVX's.. The reviewer had said they were one of the five best speakers in the world. The hat... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Congrats on the new speakers. You will love them! I went through a similar ordeal for the last year. I had the Alexia 1 and thought I needed an upgrade. I loved the Alexia's but you know how this hobby is. I auditioned the Alexx V's and still... | |
| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? Classe Delta Mono. You can see my components in my system description with photos. | |
| Is usb reclocking necessary? I have an Innuos Zenith mk 3 with the reclocker. It only made a slight difference in my system. I think the key is how good your DAC’s USB implementation is. I run a Terminator Plus which is known to have a great USB input. We all tend to look fo... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @mahler123 +1 well said and very funny! @tonywinga Great Recommendations! | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners Of course he will say that. Could be true but he also wants to sell equipment. I have a Zenith Mk 3 with reclocker with the sense app and like it a lot . When will I upgrade? When next Statement comes out in a year or two. I'm looking for bigg... | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer Roon has the best user interface in the business but IMO depending on streamer/server used not the best sound quality. I use Innous Sense app with Zenith mk 3 with fabulous results. | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? NO! | |
| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V I had the Alexia in my system. Rarely did it need more than 35-60 watts to drive them to 85-90db sound level. So yes the Dan will be more than adequate. | |
| Classe vs Luxman any thoughts on the Stereo power amps? I own both the CT-M600 and Delta mono blocks. Can't speak to Luxman. Both companies are now owned by a conglomerate. I love my amps! The Delta's are better than the M600. Both amps got rave reviews and their specs are ideal. That said I don't ... | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade I would upgrade your speaker to a floor stander which will have better frequency integration than an sat/sub. brand is your preference. I love Wilson. Just upgraded from Alexia (with two subs) to Alexx V (no sub) and realized big SQ improvements. |
