| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra It looks like the M4 Ultra replaced the M4 Sapphire and the M3 Sapphire seems to be on hold pending tweeter availability or retooling with a different tweeter. The new M4 ultra is so new I doubt any have been shipped yet. Clayton has said the si... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing It’s ok to prefer no distortion… think acoustic guitar. Its ok to prefer some distortion… think electric guitar with tube amp and pedals. Preferences are just those… no right or wrong Not worth disputing… not worth debating. Thanks Ralph fo... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Three comments here: 1. Once you modify stuff, the value usually goes down. 2. Ralph’s stuff on the resale market sells pretty quickly 3. Ralph’s stuff on the resale market holds its value Even if wood or glue or other things would improve the... | |
| No mention of LRS / LRS+ on Magnepan website??? You've probably seen this new review....the word is that they have 6 months+ of orders already on hand and that they are having to adjust their manufacturing to handle the volume....don't forget they have dealer orders coming in for their other sp... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing thanks ralph....I suspect that this is part of the explanation as to why your amps sound so good. follow up question regarding a higher powered class d amp...would this be of much benefit to people running speakers with 90db+ sensitivity and list... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Here is a link to a photo of the rear of the amp. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisai204-atma-sphere-class-d-dealer-demo-pair-solid-state | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing My wish list: 1. People would only use the words “better than” when referring to specs 2. When referring to sound the would say “I prefer… and then why 3. Amp designers would state their objective… straight wire with gain….low distortion wit... | |
| Anyone heard new Zu Union 6? Kray… so the Supreme is the top end model as I read it. Now that you have more burn in… what do you think… how is the low end… the stridency… the sound stage? | |
| Zu Audio Dirty Weekend 6 starts tomorrow 09/01/22 The biggest change appears to be replacing the bottom finger ports with a rear port. There are fewer color/wood options, upgrades cost more…. Not sure if the drivers are the same? | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement My experience has been is that there is rarely a "one size fits all" when it comes to audio gear. It takes some mixing and matching to get the sound that you prefer...and it is quite likely that others might think it could be improved to make it t... | |
| Anyone heard new Zu Union 6? How do they sound right out of the box with no break in? | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano It has been almost 5 years since I started this thread. Over that time period, I've owned a bunch of different speakers and electronics. With 5 years of trial and error and stating the obvious, rooms and electronics matter as much if not more th... | |
| Pacific Audio Fest No doubt the Borrensons are impressive...I wonder what they sound like when they aren't being driven with a $60k front end that probably has been optimized to make them sound their best? | |
| Speaker pairings for Lyngdorf 2170 I’ve heard the 2170 with the Spatial Audio M3 Sapphires and the Magnepan LRS… both with and without the Audio Kinesis 4 sub array… and with and without room correction. I found it to always sound good, never bright or harsh, good imaging and s... | |
| Service my Belles I spoke to David a couple months ago...he will pick up the phone when he isn't busy. It might be worth calling him after you get the SA100 to see if you can get a handle on the age of the unit and any thoughts about whether it may be time for ser... |
