GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@deludedaudiophile  I guess I've thought of amps as being in several varieties of late... those that are either class a or class a/b operating in class a for a while that are using their class a operation to emphasize the lower orders of harmoni... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@atmasphere    One thing I don't understand from much of the above discussion....  Is it not possible with both Class d and Class A/B amps to engineer the amp to the lowest possible distortion and then add back enough 2nd and 3rd harmonics to giv... 
Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
jpasko01 I suspect you are going to have to call them.  This link says the owners name is John Schunk and his phone number is 727-644-2346.   https://rjsacoustics.com/reviews/ If you do talk to them, please post back whatever you learn.        
Salk Veracity ST Speakers
Significant Upgrade (my opinion) I owned the Veracity STs for two years and prior to buying them I heard the Motion 40s many times at BB. The Salks have the highly praised RAAL ribbon along with the Seas midwoofers in a transmission line set up.... 
The first review on the SPL s1200 amplifier
What I appreciated most about this article is that it got me to thinking about my own preferences.  Like many, I've had a number of systems over the years and usually the changes occurred because the newer gear "sounded better". For example, when... 
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
Better materials, better measuring tools, better understanding of human preferences, more powerful computers for analysis, more on line reviews and impressions....but in the end it all comes down to how does the system sound to you in your room wi... 
Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
Interesting jump....from a $2k speaker to a $28k speaker....I'll bet that doesn't happen very often???  
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
Here is just an example to get your research started....   https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=179975.msg1900653;topicseen#new  
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
I suspect also that back in 1979, when the maggies were on of only a few panel speakers and sounded so much different than the sealed box speakers being sold that you did have a romantic memory of the sound.   Unfortunately, they sound pretty med... 
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
We need more detail on your room, the setup spacing, type of music, volume, etc., but the 1.7is are really good sounding speakers on most...but not all...types of music.  They must be minimum 3' out from the front wall.  There can't be anything be... 
Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Shayne...I suspect your room with the Qs was a big surprise to everyone when they learned the price of the system. I had several friends with me that were into music but no sure if they wanted to be into audio and they commented that it was the on... 
Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Yes, other than being 100 degrees from all the tubes in a small room, the Jolida Black Ice room sounded good…. Possibly because there were 2 rear channels playing much of the time giving a very immersive sensation. Their $2k preamp/processor requi... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
The photo posted by dill looks just like the Atmasphere class d amps at the Florida Audio Expo in the Unique Audio room.    https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=180725.new#new  
Tampa Audio Expo 2022
My take:  the turnout was decent… maybe 1000 people on Friday. The rooms were not crowded so it was easy to make requests. The hosts were friendly and there was time to talk. Some rooms were a little bright but generally I found the sound to be pr... 
Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Another great sounding budget room…room 514, RJS acoustics with Magnepan LRS supported by dual RJS subs.
