| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? I went to the Parts Connexion and found the same ceramic resistors that Magnepan provides and bought matched pairs 0.1 ohms, 0.2, 0.3 and so on up to 0.8… they are very inexpensive and then find which value gets you the sound you want. | |
| Belles 22a Preamplifier @tunehead I sold the 22a last year after owning it for five years....why...two reasons, I needed an XLR output which it didn't have....and it had slightly too much gain. From a musicality standpoint, it was an excellent preamp and because it us... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update To be honest, I really don't want to name the brand because they have a strong following and lots of people that love their speakers...and just because they weren't my cup of tea...so what....they don't deserve me saying anything negative. @livin... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @tksteingraber absolutely...and the very wide dispersion speakers are the only speakers that have resulted in this "phenomenon". Currently I have the LRS+ paired with a 15" sealed sub. Great combination but as you know, the listening position ... | |

| my own experience with Tekton Design @Carlsbad2 You have to keep this friend...anyone who would bring their 135lbs speakers to my house to audition would merit a bump up in friendship status...🤣 | |
| Outlet Question And then there us always the issue of what happens to your insurance coverage in the event of a fire that starts with a “non approved” outlet? | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update The attenuation switch seems like it would be a good selling point for ohm and should be described on their website and included in their manuals. | |
| Buying Used Speakers Just as an example… if you were looking at speakers on USAM from a seller who has numerous positive ratings and has sold speakers… you can be pretty confident you are dealing with a seller who will do everything possible to give a fair rating and ... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! If every time we read a review our brains could remind us that is an opinion or a preference and not an absolute truth…we may then react better to what we read… positive or negative. If I reviewed my buddy’s system, it wouldn’t rank as high as... | |
| what's a good Gan / Class D option under 3k? Nilai or Ncorex500? You can try the orchard by joining the amp tour they currently are running. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/orchard-audio-starkrimson-stereo-ultra-amp-tour.1148415/page-40 | |
| My experience with The Music Room Two questions… Was there a less expensive option than $800? Did you also have to pay sales tax? | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti I suspect that the new Volti Lucera which are a lot smaller might very well fit the bill. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** The Pass XA25 drives the LRS+ beautifully and plenty loud. Next up, I’m going to try the AHB2… just for the heck of it… and it’s 100 watts. |
