| 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. | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers I've had the Orchard in my system twice..for a week each and it is a great sounding amp...but as we all know, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Fortunately, the amp is on tour and if you join the tour, you can try the amp for a wee... | |
| Volti does it again! And...if he can't/won't/doesn't...just remember that many manufacturers are increasingly reluctant to put people together unless they really know both parties pretty well...and it's hard not to blame them in this time of increased "tension" betwee... | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles These look very interesting…. https://getmaco.macoacoustic.com | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles Here is another option for $6k: : https://pureaudioproject.com/trio10-heil-amt-open-baffle-speakers/ Or maybe this one: https://josephcrowe.com/products/open-baffle-speaker-no-1695 | |

| Volti does it again! The Lucera sounded fantastic…incredibly lifelike presentation without the need for insane volume. Since all of Greg’s speakers are custom built to order… why should they be returnable? And given their weight and the cost of return shipping, w... | |
| Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra The Stereo Ultra has been on tour…. You can read the reviews of those who have tried it here…. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/orchard-audio-starkrimson-stereo-ultra-amp-tour.1148415/page-37 | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? Yes, 3 of the last 5 pairs of speakers I purchased were without hearing them first. | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? My 2 cents… I did not view this a disguised ad… it’s a legitimate concern…even Benchmark sales prices and timing have taken a hit….and there is definitely a lot more completion with more and more people wanting to at least try a Purifi, Hypex or G... | |
| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? 45 days ago I ordered the Kara on line. Arrived 10 days later…packing was not fancy but it was well protected. Worked perfectly right out of the box. Dead silent black background… big soundstage, no clicks or pops when switching… all in all, very... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan The real question… is the first order specified as #1… or does the sequence start higher… maybe 500… or 750??? Does anyone have #1? | |
| CODA #16 vs Benchmark AHB2 | Yamaha NS500 Speaker @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for the continued updates. I've put a Wells Audio amplifier up for sale or trade and I think when that happens, I'll give the AHB2 a try. |
