| To power strip or not @phusisMy experience is there is not a one size fits all answer. If you happen to have really clean power, then you can probably utilize a "non audiophile" sanely priced type of power strip.Therefore, I'd suggest that you buy a returnable audioph... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? I've owned 3 class d amps over the past five years. The Crown XLS 2000 at $500 did some things right and some things wrong: good low end, ok midrange, bright top end, huge soundstage but two dimensional, and somewhat blurred detail...but for $500... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen The beauty of the BMR is the RAAL ribbon tweeter...and as was previously mentioned, you can still buy them from Salk http://www.salksound.com/model.php?model=BMR%20Monitorsanother RAAL ribbon tweeter alternative loudspeaker for less money that se... | |
| Dealer Discount To make the decision to discount by the store a little more real.....Assume a store has sales of $750k per year... or $300k net to the store assuming a 40% gross margin overall. From the $300k comes store rent, wages, advertising, returns, financ... | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @gochurchgo It seems like you are asking if a home audio preamp, might behave somewhat like some guitar amps...where you can turn up the gain to increase distortion...some call it crunch?? I'm sure that there are people on this site ....like @at... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I have to admit that I also chased that "all enveloping" sound for many years. Then, one day, I realized that I already had it in my car and that no matter how good the car's sound system was, the experience never matched my home system or live m... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? I more of a believer that we "prefer" amplifier A vs amplifier B because of the way it makes our systems sound...to us...in our rooms...with our other equipment...and our selected music. In this respect, there appears to be plenty of people buyin... | |
| Need Device to Keep electronics off when power comes back If you read through the q&a s to this product...you will see that the manufacturer as well as several users say that it requires a manual reset after a power outage...and since everything from amazon is easily returnable...it is probably worth... | |
| Parasound Halo a23 I’ve played the A23 through multiple speakers and always found it to have solid, fairly well defined bass... not too punchy. As for temperature... mine measured about 102 degrees when pushed hard... but generally around 95 degrees. One final thoug... | |
| Parasound Halo a23 Big soundstage...smooth top end... powerful low end... switches on and off without a thump.... and the gain controls allow you to perfectly match any preamp to high efficiency speakers so you aren’t blasting away at the 8 am position. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage +1 for the Walsh. Also, adding a subwoofer almost always improves the ambience and expands the soundstage. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage @kenjit I thought the same thing... nope, wired in phase... but tons of ambience probably caused by all the reflections off the hard walls, ceilings and floors.... so pinpoint imaging isn’t the greatest but soundstage is pretty impressive. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I've got a buddy who has 25 year old M&K bookshelf speakers which he runs full range; he also uses an M&K 12" sub to augment the bottom. His electronics are 25 year old Adcom fed by an Oppo 103 player in a 12x14 room with drywall and hard... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box audiosaurusrex I think there is one more aspect of the new Spatial M3 that you will only know for sure by trying them at home....that is the saphire (ceramic) mid/tweet driver. (from the Spatial Audio page on Audio Circle..." new wideband, large... |
