| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Ayre CX-5 / CX-7 I agree with @v-fi and would be very wary of buying a CD player that’s 15+ years old and would certainly check with Ayre first to see if especially things like the drive mechanism/laser can be replaced at reasonable cost if/when they fail. That s... | |
| What do I need? If you’re gonna now have additional speakers for HT the cheapest/easiest thing would be to get an A/V receiver with front L/R pre outs that you can feed to your stereo preamp and power the other speakers. If your stereo pre doesn’t have a HT bypa... | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? I think you’re on the right track looking to upgrade your streamer and will very likely close the gap significantly between your streaming and analogue performance. The MU1 would certainly be a big upgrade as would anything from Aurender from the... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I don’t know, I just perused the SVS site and the prices seem about the same as REL? Maybe I’m missing something… The SB1000 Pro is $599 and goes to 20Hz at -3dB. The HT/1510 is $1699 and is -6dB at 20Hz, or you could go with the S/510 with s... | |
| which power amp or integrated for Totem Element Fire v2's? +1 @zlone “Did not seem to match” doesn’t tell us anything so no idea in which direction you wanna go. More specifics needed for a more meaningful recommendation. | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Sure the REL is a bit better, but it’ll also cost you multiples the price of an SVS sub for similar bass capabilities, and for a HT application you really need to think if spending double or triple for the REL is worth it. Plus for HT low frequen... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Several thoughts as I’ve recently done a bit of research on subs: REL makes good subs but do not have a monopoly on naturally integrating into a system. Any good, properly-positioned and dialed-in sub will integrate seamlessly. You should seri... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD I still have never heard anyone say, Wow! Look at your download collection! @vinylvision1 But you’re kinda missing a lot of the point of streaming. I don’t care how large your current music library is, it’s just a fraction of what’s availabl... | |
| Receiver $10k USD? For a receiver?? Is this a joke??? | |
| LAIV Harmony I’m not saying the Harmony was bad. I think for the price it’s great. It was much better than my R26. But it falls short compared to what the May offers in my system. @campo007 Congrats on finding an even more satisfying DAC. What aspects of... | |
| Subwoofers If foam surrounds on Rhythmik subs are an issue for you, why were they even on your list in the first place? Also, I’ve never, ever heard of anyone having an issue with a Rhythmik sub. Crossing Rhythmiks off your list simply due to foam surround... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Excellent! Thanks for listing the contenders — great selection and really looking forward to your thoughts/impressions. | |
| Six DAC Comparison My point is that if the Benchmark is providing "state-of-the-art measured performance," then one could reasonably presume that the other five DACs, which sound different from the Benchmark, do not share similar ’state-of-the-art" measurements and... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? @rubix Someone on another thread just said there should be a communication from Krell shortly, possibly on the Facebook page others have mentioned. |
