| Upgrade from Revel 228be? Given what you’re looking for I would definitely add the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 to your list. Best of luck. | |
| Speakers that disappear While I agree that all speakers “can” disappear to some extent or another and that things like the room and recording quality also matter significantly, some speakers still just inherently and more easily and completely disappear as a sound source... | |
| Subwoofers Nice speakers. This one is a no brainer to me as you can get two excellent Rhythmik F12G subs for $1000 less than one of the RELs, and the F12Gs even go significantly deeper as well. I’m sure the RELs are good, but the price differential here is p... | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Here’s a pair of Joseph Audio Perspective 2s near your price point (they do have some minor damage that is what brings them to your price level). I got to hear the smaller Pulsars and your 804 D3s in the same system and hands down thought the Pul... | |
| Speakers that disappear One of the speakers that will absolutely pull off a disappearing act most effectively and better than most all others are Joseph Audio speakers. Just pick the ones that fit your space and budget. Best of luck. | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD ... and CD’s are gaining in popularity again, there are a good many YouTube vids about this; sales are increasing and there are more CD players and CD transports hitting the market along with it.... Oh, there are YouTube videos so it must be tr... | |
| Little class D amp vs tube amp Not sure what the point is here — different systems in different rooms sound different even on a YouTube video? | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? Given what you’re looking for and the level of your system I’d highly recommend doing a trial of the new Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC as it will address your harshness issue and likely provide significant improvements across the board. I think it co... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? Well, there are certainly better DACs out there that would likely be less fatiguing. What’s your budget? I’d also upgrade those old Monster interconnects as they’re not likely doing you any favors either. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room It was removed because it appeared to selling in the forums. You gotta be kidding me! Audiotroy actively and shamelessly push their products here every day and their posts never get removed. Absurd. Absolutely absurd. | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? Are you talking about speaker cables? What cables are you using now? What is “an unfavorable wind”? What does “lacks sophistication” mean? What is “space mapping”? How can you not have a basic budget range in mind? Not enough viable info her... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system If you’re using the loudness feature on the Luxman 100% of the time then that’s an issue IMO, and I doubt the ESS DAC in the Lumin is doing you any favors either. In fact, I’d suggest doing a trial of the new LTA Aero DAC as that could potentiall... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system Budget is not too much more than my current gear and willing to buy used. So how much is that exactly? | |
| Small speaker advice Given what you’re looking for I’d also highly recommend the Joseph Audio Pulsars. I’ve heard them at shows in a small hotel room and they still worked very well. Best of luck. | |
| MoFi or Harbeth (used) Sitting off axis is an issue. I’d go with an omni polar speaker like Ohm if I was forced to sit off axis. |
