| speaker guidance for R&R mostly Well, if the Tektons are not clear and revealing enough in Class A, if I’m you I’d take the ATCs running into Class A/B if it gets me what I’m looking for. Class be damned. But that’s me. | |
| speaker guidance for R&R mostly Save yourself some $$$ and get these. They’ll blow you away. https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/speakers/atc-scm40-v2-tower-speakers-pair/ | |
| Coda continum 8 vs Plinius sb301 I’d add the Plinius SA103 to that list. Class A but has a hi/lo bias switch so you can leave it on without heating the house or blowing up the electric bill. | |
| What to change a systemic question +1 @newbee Very good points and certainly worth some experimentation if you haven’t already done so. | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u The Backert Rhumba Extreme really interests me- unless I can find a used VAC Signature MkII SE These two have different sonic signatures, so at this point it’d be good to ask what sound characteristics you’re looking for as that will make all t... | |
| What to change a systemic question Soix thanks for the recommendation I did go and purchase the SVS sb 1000 pro and it has filled in the base though the lowest notes have no detail. Couple questions — 1) Did you use the SVS app to integrate the sub and 2) Is the SVS still in t... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? My dealer says I’d lose too much speaker presence if I went to a smaller speaker… but can too much become and issue, especially when it is centered in a specific frequency range? Lose too much “speaker presence?” Seriously??? Can’t believe a d... | |
| Music that MUST be experienced with cans? Just to be clear, I have a $5k HeadFi rig including a tube amp so it’s not exactly a slouch, but with well-recorded material I’d never choose listening to headphones over my home system. But that’s me. | |
| Vandersteen & Denon AVR-X4700H Driving Vandys (or any good speaker) with a mass market AVR is an insult and self defeating. If you need the AVR in there for processing and driving center and surround speakers get a decent stereo integrated amp (preferably with an HT bypass inpu... | |

| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Warmth and soundstage Your goals are crying out for a tubed DAC. At just above your price target there’s the excellent MHDT Orchid others have recommended here. At a bit below your price target there’s the Black Ice Glass DAC. In both cases ... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u You’re fine as long as the sound characteristics work for you. | |
| What to change a systemic question Soooo, are you happy or disappointed? I can’t tell. | |
| Music that MUST be experienced with cans? Is there any music which makes you say "This is why I have to have headphones!" ? No. Just…no. There’s virtually nothing I’d rather listen to on my headphone system over my home system except maybe subpar recordings. Period, full stop. | |
| Bacch SP ??? This is really weird. The system follows you around the room and I think you have to wear a location device, or tracks you around the room? @jumia The base system does not work like this at all. |
