| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? I am interested in opinions on great bookshelf speakers that actually need to live in a bookshelf. I get seasick just reading this. | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? It ain’t easy being a eunuch in audiophile city. @kingharold i teared up reading your very poignant post, am so sorry for your tragic loss, but am so happy that you got to spend so many happy decades with such a rare and clearly wonderful life par... | |
| a subwoofer choise - dual 8" SVS or one off-brand 15" Big +1 @erik_squires who’s giving you very wise advice. Go for a pair of SB1000 Pros that wouldn’t be much more expensive than only one 3000 Micro and aren’t much bigger but definitely much better and more capable subs. Sell the subpar JBL and t... | |
| Long XLR recommendations Maybe also consider Furutech connectors? Furutech seems to get good reviews from DIY cable types… https://www.thecableco.com/catalogsearch/result Although a bit above your $10/foot price target you might also check out Audio Envy that are still... | |
| Bought A Set of Martin Logan CLX ART Its Going To Be An Adventure Yeah that’s a huge change in speakers — very brave of you! If I can ask, what prompted you to make such a radical change? Have you tried pulling them out more from the wall yet? 4’ seems a little shallow for speakers of that size and dipole des... | |
| Does a balance headphone exist? And if an headphone sound only inside the head with an headphone feel instead of a speakers feeling outside or around the head it is unbalanced headphone for my ears... Big +1 @mahgister It’s not only about balanced tonality but also imaging... | |
| Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i vs LTA Z40+ Integrated If you’re looking more for a strictly neutral-sounding amp the LTA might be the better choice, but if you’d prefer just a bit of tube warmth the Qualiton is probably better. This is just from reading reviews and feedback from owners so take this ... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch @ghasley Heh heh. I agree that many of my larger audio expenditures were accompanied by a good amount of jitter on my part. I just don’t wanna hear it is all. | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch I am not arguing that you don’t hear a difference. But why are you hearing that difference? Anyone have any insight to that? What does that audiophile quality switch do that makes it better? @charliech What you’re completely missing here is noi... | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I’m sorry but I really don’t. My only semi-informed guess is that MF amps are a little warmer, fuller, and perhaps a little less detailed up top that may be why some people with Focal speakers may like them, but I really dunno. If you don’t find... | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I have Soliloquy 6.2s — no longer in business but think Joseph Audio RM25XL and that’s basically their sound profile. Very natural sounding with excellent 3D imaging/soundstage. Since you asked, here’s a review I wrote of them 20 years ago (yikes!... | |
| Subwoofer What’s your budget, and any size limits/restrictions? | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I found pairing my BP6 with a 2B SST was a bit too clinical sounding and my McCormack DNA 0.5 RevA was a much better fit as it added some oomph and tonality I was missing yet retained the detail and transparency of the BP6. I’d highly recommend b... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @lbarbish Have a look at these that’ll likely sound much better than your current Linns (I used to sell Linn gear) and might work well with your new decor. Good luck with the move and the speakers! https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649985660-j... | |
| Starter setup Well, there’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back. Thanks for nothing bot. |
