| Subwoofer Recommendations How did you decide between the sealed vs ported sub on the SB2000?The main reason was you were only looking for one sub so thought space may be a consideration and two SBs are a lot smaller than two PBs while still getting you under 20Hz (-3dB). ... | |
| Marten speakers Show us the evidence Marten! I challenge youWindmills had Don Quixote, we get kenjit. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations I think you’re making a mistake going with only one sub with your budget as two subs yields much better bass integration and performance. For $1500 you can get two SVS SB2000 Pros that go down to 19Hz and include integration electronics, or you c... | |
| Trying to understand B&W’s trickle down strategy So if you can stand what comes out of the expensive ones this trickles down to where you can probably stand the cheap ones too.Ha! Too damn funny. Obviously with the used 805s you have no idea if you’ll like them or not whereas at least you can ... | |
| Receivers compatible with Infinity CS-3008 speakers What’s the power output of your Onkyo? The manual says your speakers are pretty efficient at 90dB and “compatible with an 8Ohm tap” for whatever that’s worth. Unless you’re a total headbanger with bass-heavy music I’d think 100Wpc should be suffi... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? To me, there’s really no substitute for size in producing a grand scale and room-filling sound, the best of which by far IME are tall, line-array designs (Pipedreams, Nola, etc) and larger planar or electrostats. Sure smaller speakers with better... | |
| iPhone/iPad good as a source, or get a streamer? Excellent feedback! Thanks @calvinandhobbes. I’ve been told by people knowledgeable in the field that a wired connection to the router is always preferable to WiFi, but there are also a lot of people here who say as long as you have a good WiFi ... | |
| How to integrate stereo and multi channel? How are you managing two sets of multichannel outputs at the same time, or does the NAD run through the Exasound? | |
| Anthem amp to go with my 1140 receiver or are their better and cheaper options IMO your best and most cost-effective solution would be a stereo integrated amp. Why? Because preamps matter a ton!!! The preamp sections of AVRs are compromised by significant cost constraints and noise, so they simply can’t match the performa... | |
| Power Amp suggestion More detail, faster would be nice.I wouldn’t be looking at changing amps if that’s what you’re looking for. If you really need a change I’d focus on speakers as you’ll get the biggest change, and IMHO speakers from Joseph Audio, Vandersteen, ProA... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! Really not much to go on here. What sound characteristics are most important to you, how big will the room be, and what’s your budget? The more info you provide the better the recommendations you’ll get. | |
| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver The Wyde Eye is a great place to start. I’ve compared it to more expensive interconnects and it is still in my system, and John Atkinson actually used it as his reference digital cable for a while — not that that means much, but it speaks to the ... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please wouldn't adding two highly regarded subs bring them to the same full range sound as the floorstanders under consideration. Or is it about the crossover and coherence of the sound coming from a transducer housed in the same cabinet? This is only my... | |
| Top down or bottom up? Just asking... some of their wealthy clients wouldn't buy a $20K table because it is too cheap!That’s because it’s a luxury good. The demand curve is upward sloping for luxury goods unlike practically everything else, and it’s also why I stated earlier that MA ... | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions If you’re looking for a warmer, fuller sound the RME DAC isn’t your best option IMO. |
