| Speaker match for Chord DAVE and D'Agostino Progression Integrated Nice electronics. With your sized room, price range, and preferences I’d highly recommend putting Joseph Audio Pearls on your list to audition. Best of luck. | |
| Goldenear Triton One R vs. PSB T3. vs. Spendor D7... The Profiles are very similar in size and weight to the D7.2 and look to go about 10Hz deeper in bass at -2dB. | |
| to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong! I don’t really understand what you did from your description, but the first recording sounds like a typical flat, gray, lifeless MP3 track while the second sounds like a more dimensional, cleaner, clearer 16/44 recording. Not even close in my book. | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks Does seem like a lot of earth-hating amp for the $ though relative to the likes of Pass, Clayton, Gryphon, Boulder, etc. I hope he at least puts a low-bias switch on this monster. @noble100 — thanks a ton for reminding me of the D-Sonic amps. Th... | |
| Goldenear Triton One R vs. PSB T3. vs. Spendor D7... For what you’re looking for, of the three I’d think the Spendors would be your best bet. However, in that price range I’d hands down choose the Joseph Audio Profiles over any of them. JA speakers are outstanding when it comes to imaging, soundst... | |
| Want it Incorporate video into current audio only system, Yeah, if you’re truly just “watching TV” I’d just make whatever connection you need (as above) to what you have and be done with it. If, however, you watch movies and would like to make that significantly more entertaining without changing your 2... | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers Not sure I’d spend upwards of $10k to power 3.6es (and I do think they’re great speakers), but what do I know? The Clayton Audio M200s will drive the hell out of ’em but not sure how they’d fare on the WAF scale. The S100 might be a little more ... | |
| powercords With the preponderance of reputable direct-selling cable manufacturers out there offering free in-home trials, why not just try it for yourself since you’re the only one who matters anyway? It’s gonna make a difference, but it’s system and equipme... | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Start with a Zen Mini Mklll and upgrade the DAC and power supply as funds allow. | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. Nice speakers. If you can do separates there was a McCormack DNA-500 available for $3300 on US Audio Mart, and paired with something like a loaded Don Sachs tube pre for $2500 I think you’d hear some real magic from your Revels. Another good pre o... | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. What aspects of system/amp performance and sound reproduction are most important to you? | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers Budget? | |
| Little advice on upgrading current speakers Several thoughts for you:The Venere series doesn’t sound like SF’s more traditional lines, so if you like the sound of the 1.5s you may not be as fond of the Olympicas. Frankly, if rock/metal is your main genre, SF is not the way I’d go. I had t... | |
| Episode ES-500-AW-8 outdoor speakers Episode seems to sell mainly to installers, which is probably why you’re not getting any responses here. I came across them while doing some research for a friend whose installer was pushing Episode speakers, and they seemed pretty decent (depend... | |
| Need more heft The new LSA-20 Statements are on sale here now for $4500/pr and includes some nice speaker cables in the deal. They go down to 25Hz and will likely better your Souls in virtually every parameter. There’s a review on Part Time Audiophile that use... |
