| 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... | |
| Getting the most out of my Definitive Tech bp2000's First, welcome to this wacky world of audio. With your equipment I’d use the monoblocs alone to drive the speakers as they likely have better parts and power supplies (along with more power) than your AVR. And as Duke mentioned, by all means pul... | |
| EVS Millenium DAC II I’ve still got the original EVS Millennium DAC. | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? You’ve got some good recommendations already so I’d just add the Innuos Zen Mk3, which is also a server and has a disc drive so you can rip any discs you have directly into it. Gets very good reviews, and there’s one available here now for $2785.... | |
| Questions on utilizing optical and rca digital outputs I’d definitely use RCA and would highly recommend buying a 1m Apogee Wyde Eye digital cable from Amazon for 40 bucks and use that until you find something better. It flies under the radar because it comes from the pro audio world, which is why it’... |
