| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. @usery - don't bother with kenjit too much. His needle has skipped off the record a few too many times. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Here's a nice pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars in your price range that should be a significant upgrade over your already excellent Boxers. Best of luck. https://tmraudio.com/speakers/bookshelf-monitors/joseph-audio-pulsar-bookshelf-speakers-gloss-bl... | |
| Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA... Sounds like you may have found some good synergy with the Wywires, but if you're still up for another comparison here's a pair of AZ Silver Ref IIs you could probably sell for little/no loss if they don't work out. I'm not a fan of the AZ Matrix ... | |
| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 and Bose Lifestyle? The term "polishing a turd" seems particularly relevant here. Sell that crap for anything you can get for it and take it as penance for making that terrible decision. Look at this as a rebirth and console yourself with the realization that nothing... | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp I'd talk to Don Sachs about him building you one of his SP14 preamps. At your price you could get one new with some nice upgrades I'd think. Backert also makes nice preamps in that price range. Best of luck. | |
| All in One Integrated Amp or dac streamer plus amp - around 5k to 6k USD Given the features and sound characteristics you're looking for and that your speakers probably appreciate some power, I think the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 would be a very good choice. And you get their RoomPerfect room correction as a nice bonus. Fro... | |
| DAC: Before I jump in... That you'd like to "improve things" over the Node's internal DAC doesn't really give us much to go on here. What sound characteristics are most important to you and what would you like to improve upon over what you're hearing now? | |
| Hi-Fi amp recommendation No info on what amp and sound characteristics are most important to you, what you're looking to improve upon, or your budget. You won't get very helpful or meaningful recommendations without sharing this critical info. | |
| Suggestions for Best Complete System -$1,000 or less??? This was a fun exercise. I came up with Wharfdale Diamond 10.1 monitors with a Dayton 12" sub and a PS Audio Sprout100 fed by a Google Chromecast Audio (discontinued but available on EBay for about 40 bucks). The whole shebang (all components br... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for classical music Not much to go on, but here's a nice pair of Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus in your price range. Great sounding monitors that don't require gobs of power to sound good. Best of luck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283583900981?ul_ref=https%253A%252F%2... | |
| Emotiva separates or Yamaha AVR recommendation? You might also consider a higher quality AVR like those from Anthem. Here's a used MRX 710 and a new MRX 520 just as examples...https://www.ebay.com/itm/333311530070?ul_ref=https%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F...https://www.eba... | |
| Recommendations for modest budget Here's a great system almost identical to one I put together for my brother, and it sounds absolutely fantastic for movies and surprisingly good for music too. Includes a sub that will get you down to an honest 20Hz so you'll really feel earth-sh... | |
| Caution - N00b Question: Need an opinion on 2 channel audio source/amp Big +1 to @reubent -- I've done the same type of setup and it's truly the best of both worlds. You don't want any of that HT gear messing with your pure 2-channel enjoyment. | |
| Why do you like ur line array’s @ozzy owns the Carver ALS speakers and maybe he'll chime in at some point if he sees this. | |
| The best looking speakers These are sweet. I hung a black v-shaped shag carpet between them to lock in the center image and it worked well, but for some reason I kept getting really horny while sitting in the sweet spot...https://aer-loudspeakers.com/wp-content/uploads/201... |
