| Need advice @mormark — My deepest apologies. After years of being here I get a little frustrated when certain information isn’t provided, and I failed to realize you’re new here. Welcome, by the way. I’m honestly trying to help here and hopefully get you bett... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Wait. You’re crossing over the subs at 90Hz with the Salons? Why??? That makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. First, you can probably crossover the subs at 40Hz or less with those speakers, and second the sub becomes more directional an... | |
| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? There’s a McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe available on EBay for $2100. Puts out 300Wpc into 8 Ohms and 600Wpc into 4 Ohms. Is that badass enough? Oh, and it’s an awesome amp too. | |
| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation It’s possible the Joseph Audio Prism could work. They don’t specify sensitivity, but minimum impedance is stated to be 7Ohms. | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s You want a real speaker? There is a pair of Usher Audio CP- 8571 II Dancers available here now for $2700 (list $7500). They’re gorgeous and their sound will literally astound you. They’re a steal at this price. You can read a review of them at Ab... | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s @georgehifi — I think you’re confusing the Venere line with SF’s “normal” speakers. The Venere sound is much more bright and forward than the rest of the SF line — it was made to fit a lower price point and attract a different type of customer. ... | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s You are wrong, the Venere 3 Signature being the top of the Venere line is made in Italy and has a very beautiful and heavy cabinet.No, you are wrong. They’re not made in Italy, and their cabinets are still crap. Here’s a quote from Soundstage Acce... | |
| Need advice Blah blah blah? You know why it’s blah blah blah? Because you haven’t even bothered to give us any information about what sound and speaker characteristics are most important to you. Do you think maybe that might be some good information to have f... | |
| Emotiva RMC-1 or RMC-1L Yup, there are already problems with the RMC-1. Emotiva just seems to have problems producing bug-free prepros. My advice, go elsewhere. Classé, Anthem, etc. Here’s an excerpt from the RMC-1 thread on AVS Forum...This little bit here says a LO... | |
| Need updated opinions on R2R vs Multibit delta sigma DACs To me, it’s very analogous to the tubes vs. SS debate. Both can sound awesome. As usual, it comes down to personal taste. I’ve been told by someone who builds his own high-end DACs that the difference between single bit and R2R is not very sign... | |
| Preamp with external processor loop You don’t need an HT bypass at all. You can use any line-level input (let’s say Aux) and just level match that with your processor. What I did was set my preamp’s volume knob to 12:00 in Aux and then matched the rest of the processor’s channels ... | |
| What Ampliffier And Magico A3 Alon Wolf is said to be very fond of Hegel amps. | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s Stay away from the Venere line. The cabinets are very light and cheap and limit the performance of the design. There are tons of other great options out there. What’s your price range? | |
| Vimberg Speakers You might want to ask Jeff Fritz at Soundstage! if he has any thoughts or opinions on this. He currently uses Vimbergs as his reference speakers for reviewing purposes. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations I’ve used Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun biwires in my system forever. Very neutral and natural sounding with great tone, detail, and soundstage. Had some others come through the door but the Zens always stay in the end. Easy to sell if they don’t... |
