| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected Interesting. Never thought to do that nor have I ever read anything about it. But Duh! Seems like common sense now. Thanks. | |
| Mad Scientist wires @rx8man (Mazda reference perhaps?). Can you share what other wires you compared MS to and how they were better? Would help greatly for context. Thanks! | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! HA!!! I think I had the same old Monster Cable wires I bought back in the early 80s. I upgraded to a shotgun biwire pair of Acoustic Zen Satori, and they did for my system exactly what you're looking for. Are you biwiring, and what length do yo... | |
| DAC OR NO DAC??? +1 @caphill -- never underestimate the importance of a good preamp, so it's good to hear you were already looking in that direction. Goodonya!!!Whenever you are ready for a DAC, I'll add the Metrum Onyx if you can find one used. Lots of research... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 I'm afraid rather than narrowing your list I'm just expanding it, maybe with some good candidates that fly under the radar a bit. The ProAc D48r was also on my list though.Nola Studio Grand Reference Gold, available at Upscale Audio for $10,900. ... | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! What are you looking to improve upon with the new cables, and what interconnects and power cords are you using? | |
| Suggestions for an amp Can I ask how much you got the speakers for? | |

A). Liberty is his direct-to-consumer brand that benefits greatly from tri... | |

| Suggestions for an amp "Even though the Hegel seems to be a very good deal at $1600...it is simply more than I planned on spending at this time."HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!! Dude, you're at ground zero of "more than I planned on spending" here. People should have to sign a wai... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Well, since OP so far not willing to specify what kind of improvements he's looking for, I'll submit there's a 2m pair of Acoustic Zen Hologram II on eBay for $599. Great all-around cable I'd think would be tough to beat at that price. But then ... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality "Soix, I have a Monitor Audio 12” Silver Series Sub. I use a Sony BD player for movies right now, soon to be PS4 Slim, and music I have a hard drive with Apple lossless connected to my Netgear Nighthawk router."So, is there a DAC involved here or ... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 The PA3000HV available here now for $10,995 includes full factory warranty according to the ad. | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Couldn't disagree with @stereo5 more. You can't judge an audio component until it breaks in (and you break into it), so if you simply judge it on first listen you're not even close to evaluating it fairly or accurately. I think you're very smart... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality What subwoofer do you have, and what are your sources for music and movies? |
