| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) By your definition I think Joseph Audio would qualify. Probably smaller than most people think. They do it by offering speakers that sound great utilizing proprietary technology, and then they bring them to shows where the product speaks for its... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3.7 in 2018? In looking over various options given your situation I happened upon something that, if I were you, I'd seriously consider. I know you're looking to do this slowly, but sometimes opportunity comes a knockin'. Right now there are a couple Deviale... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3.7 in 2018? Given what you've said it would be helpful to know what your current system components are and what type of improvements you're after and what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you. This sounds like it could be more of a "system... | |
| HT Bypass on preamp The L/R preamp outs from the prepro go to the HT bypass input on the stereo preamp, so only the stereo pre is directly connected to the amp powering the front L/R speakers for both HT or 2-channel audio. That's basically it. BTW, you don't necess... | |
| Y No YG ? Mark, how do they compare to your JA Perspectives? | |
| Y No YG ? They seem to maybe be more respected than loved? Note they're never bought by reviewers even after positive reviews. Too much science, not enough art? Too much lab, not enough listening? Kind of reminds me of Halcro in a way. | |
| What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater? Having this center speaker "almost" at ear level is not sufficient. Having your ears even slightly above the tweeter will result in a big loss in perceived detail from the listening chair. It is most important that the tweeter be at the same lev... | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! Ulfberht is all you need. You don't happen to write copy for Tekton do you? | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" +1 @seahheis1. Two great designers and two great speakers using top components. Interesting that they come to about the same price point indicating -- despite what others might think -- neither is overcharging given they both sell through dealer... | |
| Which do you prefer parasound Halo a21 or McCormack dna1 There’s a DNA 1 with Steve’s Rev A Gold+ level revisions on EBay for $1749. I haven’t heard the A21, but the DNA amps with these revisions set a high bar and are an incredible value used. Best of luck. | |
| Best tube preamp for Quicksilver V4 tube mono's (newest KT150 version) "Best performing" and "bang for the buck" are all completely dependent on what type of sound and characteristics you're looking for. Without this info you're just getting random opinions of what other people like, which may or may not mesh with w... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" I don't think there's anything that special about JA cabinets or drivers, so to me the special sauce that makes their speakers sound so good and different from others (at least to me) is mainly the crossover. So unless you can reproduce the infin... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Yeah congrats rlb61. Years ago I got to compare JA RM25 directly to B&W Nautilus 804 and 803 -- all original versions of speakers. There was nothing, and I mean NOTHING, either of the B&Ws did as well as the JAs (this was at a B&W de... | |
