| Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater With your preferred music, I'd look to ATC. Here's a nice pair of SCM40s v2 in your price range, shipped from God knows where, but they have good feedback and $190 to ship. They require a bit of power, and maybe @audiotroy can recommend a good a... | |
| Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread Spendors are great. Congrats!!! | |
| Has anyone found a good way to listen to speakers on the used market before buying them? I think you're overthinking this. If you buy for a good price in the used market from a reputable seller, you can likely resell the speakers for little or no loss if they don't work out for you. That's precisely the beauty of the used market. Y... | |
| Please, help me to pick the right center and surround speaker for my home theater For 600 bucks you really can't go wrong with an Aerial center speaker. For surrounds, well, not sure how much you're gonna notice an upgrade there. Maybe some Elacs?https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649493190-aerial-acoustics-cc3-center-speaker/ | |
| Preamps with separate L/R volume controls Yeah, the Sachs Model 2 will get u done...http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20line%20stage.htmlI believe the Atmasphere MP-3 also offers this feature. Both outstanding preamps! They don't have physically separate L/R volume controls, but th... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane +1 @nitewulf -- sage advice. Do you own the Onyx? If so, what have you compared it to? | |
| Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread Here ya go. Just buy these. FANTASTIC all-around speakers and not fussy about upstream electronics. You’ll be thrilled!https://tmraudio.com/speakers/full-range-floorstanding/silverline-audio-technology-sonatina-floorsta...Or, if you really want to... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? +1 @douglas_schroeder -- but the fact remains, when all other pieces of the audio system are dialed in and set, the amp choice still matters. As with everything in audio, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And you can carry that down... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? @georgehifi -- have u looked at Audiokinesis? | |
| Dueland I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. And I learned something. Might be tough to resell them though. Just another thought. | |
| Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp What makes you think you don't have enough power for your center speaker? Are you hearing strain or distortion? I'd think 125wpc should be fine, especially since you're only driving the center and surrounds with the Marantz. | |
| Yg Carmel 1 versus Magico S1 Mk 1 Wow. Tough choice and two great speakers. I will say tough, if it were me I wouldn't buy either without first listening to Magico's own A3, Joseph Audio Perspectives, Vandy Quattros, or ProAc D48s. On a personal note, on a very serendipitous day... | |
| Dueland Are you saying one cable will be 5 feet long and the other 13 feet? I don't have the science behind this, but I'd think it'd have to introduce differences in resistance and other things as well. I wouldn't do this if this is what you're thinking... | |
| Wilson Sasha Daws or Sabrinas Go listen to Joseph Audio Perspectives, Vandy Quattro, or ProAc 48R and potentially save yourself a lot of $$$. | |
| Auditioning had a huge affect on my potential budget Listen to all the great advice given above. You clearly have the ears to be a completely sick audiophile like the rest of us here. You appreciate things a lot of people either don't hear or don't care about. You are absolutely correct that Anth... |
