| I need cables for my 2 channel system When it comes to interconnects, cables, and PCs, there's really very little reason to not just buy used and flip as necessary. You'll save a ton over buying new, so I just don't see the value of something like the Cable Co. because used wires are... | |
| Does anyone have any experience of hybrid valve and solid state power amps? I had the Rogue Medusa in my system on demo and it was a really good piece. Outstanding dynamics, imaging, and soundstaging. The fact that you can tune it with the input tube to cater to your system and tastes is such a nice bonus. | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 +1 Joseph Audio. Some of the best imaging speakers available and well worth seeking out to audition. In addition to the Profiles you should also audition the Pulsars just for reference if nothing else. ProAc and Vandersteen also image superbly ... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 Yeah, running $10,000 speakers through the preamp section of a $1400 AVR, even a good one, will be a huge bottleneck to your sound. If it were me, I'd split the $10k to get both a good stereo preamp (that you can continue to use in conjunction wi... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 What are your current speakers, what are you looking to improve upon, and what sound reproduction characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions Given what you're looking for I'd get the Allnic L3000 mkII tubed preamp and one of the PBN amps available here now (mini Olympia or EBSA1), take my ball and go home. PBN amps are the clearest and cleanest sounding amps I've ever heard, and they ... | |
| Amplification for Magico S1 (mk i) I've heard Alon Wolf is fond of and recommends Hegel amplifiers. There are some H20s available here now in your price range. Best of luck. | |
| Preamp Advice Needed - Gryphon Amp - Currently ARC Ref5se What interconnects, cables, and power cords are you using? | |
| Floor Speakers Needed after "Remodel" I heard the Minuets (basically the monitor version of the Preludes) at a show demo with mid-level electronics, and they produced a jaw-dropping reproduction of an acoustic standup bass in a good-sized room. There’s a lot more to speaker design tha... | |
| Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub The Lyngdorf 2170 just seems to do everything you're looking for. I'd save my sheckles and/or just wait for one to hit your price threshold. Seems like the perfect solution for your situation. | |
| Floor Speakers Needed after "Remodel" Yeah, you have a pretty good-sized room and a fairly low-powered AVR -- not an optimal starting point and will limit your speaker choices, especially at your price point. Case in point, although all very good speakers I wouldn't recommend any of ... | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers Cool. By all accounts you bought some great speakers. Keep the faith -- millennials be damned. | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers IME, 25 year olds barely know where their wieners are much less anything else. My speakers are older than him, and they sounded like crap when I first got them to the point that I almost returned them. My speakers are 2-way towers and took about... | |
| ~$4,000 home theater + music system? A couple years ago my brother asked me a similar question. Given his limited budget and inability to hear many systems in his area, I recommended he try some speakers from Aperion since they get very good reviews and offer a 60-day return policy. ... | |
| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? Sometimes it's better to not think so much about how a speaker is made but rather to just enjoy it if you like it. Kind of like tacos...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JuBGPylPVIU |
