| Replace Ayre gear & kEF Reference 1s with KEF LS60s? How sensitive is your hearing at 87? It might not matter a whole lot other than the impressive rack of Ayre gear showing a level of success the ls 60 won't convey. | |
| Bi-Amping McIntosh MC303 I use the Kef Blades in a 2 channel system and connect the speaker wires to the 4 ohm taps to my Mc611. The other taps on the back plate of the Mac ampa aren't for multiple speaker wires so much as matching to speaker load. Whatever load you decid... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. An $80k pair of Meridian dsp8000se for $18k | |
| McIntosh C2700: different volume for different outputs? (maybe a dumb question!) seems redundant since the atc actives should have their own volume control and be fed by a line out. | |
| Hegel H190 $2800 I found the H190 to be a big step up from the h160 and it includes a headphone jack on the side. Nice find. | |
| Paradigm 3f vs 120h I have AT’s back here, the 120 will boogie and don’t do anything wrong. The persona’s get a bad rap because they’re very sensitive to component matching and placement, but having spent so much time with the persona 7f in different rooms and with d... | |
| Best place to buy Mcintosh Integrated Amp If you can find a dealer that has a display unit that's within a couple months of being put on display I can't think of another way to get a discount on Mac products. | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? I had A pair of speakers that responded well to a krell kav300il on top but needed more juice for the bass. In that case horizontal biamp made sense. Starting from scratch I think I’m getting great sound with a pair of matching monoblocks 1 per ch... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? You're not dumb, at least not in this regard as speaker room interactions are quite common and placement can make massive differences in sound. | |
| Five feet from the front wall It seems like you guys are leaving out some of the equation? speaker ported, front or rear, speaker depth regarding first reflection and room boundaries. I have a pair of Meridian DSP speakers with an option to time align the bass, their blurb sta... | |
| Best set-up under $20K I have a hegel H360, very nice but I wanted to upgrade the dac after the h30 came out with full MQA decoding so bought a project pre box s2 digital. I have no doubt there's better, but it's cheap and has a low power version of the latest sabre ch... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? My room had bass dropouts regardless of placement until I went with speakers with side firing woofers. I don't understand how or why it would matter and I was also trying different amps so the reason could have been low impedance suckouts, but if ... | |
| Best set-up under $20K used Meridian dsp8000se for a big room. | |
| Borresen X3 Lars knows how to make a show impressive, I’m not an end all measurement freak, but look at how their speakers measure and then consider what kind of music those speakers will take to the next level and what types of music will fall flat? When I r... | |
