| No Output from Hegel H390 Wen I bought a Mac c49 I selected the unit from the list of options in roon and even though roon recognized the model I got no output until my dealer found settings I had to change manually in the roon setup page. I went through a similar problem ... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better Eric, I agree with room treatments making much of the difference in what we hear, that said the higher performance we reach for from speakers the more revealing of source. | |

| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? I hear you, and thats what I’ve thought from the beginning but the consistency has been giving me doubt. | |
| My new Borresen X3's Hi Helomech, guilty as charged. My confusion likely comes from lars appearing at both axpona events in consecutive years demonstrating each brand. I’m quick to dismiss the C and D line just because $$$ is justified with words that sound made up in... | |
| My new Borresen X3's Are raidho and borrensen the same company? Both dub their ‘affordable’ line with an X. And they kinda look like they come off the same line. Regardless, as Mr Hursh used to say, if you like this sound you’ll like this speaker. I got to listen to ... | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? My Kef blades needed volume to sound dynamic with my 300 wpc hegel so imagine my surprise when I tried the mc611’s and with the power meters bouncing around .6 of a single watt I was listening to tuneful bass and multiple layers of tones I previou... | |
| If you had to choose... After reading your placement issues I scrapped my suggestion. Maybe a smaller pair of meridian’s? | |
| Watts! How many do we need? I finally bought kit with power meters and I use between .6 and 6 watts most of the time and it takes some kille rock to get the meters bumping up against 60w...So why did swapping out a 301 wpc source for a 600 wpc source make so much of a differ... | |
| New Acquired Sopra 2 I haven't heard Focal with Mac. I brought home the Kanta 3's and used my hegel h360 to drive them and didn't care for the match at all. The Pathos logos mk 2 or Mac Ma352 would likely sound great with the Sopra. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Experts have been predicting the demise of Harley Davidson for 2 decades now because us boomers are dying off, but I would suggest it's more the result of a dwindling middle class than 'boomers' causing moderately expensive hobbies to fade away. | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? Matching inefficient speakers to capable amps can overcome the loss of low volume dynamics that happens to us with large speakers. Something I can speak first hand to. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, Pretty sure the KEF Blade design is 12 years old I love them. | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better I didn't read previous posts so apologize if I'm repeating someone. The appeal of active speakers for me was the frustration of buying passive speakers and bringing them home to find they sounded completely different! Dealers will say the speaker... | |
| Has anyone tried to launch a for sale ad here, lately? Many buyers want to use paypal for their security, add that to the fees on this site we're at 8% now we add shipping and the prospective buyer is better off buying a demo with warranty from the local shop! Agon really is just for subscribed dealer... |
