| Anthem STF Integrated ARC I bought a paradigm sub that came with ARC. I downloaded the app and followed the simple instructions which were to hold the tablet in the room as shown in the open app, 5 positions in total if I remember, and presto. I think ARC works from 300hz ... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components I went on a rampage in the early 90’s and brought home every 150-200 wpc ss amp I could and they all sounded alike. I was shopping at B&K, Adcom, prices so no wonder nothing stood out. Stepping up a little bit a krell kav 300 I’l convinced me ... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components The h590 has even a touch more. Maybe I’m asking the impossible trying to get high volume detail and dynamics at low listening levels? My ears probably aren’t sensitive enough anymore but It’s all My systems missing | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components Thanks for the replies, I’m looking around the room wondering if I have to much damping on the walls. My next thought is to throw more power at the blades using the A3000HV on top with the H590 pushing the woofers but I can’t find the gain for eit... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components what i'm looking for in my current system is low to mid volume presence. The H590 and blade 1's do a great job at moderate to loud volume buy to get any kind of dynamics the volume needs to be in the 80-90 db range. Maybe it's the way recordings a... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components This thread has been chugging along for four years now. I’m using a Hegel h590 to drive my kef blades and for the price I can’t complain, I sure would like to get the A3000HV with a quality dac/pre to compare. I can’t justify the price of the SDV3... | |
| KEF Reference 1 v 107/2 I had the R107/2 with kube and for the day they were a good value. Matched veneers, output matching to .5 db and flat bass to 20hz without the typical woofer boost at 100 hz. The 107/2 was colored though, a bit bright up top with a little chestyne... | |
| Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point? There was a pair of Raidho D5’s on sale used on another forum that sold for $17k! 4-5 year old speakers that retail for over $200k sold for less than the sale tax. Not only did they sell that cheap but they sat a bit. I had the money but I honest... | |
| Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub? I brought the kanta 3’s home and driving them with a 250/425 wpc amp they didn’t prodice any bass below 80 hz! There was a 10 db boost around 100hz and then it dropped like a rock to be flat at 80 hz down -20db at 60 hz where I usually have room g... | |
| What is your opinion of single driver speakers great for headphones. | |
| Kal was right! Congrats non your s7t's! I got lucky at axpona and walked into an empty room so I could grab the sweet spot and listen. Soundstage and imaging with the intensity of a mini monitor with bass and dynamics of a full range speaker was what I heard. A ... | |
| Meridian enthusiasts please help. Hi fellow M owner, I have a Meridian 218 preamp, it's $1000 new. It's a cheap plastic case packed with everything you should need. I've asked around about stepping up to the 818V3 with the ID40 card and response has been yes if the speakers don't ... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Hegel is marketing their products as high end with without the high end price. No thick fancy faceplate, no power meters and if we compare them to entry amps of old, Adcom, B&K, anthem/sonic fronters even Rotel I would give the nod to Hegel. A... | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 The first time I heard the kef uniq was the R105/3 in 1990 and it stood out from everything else in the room due to the 3d soundstage and precise imaging that I bought them, wife was 8 months pregnant and we were buying our first house but I didn’... | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 Wow, thanks for taking the time to answer. The T&A HV amp is within reach and looks good, but the HV pre is tough to justify at +$30k for a blue collar guy like me. My only Krell was the kav 300il and while it's not the same level as the xd s... |
