| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... Paradigm subs even the most affordable line use ARC room correction and it's usually easy to get a discount on their stuff | |
| Magico A3 price increases 50%+ The A series is entry level Magico, if you want better parts go up the line. Compared to the biggest names in loudspeakers it appears magico follows the same business model | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' I bought a pair of Kef Blades since starting this thread and while I know the two companies have different target sounds, part of the VA appeal is the voicing by Peter Gannister, I take it you could never quite eliminate the midbass hump? pm me wi... | |
| Pairing advice What do you currently have? B&W does have a rep for voicing their speakers tipped up in the top end. Consider your room acoustics and type of music you listen to. | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson I'm sure we all can relate. Why not enjoy what you currently have awhile? It usually takes me 9 months to a year before the shine starts wearing off a new pair of speakers and resale value isn't going to change in that time. | |
| Advice on a streamer I use a roon nucleus but there's a use fee above the purchase price. | |
| Tidal is corrupt ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... It's been awhile since my ADS L9e speakers, but I remember them and I think at your $3k point Rogue audio would be worth a try. | |
| How do reference speakers rank to today's standard I got 25 years out of a pair of kef R105/3’s and I was rocking 104-114 db daily. Stepping up from those cost me a fortune. I think inflation has moved much faster than progress wrt loudspeakers. While I’m not familiar with your brand I doubt anyth... | |

| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? I wasn't bashing magico or the A5. When I read stereophile writers i try to read between the lines as their listening impressions more and more stray from what measurements suggest they should be hearing. I'm NOT an asr guy, and usually trust my o... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass I brought the Kanta 3's home as I really liked the mids and top end, but when I got them home the bass was. disappointing. a large 10 db peak at 100 hz and dropping like a rock from there with no port support so +10 at 100 hz, flat at 80 hz and go... | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? henry201, if I repeated my post I guess that just happens sometimes, but I need to be clear I haven't heard the A5 or measured them. In stereophile's review look at figure 6 in the measurements and tell me what you think | |
| Kef Blade two mixed use Been running the blades with a h360 for a little over a month now and there’s been several great speakers that always seemed like they were better at some things but not others. 1 local kef dealer (doesn’t carry blades) told me the h360 wouldn’t b... | |
| Welcome Back! Hey Doug I would swear I read a review where you bought the pair for reference? are these replacements or personal enjoyment? |
