NAIM SN3 enough juice for the new Dyn Contour 60i?olks
I think the c60 needs some room to breathe. I’ve been considering a pair but keep waffling Because being rear ported with dual 9’’ woofers, well on the one hand there’s no such thing as too much bass, unless it doesn’t connect with the room. The d... 
Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
I think everyone here needs to peel off a couple tabs of mr natural take a nice long evening walk and then come back and explain facts vs reality, science vs science fiction, etc. dsp after sound leaves the box is available to everyone and if you ... 
Looking at Focal
I brought the kanta3 home for a week long demo, they were the store demos and had plenty of hours on them. In my room there was a 10 dB peak at 100 hz down to-20 at 80hz and gone by 60 hz! The mids and treble were smooth and enjoyable and I liked ... 
Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers
The statement products at axpona I see and hear never do anything that makes me want them. Huge statement products set the bar so high no matter how they sound they don't measure up. How about the F1 audio magico with what 4 subs? The kef muon?  I... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
I own a euro sportbike, can ride the wheels off it, but pay to have the valve clearances checked every 18k, does that mean I don't enjoy what i'm doing? maybe my skill isn't what I think it is or maybe I only think i'm having fun. 
DSP8000’s se upgrade
The contenders were in the $25k range, and I bought several but after owning them I didn't want to go down the dark hole of blind amp purchases after my usually capable h360 would overheat driving them. I mean we don't know for sure if we'll ever ... 
DSP8000’s se upgrade
Took over a year for this thread to get noticed. I took a leap of faith and got a deal on the se upgrade like a year ago or two months after I posted this thread. I got a buy it now price for the se kit that was to good to pass up. I kinda feel fo... 
Upgrading Aerial Acoustics Model 7T
Meridian dsp 7200se, buy used and pocket the change. At least get a listen so you understand what you give up with passives. D&D, KII3, Genelec. Just demo any dsp active, I picked M because they've been doing it longest and used prices are a s... 
Really need some help finding a full range speaker
why not the persona b? probably sound full range and if not you can add a sub next year. when on sale they limbo under the $5k mark. 
Best speakers 5k 10 k
Seriously, still no votes for redbud? 
Integrated amplifier sound
My ADS speakers were bright and needed careful component matching. I'm a little surprised the mf wasn't an upgrade from acurus. I used HK citation with decent results with the ADS L9e speakers I think I also liked the B&K 4420 that you can fin...

Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
IDK how someone can buy from the recommendation of strangers? just google stereophile's latest Recommended components and buy what they tell you, you may not like the sound but you'll have 2 years to enjoy being front of the class. 
Speakers that are a great value!
Can a guy working out of his garage buy a kit from madisound or the like and compete with companies that have unlimited resources? I build houses, but wouldn't be able to compete with pulte/dell webb. The guy in the garage is paying more for the r...
