| I am just very happy with my system. I love my system, yet I also really enjoy listening to new speakers to listen for the changes in playback, for better or worse. I don't know what a c note on the piano is, don't care, but when my favorite music gets boring to listen to when chilli... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Couple years old now, but more and more of a reality as our favorite companies get swallowed by giant corps and start competing at the mass level. I bought a dining room set from a company named Pennsylvania House, a $11k set that I thought meant ... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. I don't put much, if any stock in marketing blurb. PSA was on the cusp of releasing a floor standing speaker, but the showing at Axpona (pre covid) got so little attention that the company threw out that design and started over from scratch. The F... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. sometimes I wonder if there's a translation issue when online. | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions When I was shopping amps for my speakers I really didn't start to hear a difference until I stepped up to a Krell KAV 300il. I already had a B&K 4420 and multiple 150 wpc amps from virtually every 'mid level' Acurus, Sunfire, Nak, Nad, the li... | |
| Dali Epicon 6 vs Rubicon 8 Good points by rick_n, but I still suggest finding the NEW rubikore b4 dropping any coin on Dali. | |
| Speakers that disappear This, Why I liked MQA so much, the hi rez mqa was so spacious sounding that the room, speakers and everything in it disappeared..... I find the further I can get speakers away from reflecting surfaces the easier they vanish audibly. | |
| Upgrade from Revel 228be? If you want to stay with revel the salon 2 are a healthy upgrade that with enough power won't need sub's in your room. I found a pair of Usher be20dmd's that I preferred then midrange and soundstage ability over the salon 2, but the be20 bass was ... | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used fastfreight our OP didn't ask for smooth and sweet, he asked for detail and slam. I understand ASR recommends revel speakers for everything and if someone doesn't prefer them they need to train themselves to listen correctly until they do prefer ... | |
| Dali Epicon 6 vs Rubicon 8 The new Rubikore is a better speaker then the epicon 8 yet retails for half the price, so I have to 2nd bill_k. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Why does everyone tell everybody else to buy what they own? B&W 804D3 will have plenty of detail, more than most in fact. Try moving the speakers around a bit, toe in, closer to boundary's while aiming them at listening position, you know the ... | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? Interesting posts, I generally value Audiotroy's experience however regarding Mac no. I stayed away from Mac for 30 years because of their no discount 'snooty' policy. Recently I replaced an amp with similar power into 4 ohms(my speakers claim) an... | |
| Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice A couple of thoughts. deep_33, Revel does extensive blind listening testing, and has been written up for this in many places. Not just engineering in a box: https://www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/revel-speakers-lineup-overview As for power ... | |
| New speakers for a new start? OP, I read your entire post. Your plan sounds much like mine regarding buy used for the ability to home audition alan. The problem I ran into with my plan was that after the first half a dozen, full range speakers I brought home (crazy how every s... | |
| Amp for Persona B Speakers I owned the 7f for awhile, but listened to them at a dealer for over a year while he used every‘affordable’ amp/int under the sun and while a few came pretty close, I didn't buy them until I heard them with the Pathos Logos mk2. The Persona B ... |
