| Usher Grand Towers There was a pair in Chicago selling for less than half price. At the time I had the be20 dmd’s and thought the grands would be a step back. Those things are huge. | |
| The bass is the place... I I agree. My dealer has a pair of full range persona 7f set up to sound magnificent yet when he supplements the bass with a sub the soundstage opens up even more and while the bass probably measures +10db more sounds better. Getting that elusive ... | |
| Magico vs the world for cost no object the Meridian DSP 7200 and dsp 8000 speakers have cabinets that have no measurable resonances, not sure any other manufacturer can say that. Buy used for a song and upgrade to the se kit and for a total system cost of $25k with t... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science How can the audio industry (HIFI) benefit from new measurements that would shine a light on whats really going on? Audiophiles are paying for what subjectively steals headlines. Look at how the Wilson Sasha daw measures in room and tell me consume... | |
| Most musical stand mount loudspeakers Technically my dsp8000's are stand mounts with a mid and tweeter in their own enclosure sitting atop a 6 driver 1 + 1/2 way woofer operating from 200 hz down and used cost half what the little raidho's would new. | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? 850 miles. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers go listen to the expensive stuff and figure out whats the most important aspect of playback to you and we can narrow the field some. VA, Klipsch, and Martin Logan shouldn’t all be in the same thread.I heard a pair of $400 paradigm stand mounts tha... | |
| Are all red book cd transports created equal? My reason for posting is that I have a decent quantity of discs I can’t get on tidal and since my reference transport kicked the bucket I wanted to know what you guys, in your own experience find using different transports. I’m not comparing strea... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room I agree with agustus and for the cost of used Meridian DSP you can’t go wrong, however they will no longer be offering the se upgrade after the end of the month. Having done it myself I can say I’m done. Now when I go out listening to demos my sys... | |
| Most musical stand mount loudspeakers the best demo i heard for stand mount was axpona 2018 next level room and the raidho d1.2 speakers $27k. Little closer to reality was at simply stereo playing the paradigm persona b $6k streaming thru the anthem str integrated. | |
| Looking into speaker upgrade/change? If you don’t have a problem with used Dynaudio C60 lists $10k. I heard them with 6 figure components so it is possible anything would have sounded great. I like dynamics, resolution and sound stage full range. If I stayed with passive speakers I w... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! I had a nova 300 on loan and thought for the money it was really good. I never got the impression it was opening any hidden doors or unlocking my speakers. I considered Pass, but a hegel h360 won the contest with the speakers I had, the Revel salo... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good shucks, | |
| Liking MQA I use meridian dsp8000 se, a roon nucleus and a 218 dac and I can really hear the difference in decent recordings now. More because this be tweeter is a bit unforgiving and on average recordings I turn the volume down a bit while on the better rec... | |
| Are all red book cd transports created equal? I bought a roon nucleus last year and have a sub to tidal. my pre/dac can do the first fold and if I finally understand this a dac inside my dsp speakers does the 2nd fold. I managed to get much of my library loaded into the hdd but still have sev... |
