| 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... | |
| Revel’s Sound Signature When we get to this level all the speakers I had in my home were of excellent resolution and dynamics with differences being more in personal preference as every single speaker is a compromise and there's nothing like having a few pair in your bas... | |
| Revel’s Sound Signature Kef has similar design goals with wide flat response and both brands need gobs of power while neither will bowl you over with their bass | |
| Are all red book cd transports created equal? Thanks for the replies. I have the option of burning them to my pc to load into my streamer, but I’m not ready to give up the cd format completely yet. | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! I didn’t think focal made removable grills over their tweeters? That the grills effect the sound of the lower fq’s makes me think they would be good sweater fabric. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms My room is decent till about 80 hz and then I struggle with bass. I was able to get flat measured response to 20 hz when I carted my dipole? Mirage sub with a 12” driver on opposite sides then all the duct work in my basement listening room starte... | |
| ~$6K mini-monitor recommendations? the persona b is on sale til the end of the day but I can’t remember if it’s rear or base ported. I listened to it and the kanta 1 back to back and there’s no comparison. I’m finding great value on this forum for dsp speaker systems that just a fe... |
