| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Despite ownership biases, I live the Burmester 911mk3. I’m sure there are amps which do things better than these, but in my view the 911mk3, especially in mono cofiguration have an incredible balance of power, finesse and control. | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Hi, I have been following this and similar threads ( solely from the point of view of entertainment value) and I do respect everyone’s opinion if based on first hand experience. I too am a sceptic till I hear a noticeable difference, notwithstandi... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? I don't have a top 3 as I haven't tried many. But I can say with conviction that the Sablon Audio Reserva Elite beat my erstwhile Nordost Blue Heaven in every parameter. Anyone who believes canles make make a difference and does not want to spend ... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars I can't help but second the Revel Salons....very underrated though they need lots of power to sing! | |
| Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors Just so that we are clear, I am not denying that quality almost always trumps quantity. But I don't agree that the Aviors are an easy load. In any case, ease of drive is relative and to that extent I do agree they are an easier load than B&W, ... | |
| Sorbathane under granite slabs for speaker bases? Try Townshend Audio Seismic Podium......these are customized to speaker weight and I believe are right up there in terms of speaker isolation solutions....I haven't tried them myself but those who have swear by it. I have a pair on order though...... | |
| Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors Hi,I have owned the Aviors since 2014 and absolutely love them and while I do get the itch once in a while to look at changing, I haven't heard anything compelling enough to make a move. I currently drive them with the Burmester 911mk3 mono and th... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Not sure if this discussion will ever be conclusive - the only achievement is an opportunity to rant about how stupid it is to spend 39k on a wire upgrade when in view, perceived value is highly personal and subjective - "cynicism is free", indee... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Cables, amongst others, is a very personal thing and the justification for the spend on it is probably even more so depending upon one's perception of value. So, I for one, will not comment on why someone would spend $ 39k on internal wiring upgra... | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? I have the Rockport Aviors and I find them very coherent. They play particularly well at low SPLs. However, I my view, they need good quality, high current amplification to bring out the best in them, especially at low volumes. As such, I second t... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Hi everyone, I just caught up with this thread this morning and it amuses me to no end that it has digressed ( and degenerated) so much away into a fist fight of "who's is bigger". The way people go about defending their views on speaker brands se... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 I must admit, the addition of a pair of subwoofers has improved the scale quite a bit bringing the performance closer to large floor standers, which only leaves the issue of adjustability unaddressed. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 Thanks Marco and jwm.clearly, I am making no move without an audition. At this level, it does come down to personal taste. I agree with jwm that it's not just about bass integration, though my original point was that I would like the flexibility t... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 Thanks, Mike. Yes, Kedar had only good things to say about your set up and your hospitality, to boot!if I am ever in your part of the world, I will readily take you up on the offer.i need to now look at ways in which I can probably get a MM2 to st... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 Hi melbguy1,thanks for your thoughts. I like magico S series more than the Q. Having said this, I clearly preferred the Avior to the S5. I'm sure the mark II S5 should be better in all respects but I wouldn't want to move just for that reason. As ... |
