| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? My vote is an easy one for me, the Aurum Cantus V7F Rosewood finish. Absolutely stunning cabinet finish, efficient so it works with a lot of amps, really great sound with good usable bass down to 40hz (in my smaller dedicated room) and I paid $4k ... | |
| Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer? What kind of deal are you looking for? Check with Upscale, they treated me great when I bought my stuff from them last year. Otherwise, I'd suggest finding a used or demo set. | |
| To Stream w/Optical Or Not I had the EXN version and I went optical, USB and RCA into my Edge A integrated and found the RCA actually sounded the best. Once I got music playing all I had to do was switch inputs and found what worked best for me, I'd suggest the same path fo... | |
| Yamaha+PreAmp or Rotel RA1572 Years ago I had the Rotel RC1090 and I can say, for a factory integrated phono stage, it's the best I had heard. So between your choices, my vote is for the Rotel | |
| Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant? I agree with the comment above. That upgrade is really easy and will breathe some new life into your G1. Keep in mind that (in my opinion) you'll have to spend a bit to beat what you already have. I compared the rose 150 to my modded G1 and I ende... | |
| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps @johnnotkathi Well the brands we mentioned should do the trick so good luck on your search! | |
| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps I had a newer Transnova running the bass panel of my Maggie MGIIIa and it did a great job with that. Depending if you are open to other suggestions or not, there are a lot of amps in that price range that would also work. Example - Adcom & Rot... | |
| Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800 Run your sources into the preamp in 1080p. 80% of people can't tell the difference between 1080p and 4k, also when you stream 4k content you aren't getting that resolution nor HD audio because its compressed. On a side note, your SSP and the Ant... | |
| Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series @elliottbnewcombjr The B&W diamond tweeter is fragile material that can literally shatter if something hits it unlike a aluminum dome that will dent. | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Just to throw out another option that may also help, take a look at the Anthem STR Integrated. You can use the ARC feature to tweak the sound to whatever you like, has a good amount of power and all the connections you could need. The separates a... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers @davetheoilguy That sounds like a really nice patio area! I think the Ambisonic speakers will do a really good job to cover that big of a space. Hopefully there's a dealer near you so they can come out to take a closer look and make their recomm... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers @davetheoilguy Sorry, I guess I need to be more specific. Where are the poles going? Out in the yard facing the listening area? Flanking the Patio? How close to your listening area? How much area are you wanting to cover? Consider the on wal... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers Where are you mounting them? There are a ton of really great outdoor speakers available so depending on your application and budget I'm happy to help you. | |
| Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop I'd suggest a pair of Sonos Era300s and call it done. They sound pretty good, streams every service and you'll be under your budget. | |
| Connecting stereo to outdoor speakers Well, this question is very broad and without seeing the area I'll simply give you some generalities. Your simplest solution is to buy a couple of outdoor rated bluetooth speakers and create a stereo pair. There are several companies to choose fr... |
