| Building a 2-channel audio system using Bowers & Wilson 800D3 speakers Depending on your budget - When I worked for a B&W dealer we installed a pair of 800D2 on a full Esoteric system with Transparent Audio cabling and is was life changing. Also, I agree with FastFreight comments with using Classe` or a warmer S... | |
| SpeakerFest 2022 Scheduled for Saturday August 27th 10am-4pm Fountain Hills, Arizona I'm looking forward to the results of this! | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? How they sound is most important to me. Aesthetics are also a consideration but depending on their sound I can look past what they look like (i.e. Magnepan). Measurements are great and all but they won't be the same in my room vs where ever they... | |
| NSMT = OMG!! I just emailed them asking what speaker would be a good fit for my system/room so it'll be interesting to see what they say. | |
| Music for the Pacific Audiofest show I've been using this song for a bit to demo systems Damien Rice - 9 Crimes | |

| In-ceiling: Am I wasting my money? I’ve sold a lot of the Sonance VP82R 8" 3way in ceiling speakers powered by the matching DSP amplifiers. I’ve even added their back boxes to help the sound out even more. Now of course, budget wise, this is well above the Monoprice/Sonos combo but... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Aurum Cantus V7F would be my vote, I sure enjoy mine! http://aucantus.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=14&id=111 | |
| Avalon Acoustics reputation I can confirm the service aspect, they are terrible at helping their clients out. I worked for a dealer a few years ago and trying to get replacement parts from them was a big hassle every time. | |
| Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ? I went from the Vault2i to a Lumin U1 Mini and a week later after sending the Lumin back I landed on the Auralic Aries G1. The Vault is a pretty unit but the Auralic was definitely a step up and easily bested the Lumin). I currently have my Aurali... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30 or ATC SCM40 Which ever one you like the sound of better. If you can't go to a dealer and listen to them then order them both and send back which ever you don't like. | |
| Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k If you liked the Sonus Faber, buy them that's my advice. Otherwise go listen to a bunch of others in that price range and if you like something you hear better buy that instead. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I didn't think it was to bad. I have a dedicated treated 11.5 x 14 room. I have a pair of subs, moved them around the room while using REW to measure each position. Once I got the placement close to my liking I then used the on board adjustments ... |
