| Tannoy XT8F vs. Fyne F502 I just ordered the F501s and I chose them over the Tannoy based on looks and the materials. Also, the Tannoys have been around a while so I'd guess the Fyne versions will be a bit more up to date. | |
| Truly High Efficiency, High Quality, Nearfield Usable, Affordable Speakers, Do They Exist? I'll also throw in the Omega speaker recommendation. If your friend is handy there's a ton of 6" and 8" kits that would foot the bill and is pretty cheap. Madisound has a few kits using Fostex Drivers which are really efficient. THe other cool par... | |
| is the Tannoy Xt 8f a warm speaker?? I've been eyeing the XT6Fs for my smallish room (11.5x14). I'm using a 8" full range currently on a full stack of Schiit. I've read a bunch about both of these and I, too, am worried I won't like them if they are "bright". However, on my gear I th... | |
| Bache Audio Tribeca They do look very interesting and I wished I could hear them over here on the west coast. | |
| Battery Back-Ups, Surge Protectors and Power Strips Surge protection is my vote. I have a Furman Elite 15 for my head end and a Richard Gray 400 Pro for my amps.Battery back ups don't last long with audio gear. | |
| Schiit Aegir Of the 4 pieces of Schiit I've ordered I have only had a delay once when I ordered my preamp.It's a great product and they're a small company so things happen. btw the Aegir is a fantastic amp for the money with higher efficient speakers and even ... | |

| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs Man, I want to try this speaker/sub combo out sooooo bad. I emailed GR and told them about my smallish (11.5W x 14D x 8H) room and Danny's response was " Open baffle speakers like the NX-Otica are more room friendly than a set of mini-monitors." a... | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + @mkh1099 They told me the same thing and to be honest I never really heard a difference from any of my Schiit stuff after hundreds of hours of play time vs right out of the box. I replaced the stock tubes to their recommended Tung Sol "upgrade" an... | |
| Great Rock System on the Cheap (ish)! Sounds like a great system that, most importantly, you enjoy! On a side note I’m a fan of Alice and Chains as well and have worn out my copies of unplugged and jar of flies on vinyl. | |
| Which AV Receiver? Save a little more money and grab a Anthem MRX520, no other brand comes close to their room correction software and it's full featured. | |
| Newb..pls help. Looks like the 1572 has a much better DAC so you could use the digital out of your Marantz into it and it'll make it sound a bit better. Also the 1572 does DSD via the PC-USB in case that's an interest. If neither of those are of interest to you t... | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. I've seen some good press on the Klipsch RPM600 and I think they're within your budget. | |
| Schiit Freya Plus tubes and tube rolling I've got the previous Freya and went from the stock tubes, then to the Tung Sols and landed on the PSVane. I got them off Amazon of all places and it added a bit better sound than the Tung Sol and over all I'm really happy. I had to grind the tube... | |
| B&W - THE Nautilus. To echo some of the sentiment from the gentleman above, I too have had the pleasure of listening to these and it sounds like it may have been the same traveling demo system. I heard them with the then debuted Classe Sigma series. There was the Sig... |
