| 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... | |
| Favorite cover? One of my favs and dare I say better than the original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFQ6WmxdMs Mumford n Sons The Boxer & I'm on Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAl-vZsswb4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU6p7nsk9lo | |
| cm10 S2 and Rotel RX-1050 when bi-wired on A and B speakers Rotel overheats easily Probably because speaker b is a parallel amp channel to speaker a. In order to actually BiAmp you would need to add an external 2ch amp.Also a lack of ventilation and air flow will create a large amount of heat | |
| High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k I used a Tang Band 8" full range in a custom built cabinet being powered from a Schiit Aegir (20wpc) and really enjoy it. I, too, have a small listening room (11.5 x 14) so I'm in the same boat as you. I looked long and hard at the Omega speakers,... | |

| Audio Nirvana Drivers I assume you meant me. I had the drivers for about 6 months and probably a couple hundred hours on them. I have a smallish dedicated treated room and I moved my towers in a 2ft circle with no toe to pointing directly at me and could not get them t... | |
| Audio Nirvana Drivers @wig Well here's an update. I returned my AN Super 8s for a refund. The mid/upper midrange was so "shouty" that I (nor my hifi friends that listened to them) couldn't live with it. I tried moving my speakers around and a different amp but it would... | |
| Anyone running Schiit Audio Freya preamp and a pair of Vidar power amps? What speakers? Audio Nirvana full range 8" | |
| Audio Nirvana Drivers wig,Yeah I did weds night. Straight out of the box the midrange and high frequency is more apparent than the 6.5s which covers the bass a little more. I would imagine once I can get some hours on them they'll sweeten up and settle down | |
| Audio Nirvana Drivers I've had the Classic 6.5 for a about 3 years and last year I put them in their recommended 2.8 MKII boxes which made a huge performance increase. I just received my Super 8s to replace the 6.5 and will install them tonight so I can't report on the... | |
