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... | |
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... |
