| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? Rather than arguing about quality of parts. I think it is very important to see what kind of budget that James wants to use. I tend to be more frugal than others here and I’d hate to discourage him from an update. Even with some less expensive par... | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? Thanks for the kind words marqmike. I have contributed in many threads with Grannyring and agree he is a voice of reason and I would add... knowledgeable. | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? I can do these for you. I'm realistically going to take your budget and spend it as wisely as possible making most audible changes first. This was my business many years ago, today it is my hobby. PM me if interested. I'm also happy to provide i... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster I agree with passet02 Maybe not with quite the finesse for words. I’m not sure, but 450 watts in stereo mode may just be adequate power for these speakers. I’d really be interested to see if anyone has heard these. It would also be interesting to ... | |

| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? @invictus005 Sorry, not trying to offend, but In my experience AudioCap Theta are bright sounding and they lean thin and are not the last word in transparency. I can only suggest that you do some comparisons. I personally prefer any Clarity or Mun... | |
| Possible Upgrade In my mind, this is a no brainer that the preamp is the wink link, then as mentioned, a decent dac will do wonders. | |
| KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA? @fast A couple of recommendations... 1st, put a rug or 2 on the floor in front of and in between you and the speakers. Next, I strongly recommend the triangular type set up... Meaning your distance between the center of your speakers is the ... | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 @legarem There are some good recommendations on here and I agree that they don't all meet your taste. The AR 100.2 is a solid performer, natural sounding amp, it may be a bit more detailed than you want, but this is a nice sounding amp. What I ... | |
