| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? The OP’s taste is similar to mine so I have lots of suggestions.Agree that the B&W 705 and 805 are worth a listen. Meanwhile a friend of mine has the Dynaudio S40 and they are mighty impressive, but costly.More toward the mass market, I’d cons... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. Will speakers last longer if they're used only occasionally? I have so many and I don't use some of them much at all. Is this a way of making them last? In my case I'm thinking more of parts like crossover caps and such. | |
| Top Notch Desktop System Get some yoga blocks to raise the speakers a few inches above the desk top. | |
| Emerald Physics Loudspeakers Have heard them and found them powerfully seductive, but boy do they need air and space around them. EP even recommends four feet out from the front wall. You need a big room, preferably well-damped. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong I did notice the amps sounded most excellent after about 30 minutes of on time. I did not hear any further changes after that.For my part, the biggest change was in the first minute, right out of the box. Thereafter nothing terribly significant at... | |
| New McIntosh amp build quality The stuff they make in their own factory remains as solid as ever. I agree about the scary complexity of many new offerings though. And I think Mac is introducing too many new products lately. The so-called "lifestyle" pieces could well end up dam... | |
| Pondering a Speaker Upgrade Sorry, I couldn’t wade through that OP. What was that, 2000 words and not a single paragraph break? Heck it may have been one sentence! | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Much of the "intelligence" surrounding this brand is decades old and some of it is generations old. The brand hasn’t stood still, however, and this is coming from someone who’s ambivalent about autoformers.But old stereotypes die hard. I’ve never ... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Life is too short for ugly speakers. Very true. Even if I won the lottery I wouldn’t have Wilson speakers no matter how they sounded. Sonus Faber, maybe. Rockport Avior, definitely. Tannoy Kensington GR, why not!https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0... | |
| Do I need a new amp? Someone recommends the Kinki Studio on every single one of these threads. Is it the same person? I can't be bothered to check. | |
| What brands tend to have the worst resale value? Manly Labs? Resale on those bound to be right up there with Porsh and Ferarri.All three brands misspelled!Bravo! | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s I have MG12's on Sound Anchor stands and the LRS (sitting on shag carpet) still blows it away in definition, detail and imaging. Now get some Sound Anchors for your LRSs and you'll have the best of both worlds. They do make a tremendous difference. | |
| MC462 enough to handle Revel Salon 2’s? This is a joke, right? The MC462 is enough to handle any speaker on the planet. You just have to try it out and see if you like that distinctive autoformer sound. | |
| Any one has experience with Sugden Integrated? I have experience lusting after them, does that count? The Sig Edition with some Tannoys would be some kind of heaven I think. | |
| FYI New Audio Research (ARC) Trade-In Program I calculated that I would have to pay them extra if I wanted to trade in my old CD player :( |
