| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Acoustic treatment. The room will dictate at least 50% of what your system will sound like. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Nice! Great surprise. Enjoy! | |
| How can they not effect the sound I have three systems, and one of them uses small stand-mounts. One of the tweeters has a small dent. I can't detect any difference in sound quality or volume level compared to the other speaker. I have no explanation, but posted this to confirm wh... | |

| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? If your subs are powered like mine are, and you have both XLR and SE outputs like my preamp does, then you can run your XLR cables to your amp(s), and your SE cables to your subs. Fiddle with the level on your subs to how you like to hear the lowe... | |
| SHIPPING speakers? The best way to sell speakers is getting lucky and having a local buyer. The next best way to sell speakers is meet the buyer half-way and do the deal person to person. The last best way is strapped to a pallet. | |
| SHIPPING speakers? Don't let UPS or any other shipping company pack your speakers. I did that and they arrived at the buyer's home damaged. | |
| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? Schitt? Topping? | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? Yes. Finally. After 50 years. Thankfully. | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric I have the McIntosh MCD600. I think it sounds considerably better than my Luxman and OPPO players. The 600 also has a preamp section so you can go directly to your amps. Sounds better than going through my Topping Pre90. Can't recommend the MCD... | |
| B&W 800 Series D3 vs D4 Forgot to mention adding the subs also improved imaging, soundstage size, top-to-bottom cohesiveness, basically everything. Huge bang for the buck. | |
| B&W 800 Series D3 vs D4 I know this is almost a year later, but I just read it and this might help. I own the 803 D3. Mine also were a little light in the bass. A couple of JL Audio subs took care of the problem. Hope that helps. | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i Don't know where I got the idea your budget was 15k. Must been from another post. | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i OP- ok need smaller speakers. I'm guessing you love the "see through" quality the Maggies do so well. My B&W 803 also do that really well, as did the Vandersteen model 1 and model 2 I've had. The 803 are much more dynamic than the Vandies, and... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I thought about my post and realized it may have come off the wrong way. I am truly sorry for your hearing issues and I honestly believe you would benefit more from headphones than speakers. Best wishes. |
