| Danacables Sapphire Mk 2 Speaker Cables Usually do, but looked at their website and different approach/technology behind their cables. Sounds interesting enough just wondering what others may have experienced. | |
| Axpona Show 2019 I’m going all 3 days, it won’t be returning until October 2020. I heard they tried to push it back this year to October but too many complaints. Fortunately I am only 20 minutes away. Check out Qintessence Audio rooms and Holm Audio both local dea... | |
| Axpona Show 2019 My pleasure, hope you can make this show, it’s pretty awesome. | |
| Axpona Show 2019 There are 4 hotels listed on the Axpona site under Travel, in addition to the hosting hotel, not sure if that qualifies as partnering lodging, they are all close to the show. Rates look reasonable for Schaumburg. From what I have seen the Axpona t... | |
| Axpona 2019, what to expect So much to see and hear. An added bonus is the music you will hear, some play the same stuff over and over, but some will play music that sounds great and I had never heard of. Shazam is great for identifying new music you will hear. There will be... | |
| Simaudio 700i vs Pass 250 Integrated Friendly bump to see if anyone can offer any insights/opinions.Thanks. | |
| Trumpeteer Roy Hargrove passes at 49. Very sad, enjoying Roy Hargrove Quintet with “Tenors of our time”. Wonderful music. He will be missed. | |
| Axpona 2018 Integrated Mastersond BoX I have had the BOX, for a few months now. Love it, juicy tube sound, very punchy, great detail and depth. Pairs with the Sopra 2’s very well, so warm. Also very loud for 35 Watts, the unit can really rock or deliver delicate jazz nuanced trio musi... | |
| The 70’s are back I still have my JBL 4311b’s from 1978. They rock, the 12 inch woofer moves some air. What a great pair of speakers. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 @mardukk24, I listen to mostly vinyl now, but occasionally stream on Cocktail Audio X40, has reference Dac built in. Tidal sounds great on the X40 and you can burn CDs into it. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Seems like lots of front end variables when judging and ranking numerous speakers. My Sopra 2’s sounded great with Hegel and Mastersound. With Simaudio 700i, absolutely amazing. On my search, changes in front end (as noted above) while only using ... | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers Have had my Sopra 2’s for 18 months. No issues with reliability and I push them. Have run them with Simaudio 700i, Hegel 300 and Mastersound Box. They handle soft jazz to Heavy Dub no issue. The Sopra’s love to be pushed and they know how to flex ... | |
| Axpona 2018 Integrated Mastersond BoX Thanks for the response. I will be pairing with Focal Sopra 2. Do you have any units in stock. Is there a return period if it doesn’t pair well with my speakers? The unit sounded great at the show. Very interested in a purchase. Will call you Mond... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Moto ManI have the same Joseph speakers you have in the exact same size room you have. I had the same thoughts/concerns you have. I purchased a pair of Sopra 2's, thinking these will be better in the 10X10 room. Over much time, I have concluded th... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height Congrats, I am sure you will be very pleased, remember they do take time to break in. Be patient. Also I have run my Sopra's with a SA 600i, sounds really nice. |
