| Bose buys McIntosh I’m betting pre-Bose acquisition McIntosh products will hold up well on the resale market. It’s a known entity with associated quality & sound. Private equity groups do this all the time. Pay big $$, over leverage, and then sell for bigger $$... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… I prefer Graham LS 5/5 to Harbeth. To me a bit more spatial. I wanted the BBC Sound to work, but in end realized you really need a floor standing speaker for bass. I ended up going with Von Schweikert Endeavour. Love them! I saw a preowned paid... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I usually speak of how my understanding of audio equipment changed over the years and how certain little changes MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. Simple no cost changes like moving speakers away from walls or using furniture to limit first reflection will ... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Mclinnguy is right Etheregen is great. Audio became a little quieter. It immediately improved detail in LED TV picture too. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Guess I should have asked about room size before connecting on the footprint of stand mounts. Good point Avanti! To imattews - I use B&W 804D3 in another room and tried to go the bookshelf route with Graham & Harbeth. I’m 64 y/o and d... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway! My small room is about ... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference I’m setting up my high end system this weekend and trying to get it to work w the furniture (ugh) in the room. I know not context of your string but your room looks so cool, that I thought I’d ask. Q what is distance between your Focal speaker... | |
| Solo streamer The important part of this exercise is that you can now upgrade either DAC or streamer as needed when tech changes. I just dumped good $$$ on speakers that will allow me to upgrade from an $8k McIntosh integrated (that I enjoy) when I feel the sou... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? I just got my Von schweikert Endeavour. While only 85 lbs each (slightly less than a ton) they are difficult to move because of their shape. Just hard to grasp. I like the Masonite idea as I can leave custom footers in place and still adjust place... | |
| why expensive streamers May for a question for ghdprentice as he seems to have had a good number of streamers. Q. What price streamer is appropriate for my system? McIntosh MA8900, Luxman SACD, NAIM Uniti Core CD ripper/streamer & Von Schweikert Ref Ed floor stan... | |
| Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate? XLR Output from Luxman into Mac. I'm guessing I need to critically listen to Mac DA2 and then Luxman, etc... AND PER OVERTHEMOON... GO STARS! ;) | |
| Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate? Thank you for providing some clarity. I can see I need to critically listen with the options I have before adding another component. Q - if I were to look at a separate DAC, should I stay within a price range so as not to overbuy for my system? ... | |
| Back to the DAC I’ll take some time tomorrow to figure out how to do that (post new thread). Thx for the encouragement. I’m looking for an answer that’s not another persons favorite component. I cant fault responders except say it doesn’t always appear to be pert... | |
| Back to the DAC I’m a real nubie regarding the nuances of separates vs integrated units. I have McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp with DA2 upgrade, a Naim Uniti Core CD ripper streamer, and Luxman D 07X SACD player, along with Von Schweikert Endeavour speakers. All ... | |
| Borresen and Von Schweikert Nyaudio - are all yours post as unhelpful as the one above? Idiot. |
