| Trying to get Sound Stage with Klipsch Tower Speakers It's not you, it's them. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Your ears aren't deceiving you. In their last two or three generations/iterations, Dynaudio has gone the way of all too many speaker manufacturers, creating exactly the kind of tilted up sound that impresses in the showroom and wears on the liste... | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? This doesn't sound like a great combination. Did the dealer sell you the Kimber? Or is it left over from a previous iteration of your system? What are you trying to achieve? I would expect that triple combo to be on the forward/tilted up side ... | |
| Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed If you like one-dimensional soundstages.... | |
| And a happy Festivus to all! Use Helmholtz resonators as Christmas tree decorations. Two birds with one stone. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? OK, so the upshot of all this is a balanced approach. It's counterproductive to split your funds, say, 20/80, favoring either component. Evidently, both can have a major impact on sound. Pre-amps can often cost a little less than power amps, pa... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Zelenka, Trio Sonatas, on ECM. | |
| DAC's Made in the USA Can't understand why there isn't more love for Audio Mirror in this thread, as there is plenty in most DAC threads. | |
| DCM speakers for my Yamaha receiver... help me decide! @thethrash Guess what? The TimeFrame's are listed at 92 dB sensitivity. Grab them. Years ago I had a chance to get the 1000 model, and when I went back to buy them, they were already gone. But even if the TF's were 88dB, you'd be fine. | |
| High end Class D amps? @bluorion I recommend you google a few basics on Class D amps. First of all, the D does not stand for digital; A, B, and C, were all already taken, so it was simply the next letter in the alphabet. A class D amplification circuit has a differen... | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers Audio Connection has a pair of Vandersteen Quatro cloth-covered for just under 5K. | |
| Do speaker wires matter Those were very nice and highly regarded speakers back in the day. I remember a time I was looking seriously at M3's. Your amp, as the other reasonable people on this thread have already told you, is seriously underpowered. If the M1's are real... | |
| New Rouge Dragon amplifier Review in most recent Absolute Sound. Apparently the tubes are in the output stage (?) not the input. | |
| DAC's Made in the USA Once you have a shortlist, search the forum for feedback on the models you're interested in. There have been quite a few detailed DAC threads of late. | |
| Audio envy - dang! It's certainly true that on this forum from time to time a certain make or model rather rapidly develops a full head of steam and "takes off" in a more or less spectacular way. I won't mention the most obvious example, as that name doesn't need r... |
