| Jazz for aficionados Sidney Bechet switched over quite frequently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN2EurONieA&list=RDtN2EurONieA&start_radio=1&t=39 I was trying to find him doing Petite Fleur. | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Don't rule out either the L-507uXII. Another top contender would be the Aesthetix Mimas, which would again tame the B&Ws. | |
| Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner 100W is fine for all three. | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Search previous threads for comments on S801 here.https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?query=S801&sort=date | |
| New speakers for turntable ($500 range) A remarkable deal here:https://www.musicdirect.com/speakers/wharfedale-denton-80th-anniversary-bookshelf-speakers-pr but as others have said, you won't hear anything like their potential with that "amp". | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations Very interesting finding.Although the SHL5+ is a little below average at 86db sensitivity, its impedance curve is quite forgiving, and really more an 8ohm than 6ohm speaker.https://www.stereophile.com/content/harbeth-super-hl5plus-loudspeaker-meas... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Bring back the Bright Star Little Rock!! | |
| Why hasn’t B&W ever entered the ultra hi-end for speakers? Back when B&W was actually Bowers and Wilkins, it was a company to be taken seriously. The first decent speakers that I owned for a while were DM1800's.These days it's changed hands so many times and chased so many bandwagons, that it only re... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Where did you get the idea that Luxman is bright? Current B&W are a little in your face, so something like Luxman to temper them a little would be ideal. L-507uXII or ideally L-509X. | |
| DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience Many issued recordings are flawed in some way or other. Perhaps most are. If you are a certain kind of purist who wants to hear exactly what the recording as issued is presenting, then by all means get the most "accurate" components possible, wh... | |
| Upgrading Hegel H160 Largely to cause the kind of questions that you're asking here. If a model isn't mature, then a manufacturer shouldn't bring it to market. And if it is mature, it should stand the test of time for at least several years. | |
| Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner Oranges vs. apples vs. bananas. These models aren't often grouped together in this way. They will serve well in different situations and for different tastes. But only you can decide.Much information is lacking in your post (rest of system, siz... | |
| best-sounding class D amp? Has Jeff Roland become irrelevant?How about the PS Audio Stellar M1200 monoblocks with tube inputs? | |
| 2way vs 3way speakers: different or is one "better" Are the Harbeth SHL5+ and Spendor Classic 1/2 bookshelf speakers?They’re certainly stand-mounted.What about the Graham Audio BBC LS 5/8? Two-way with a 12" mid/woofer.There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. (Apologies to feline lovers.) | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Most of the time, amplifiers are only using a fraction of the output that they're rated for. Take the case of amps richly biased into class A: often they never leave A to slide into AB. Up to a point, some increased headroom is good--think V8 ov... |
