| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? Luxman in the blink of an eye. | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble Erik: it's not just the dealers. Perhaps it's not even primarily the dealers. It's the makers. A healthy percentage of new speakers today are voiced hotter/brighter than many of yesteryear. The Thiels were always that way, so it's not exclusiv... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Mahler 9: on the shelf I have Walter, Barbirolli, Klemperer, Karajan, Bernstein, Zander, and Fischer. Where would KK lie; what does he bring to the table? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Claus Peter Flor did a wonderful set of the Mendelssohn with the Bambergers.https://www.amazon.com/Mendelssohn-Symphonies-Overtures-Concertos-Felix/dp/B0009A1AJG Six discs for $30. | |
| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? Just think how some 30.2's would sound with those Luxmans!! Mmmm. | |
| I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase Fritz Carrera and you're done.Search this site for those names, and you'll find consistently glowing reviews. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Resumed piano concerto survey.Here's a delightful couple that are clearly underrated.Lyapunov 1 and 2. Fine pianism from Shorena Tsintsabadze and good sound on Naxos CD. Thoroughly enjoyable. | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? A little bit of a budget-buster, but so much better than the budget brands--treat yourself to a pair of Belles Aria monoblocks. | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer Correct me if I'm wrong, but piercing the carpet is only good if there is something good-and-solid underneath it. If the carpet resides on a suspended floor, then coupling the speaker to the subfloor only creates more problems. Enter Herbies gli... | |
| Salk speaker sound I don't know why he went to that small, magnesium mid-range on the Encores, when the larger Audio Technology works so well on the 3-BeAT. Encouraging to know that the AT could be used in the Encores. It's also the same midrange driver he uses in... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 See this lengthy review and the size of the room.https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/harbeth-monitor-40-2.25222/ Also, I heard the 40.2's in a regular-sized hotel room at Capital AudioFest, and they sounded very good. I went back 3 times. Sur... | |
| Daedolous Muse V2 I've listened to a bunch of those speakers. Which Spendors? The new Classic 100 is very good, but probably beyond the price point you're looking at. To my ears, Harbeth 30.2 and 40.2 are voiced differently, and more forgivingly, compared to the... | |
| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? Yes, I auditioned some D30R's at a store last year, and after only about 15 seconds I went running to get the owner, as I thought there was something seriously wrong/malfunctioning with their amplification. It sounded peaky, tizzy and hashy. I g... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Where's @grannyring when you need him?? | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport There are actually more transports out there than you might think--they don't receive an enormous amount of promotion, because of the trend toward streaming, but they are available. A number at different price points have been discussed in a coup... |
