| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 At the end of the day, the most repeated advice is also the best: only your ears will tell you. You can try and reduce your list of possible candidates based on reviews or forum posts, but you might be knocking your ideal speaker off your list in... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @gnaudio I’ve had several amps over the years plugged in the same room in the same AC receptable. A 300B stereo power amp didn’t hum. My current solid-state monoblocks don’t hum. But a popular US-based, US-manufactured, relatively inexpensive, tub... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 Going back to your question of a while ago, I believe Fritz, Watkins, Silverline (all of which would be great) and a number of others.You have to wonder what % of the retail cost of a pair of B&W or Focal speakers goes towards their massive ad... | |
