| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K At your price point new you're looking at Daedalus Athena or Muse. The owner Lou won't steer you wrong. There's also a used Argos mk2 for sale right now that is very tempting. | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? Yes, Daedalus is one of the obvious recommendations. Also take a look at Chapman Audio. | |
| Power Cord suggestion please Here we go again...Cullen or Audio Sensibility. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jim204 I listened to disc 2 last night and liked it even more than 1. I found the playing meditative--perhaps matching my mood. I also think the recorded piano sound is superlative, at least I was really liking what I heard on my system.Also, d... | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Mike you should definitely talk to @audiotroy about an Isotek EVO3 Sigmas + Synchro combo. | |
| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? I heard the SHL5's in a brick-walled room driven by high-end Naim components, and I was surprised to find that they sounded a bit bright to me. This would be in line with audiothesis's comments. The 5's certainly will go down lower than the 30.2... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 I think you need to have a long talk with Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection in New Jersey. Give him a call. | |
| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? Add Backert to your list. | |

| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I listened to the LaScala's at CAF. On the day in that room their spectral balance seemed a little tipped up to me, and overall they didn't sound quite as warm as I, personally, like in a sonic presentation. I gather there are a number of profes... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I was perplexed by the Odyssey Kismet Liquid's. At the end of day 2, I thought they were sounding very promising indeed. I couldn't find anything really to criticize. On the morning of day 3 I returned, hoping to confirm my previous impression ... | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... If burn-in by manufacturers works, then the positive effects must last several days to allow for shipping.I don't think you need to worry about minutes or hours or even a couple of days.Once any cable is physically moved, it needs a little time to... | |
| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? Have you listened to them?Looking at specs (size of cabinet, bass extension), I think you'll see partially why. The 30.2 is their top-of-the-line true monitor. But all I know is that at CAF, driven by a large Rogers tube integrated, they could r... | |
| Speakers positionning Moral of the story: individual speakers vary a great deal, rooms vary a great deal, interactions between the two vary a great. So, it's best to keep an open mind and experiment as much as possible, even with "unconventional" configurations. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report They were running on an 8-watt 300B amp from Modwright. Just like my Proac Response 2.5's used to run on an 11-watt 300B amp from Cary. The bass was really there, from what I heard this morning. If you don't mind giving up those last couple of ... |
