| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @dz13 I gladly accept the problems of planar magnetic speakers because the benefits are fabulous. Is there a cure for phobia of box speakers? 🤔...haven’t heard it yet! But I’m definitely open to open baffle speakers. | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @gano How many speaker recommendations have there been? ...well over 100? I'm glad that Twangy is getting all these suggestions!!! I have a few questions of my own that I'd like to have answered!!! 😵💫 Anyway this thread has been interesting! | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget I can’t keep track ot the many speaker suggestions and amp suggestions that you’ve received, and your reactions to these suggestions. But I think you mentioned that Proac speakers were interesting to you. And I assume Chicago is your nearest city.... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 So what you are saying is that you struggle with indecision! Well crap!!! I’m the king of indecision. There were three sisters. I met them one at a time, and first was Debbie. She was the most beautiful girl in the world, without a ... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget I feel sorry for @twangy57 because he could never make sense of the hundreds of speaker/amp recommendations that he's been given! 😵💫 I hope Twangy can get to a store and experience something that sounds just right for him. That's the worst pa... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 It's hard to say how long Maggies last. I've never experienced a failure. But there are used Maggies on ebay that are more than twenty years old. Just don't drive them too loud. I'd say you can safely drive them to 90db. I think if y... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 I'm curious. Did you think about Magnepan? I know they're not for everyone, but I can see them being great for most of your music genres. Personally, I'm done with box speakers. Planar magnetic speakers are very transparent, detailed, ... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 I feel the same way. Karen's voice affects me in profound ways. She makes me melt like I'm falling in love! | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 If a system can't do justice to Karen Carpenter's voice, it's worthless! 😊 | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @mitch2 Thank you for your great response! After dinner i will research your whole list. Eventually I might learn more about DACs and streamers, but I’m just beginning. Last night I did some preliminary searches and made a haphazard list. I will... | |
| Shakti Stone @texasblues1959 Alright, let's go for it. Wanna play? I'm your huckleberry! | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I would like recommendations for a good DAC and streamer. For someone whose components are around $20k, and speakers are around $50k, what would you recommend for a DAC and streamer (separates or combo)? I like to keep the “diminishing return”... | |
| Shakti Stone Why say anything @texasblues1959 | |
| Shakti Stone I will return to this thread in the future if I need to identify the fools. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? After reading about the $300 fuse, mega-buck power cords that defy physics, and watching the video about Mike's audio barn, I recommend that obsessive audiophiles should have a long time-out and appreciate the benefits of silence. Perhaps a with... |
