| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. You can go class D or you can just reduce the amount of power. Think of it this way. Class A is 25% efficient. So you pass is delivering 30w x2 so that means 90w x 2 is just burning off as hear. You need 1 very good watt to drive those speak... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC I assume this means you are using a Nucleus into the old USB Stream device from PBD and are going into a PBD, Nagra or BAT DAC. I am very familiar with that converter. If that is the case, you may get some modest benefit from upgrading from the ... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? You experience with that DAC is not that unusual. Wonderful unit but soft bass is a critique I have heard from more than one customer. I would look at new or used Bricasti M3. It is a very common upgrade for folks moving from PS Audio DACs. Yo... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system I know the Rockna Waelight is going to have a bluetooth based volume control you can run off your phone. I am not sure if it integrates within Roon but it may. I am one of the Rockna dealers in the US. I have wavedreams open right now but not t... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I hear amazing things about the TADs. I doubt you would go wrong. I would be cautious in a small room with Borreson. His speakers are notoriously difficult to place and don't always work well in smaller spaces. I have had issues personally wit... | |
| Small speaker advice Your in a smaller room so having something that will work nearer the wall, etc... could be nice. I am biased (as a dealer for them) but the P1.0 monitor is quite nice from Wilson-Benesch. It is bottom ported near the stand rather than rear porte... | |
| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to Start with the speakers that are right for your room. That is a good space. You just need a speaker that doesn't need immense distance from the back wall. I would also look for something with a better impedance than those Vienna Acoustics. Tha... | |

| Moon 340i and Speakers Harbeth is a very good option. I have had a bunch in on trade from them and have generally liked them . They are incredibly popular and if you don’t get traction in this thread asking about them, start a thread asking about them and dozens will... | |
| New speakers for a new start? Couple thoughts Given that you are building from scratch, I agree vehemently in starting with speakers first. Speakers are frequently the worst component in terms of resale and visually the most prominent combined with being heavy, easily dama... | |
| Moon 340i and Speakers Like everyone else has said, those tweeters are likely the issue. I know exactly what you are describing and I didn't buy them for that very reason when I was demoing them. There are a lot of good options out there that will work very well wit... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted I am not familiar with your amp and maybe this is tossing an unnecessary hang grenade into the debate for you but there are other, somewhat esoteric tubes that are in the middle and may work for you. Have you looked at something like the Emissi... | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps I have heard those speakers a few times with Ayre Reference gear, D'Agastino gear and darTZeel or however their pattern of letters is supposed to be. For years I was "chasing the dragon" after hearing those with the Ayre gear as it is one of th... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Deville amp recommendations? I have them in on trade and found them great with my Canor Virtus Integrated and Unison Research Sinfonia integrated. Basically, lower wattage tube gear is awesome with them. I have also used Canor, Allnic and Art Audio monos with highest power ... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference You might consider the WiiM Pro a bottleneck. It is a great value at $150 but I am just guessing it may not be up to the task of giving all the information required to get everything out of the Bartok Apex. The WiiM is a great value and sounds g... |
