| Active Speaker Choice Check out System Audio. Scandinavian company that make glorious sound song speakers that aren’t crazy expensive. I am putting together an opening order in the next month as I think I want to start working with them. Nice finishes and plenty of ... | |
| What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power Vandersteens are awesome but they need some power to be at their best. The fact those 5as have a powered bass module, means the absolute power required is no where near as high as it could be. You have a few options. The room is large but not cra... | |
| My journey to find a speaker + amp + setup for classical music (piano) I think for piano specifically and classical in general, Vivid is insanely good. I just spent time listening to a pair of Oval B1 Decades at a customers home driven by MSB Reference DAC and they have an MSB power amp. First track he played after... | |
| Need thoughts on how to Best Max SQ when Streaming? Power cables should match the conditioner if you can, especially if they are Audioquest. That would be my only advice. | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K Scansonic is Raidho’s low end. I have owned Raidho’s personally. They are great speakers and that sound is why I suggested Scansonic. I think “wildly” overpriced is a bit extreme but they are not inexpensive. I think their monitors are their b... | |

| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K This is tough because each speaker behaves differently in different spaces. It is tough to say you can get one universal speaker that works everywhere. But, what I can offer is two suggestions if your room is generally larger (> than 15' x 20... | |
| Need thoughts on how to Best Max SQ when Streaming? With power conditioning, there are a million options. The best one I am familiar with in this price range is the inakustic at $3K. Incredible filtering and one of the better units, regardless of price. The issue is that the power cord they reco... | |
| Compact amplifier/CD player w/o speakers You could check out the Naim Uniti Star. It is an all-in-one with a CD player. Not inexpensive at $4990 but a superb unit and will match wonderfully with those Vienna Acoustics speakers. I literally placed an order for one this morning for a c... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Rega is warmer and sweeter sounding. They are all about PRaT. | |
| what amp are you using with wilson benesch speakers The distributor here in the US runs them with Ypsilon gear. Probably not appropriate from a budget perspective but informative in terms of sound.they are not particularly bright but also not warm. A neutral to slightly forward or slightly laid b... | |
| High End Bookshelf Speakers Class A Monos may not be essential. Certainly stepping up to a more powerful amp from pass would be a good option.There are other manufacturers that produce warmer Class AB or even hybrid Class D. You could also consider McIntosh, Naim, AVM or o... | |
| High End Bookshelf Speakers Not enough power in a relatively big room. The 805 D3s are the better option by far considering the amplification but I would look for a more efficient speaker or eventually seek out a more powerful amp. | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? For more than 15 years my speakers were Infinity Kappa 8.1s which are phenomenal towers. I struggled at first and tried a few different smaller speakers before I developed the ones I use now. They move a ton of air and are rather extraordinary. ... | |
| Speakers for a NAD C352 Integraded amp Revel Concerta2 M16 would be a nice option. |
