| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers Interesting. You and I listen to a lot of similar music. I don't go quite as heavy as Napalm Death. I need a speaker that does well with metal but for me it is Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, etc... For ... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers @gochurchgo Thanks for the direct comment back. What music are you listening too? I completely get the issue with bass response. I assume apartment means you don't want to fill in lower frequencies with a subwoofer. What kind of bass response... | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? This can be more unpredictable than you would think - I find there is less differentiation between foreign and domestic products in terms of price and quality and more between large and small companies selling at retail. Part of it is that most... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers Verdant Audio Blackthorn 1s as they deliver a great soundstage in a small space. They work really well close to a wall and deliver a very true and accurate sound. Yes, they are mine (I am manufacturer) so I am biased but have had some unbelievab... | |
| The best looking speakers FWIW...we all deal with WAF issues and it was a motivating factor in me starting my company. I make stand-mounts largely because my wife hates floor standers and it allows me to keep my own speakers in the living room. But every wife is differen... | |
| Spendor D7 Given your amp, I would stand by Scansonic as a potential. I had Raidho’s for a stretch and the key with Raidho’s and Scansonics is having that minimum of 9’ between them and a solid 3’ from the back wall. The Leben is definitely awesome with De... | |
| Spendor D7 Side firing doesn't work for a lot of people. I just know they are great speakers and are outside of the "usual suspects" of PSB, KEF, Revel, Musical Fidelity, B&W, etc... which I assume you have already heard.DeVore makes wonderful speakers.... | |
| Spendor D7 There is one other product worth listening too that I think had a great sound profile assuming you have a big enough room to handle a side firing woofer. You probably need at least a 15’wide room (20’ would be better). The Scansonic MB line. I ... | |
| Spendor D7 Thank you for asking. I don’t make a floorstander yet. I had to decide between next product being at a more approachable price point or a floorstander. I am launching to less expensive stand mounts at Capital Audiofest and will introduce floors... | |
| Spendor D7 Nope. I am not a Spendor dealer. I listened to the D7s while I was hunting for speakers before I started my company. I liked them a lot though they weren’t perfectly to my taste. In the sub $10K range, they are spectacular. I was hunting for ... | |
| Spendor D7 I listened to them driven by Naim gear and they were very laid back but because of the Naim amp, not the speaker itself. They are neutral and will reflect the sound profile of your amplifier. If it is forward and bright, the Spendors will be but... | |
| What is your favorite tube type? I agree implementation matters. However, a well designed 300B should sound different than a well designed KT88. The origin of this questions stems from a brief discussion in terms of the sound profile of 845s vs 300Bs in two well designed SETs a... | |
| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? I have the PS Audio DSD. I though I might get away with eliminating a component and I was wrong. It's preamp stage will not match the CJ. It is fine and is better than entry level preamps but won't hold up against a really good one. . | |
| Hana SH/SL of Ortofon Blac 2M for Ittok LVII tonearm? I have an Ittok LVIII mkii with a Lyra Kleos on my LP12 and it does not tend toward brightness even a little. If anything, it is neutral to a hair warm. I LOVE the C22 and the phono stage in it is brilliant. Regarding cartridges, I have hear ... | |
| Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him! I had the reverse happen. Was a buyer and received a turntable where the dust cover clearly had been dropped , the stylus was broken off a the plinth was damaged due no transport screws being inserted and the motor bounced around. Fortunately, t... |
