| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Personal taste but IMO the ARC Ref 10 is the best of the three. I would consider a CJ GAT, Ayre KX-R Twenty or Soulution 725 over the VTL or the Spectral. I think the Arc Ref 10 is best of all of these though. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes @twoleftears - You would want to use Orea Pucks most likely instead of Gaias as the Gaias get screwed into the speaker or footing hardware. Check out my Olneya stands as this will provide a simple visual: https://verdantaudio.com/collections/verda... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? I have had 5:- Technics Auto Turntable - don't remember model. It was automatic and cheap. Sound character was crap with crap filling (sold years ago)- Rega P3-24 with RB301 tonearm & Elys 2 - Sound is signature Rega, all about PRaT with som... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes I am working on a subwoofer and machining feet was going to cost as much or more than just buying the Gaia IIIs and including them. I have tried no feet and feet, not an alternative but they make a huge difference. As a result, I ship Orea pucks... | |
| Are these damned brands or not good speakers? As someone who makes boutique speakers and am 4 months into my companies existence (we launched at AXPONA), risk of the company going out of business is what makes people anxious. Which I get, but it is lower risk than you think. It costs me abo... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers jetter, there you go. My preference is a slightly forward sound profile which is what MF delivers. I don’t see Parasound getting a bad rap. Dealers I know that carry it have been complimentary if that is the price point you are at. The JC3+ is... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation 300Bs and other lower powered tubes vs. 805s - 845s - 211s - T100s have pretty significantly different sound profile. The 300B, 2A3, PX25 has this lush midrange that borders on addictive. It is amazingly musical and is what most people think of ... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers For the OP - I strongly recommend you check out VTL amps. They pair very well with Wilson. The MB-185 MK3 will deliver plenty of power and will sound awesome. A tinge warm, very Musical. Just wonderful amps. I have the original MB-185s. VTL i... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker Not sure if these are small enough but the Kaiser Kawero line - I have listened to the Classic and the Chiara when I was demoing Magico and Scansonic. I remember the price on the floorstander being $70K so I think it had to be the Classic I heard... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation This is a tough one. With an SPL of 88dB a 300B is going to be a problem. You will get 8 to 13w out of most 300B SETs. Let's assume 10w, you will be getting 94.3dB of volume at 10' from the speaker at full power. That is not a lot of headroom.... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @elliottbnewcombjr You are right!!!! Can't believe I used that word in a post. | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Retail is a problem though my experience is less that they are inept and more that they are jerks. One guy guy told me my music sucked which is why it didn’t sound good on the speakers I was demoing. Another expounded for 45 minutes on why speake... | |
| How Do You Deal With Baffle Edge Diffraction? Part of it is the tweeter. It is brighter or the crossover has to be tuned a hair brighter because of how it interacts with the cabinet. Felt is a nice solution. Try adhering with something temporary first to see if it helps. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @jeffseight I have a cabinet maker who is working on a cabinet for those those magnesium SEAS drivers and millennium tweeter. | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... As a kid, one of my fondest memories was riding my bike to the local K-Mart and studying the cassette section. I couldn't afford a CD player. I would spend an hour to pick out what I wanted that week and can remember the unmitigated joy of findi... |
