| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) @ahendler , that is a fair and excellent question. Perception is a very idiosyncratic matter. Las week I got a recommendation for some speakers (I will not mention the brand model). Please note that the recommendation came from a fellow audiophile... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Oran, I will check the ATCs ... regarding their active designs, do you have any opinion? Cheers | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Thank you all! I live in Portugal and brands like Joseph, DeVore or Decware are not available around.Regarding the GoldenEar Reference, it happens that I own the Triton One and I do respect the brand a lot. But the fact is that, as I've improved t... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Thanks yogyboy ... Unfortunately I have no chance of auditioning the harbeths as they're not available where I live. They look old school ... But they may very well sound otherwise :) | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Thanks for the reply. I’m pursuing a different sound philosophy, though … There good things (from my perspective) in the best examples of the modern speakers: speed, transparency, tonal accuracy, dynamics (both micro and macro). I find the Magico ... | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.8: how does it compare to the power section on the Int-60? Any insight?thanks! | |
| Exogal Comet Dac Plus | AES/EBU Cable recommendations? Sure! I forgot to mention that I'm not using the stock power cord ... I'm using one cable from German Physiks that as always provided me with good results. But I may play around with that a little bit as well ... thanks! | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 You're very welcome, Vermeer. As I understand it, Reno Hi-Fi is good about letting people audition Pass gear. Maybe give them a call? Thanks, lynott ... the thing is that I live in Lisbon, Portugal ;) | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 All the amps you mentioned (with the exception of the Hegel, which I haven't heard) is world-class, IMO. I've been particularly impressed with the upper-end Luxman gear, but the Pass 30.8 (with the right speaker load, which you have) is top-notc... | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 Al,I got feedback from Goldenear and I have nothing to fear from using a balanced amplifier. Actually they use Pass Labs amplifiers to demo the speakers very often (as was the case on the CES 2016 edition)cheers,João | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 Thanks, Al. Thats a relevant point and I will contact Goldenear to have a better insight into this situation. Nevetheless, I'm running them with a Mark Levinson (balanced design) and also listened to them with Gryphon (balanced as well). In either... | |
| Hegel HD30 vs Exogal Comet Plus Thanks! I know the review at Soundstage and it's a very impressive one. In the Soulution 711 review (http://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/583-soulution-711-stereo-amplifier) Jeff Fritz raves the Comet, which he used directly wit... | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 btw, skoczylas, have you auditioned the Luxman? In which way is it below the level of Pass and Hegel? | |
| Pass XA30.8 vs Luxman m600-a vs Hegel H20 Thanks a lot :) Speakers are the Goldenear Triton One. At 92 dB and with the active bass section they are not a difficult load (the room is not big as well). The Hegel would be my choice taking into account:1) Price (the least expensive, at least ... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Nick,About two years ago I built a sandbox. The result was not encouraging. The sound got dry and constricted. The material underneath the box did not seem to affect this behaviour. Of course the result is system dependent, but, in my case, I gave... |
