I would suggest the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2EX, which features a custom RAAL tweeter and proprietar... | |
| Buchardt S400 S300MKII Review @ghasley curious to know what speakers deposed the 400s in your system. | |
| Bookshelf speakers for a NAD C368 integrated amp I owned the C368 briefly. Given my experience with this integrated amp (slightly dry; cooler side of neutral), I would suggest a used pair of Sonus Faber monitors. | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting I actually disconnected the sub completely and this did not solve the problem - it is a REL T5i. | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting I checked my speaker<->amp connections last night and it turns out that they are connected correctly. I removed the Chord Qutest from my system and inserted a Schiit Yggdrasil in its place, connected to the Freya S via balanced XLR. Now the ... | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting This is the Freya S - a solid state version of the preamp (i.e. no tubes). | |

| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? Consider an Anthem MRX 510 or the MRX310. Both Excellent sounding receivers. I saw a 510 out there for $499.00 You will be blown away by the build quality and the sound. I can vouch for Anthem. I have been using an Anthem MRX 300 for the past ... | |
| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? If you and your son enjoy a 5.1 setup and you already have the speakers for it (well, apart from the currently non-functioning sub), then go ahead an pick up an AV receiver - something like the AVRX-1500 would be perfect. If you start getting mor... | |
| Schiit Freya + Aegir vs Rega Elex-R I am running 2 Aegir amps as monoblocks and they are mind-bendingly good! | |
