| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. If you have carpets, furniture moving carpet sliders make adjusting heavy speakers easy. Once you find the ideal position, replace the sliders with Iso Acoustic Gaia isolation footers and Bob's your uncle. Speaker/Furniture Carpet Sliders | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k +1 Herron Audio. | |
| World's Best Speakers For 2021 ? Audition Fyne 700 or F1 series loudspeakers. A great, relatively new line of speakers. Certainly not the world's best but excellent in their respective price ranges. | |
| Class A amplifier alternative? As always, I agree with Ralph. I can understand modern feelings about class D. Most of us have had nothing but bad experiences. About ten years ago, one of the first class D mega threads (might have been Audio Circle, not sure), was something li... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Best kept secret in high end audio. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Try and audition a Coda No 16 stereo amplifier. Prefered to Pass for those that made the comparison. Made in Sacramento. May not fit in your rack though. Unless you're dying to burn all that cash, here's an alternative. Legacy i.V2 Legacy i.V... | |
| Class A amplifier alternative? The Legacy i.V2 amp may come up for sale used or perhaps you can find a great deal on a new one. Legacy i.V2 Legacy i.V4 "The i.V Ultra amplifier has handily outdone all other amps reviewed, regardless of genre, which is unprecedented. I invite... | |
| Legacy Focus XD - will I ever upgrade? Lots of great and accurate feedback in this thread, unusual for Audiogon. For those that don't have the budget for Pass, I would recommend Coda (slightly better for less) or highly recommend Legacy's own i.V2 (really an Ultra) or the i.V4 Ultra t... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Thanks for that worthless link. The present day Julian Hirsch. | |
| Auditioning The Fyne 703 Soon I wouldn't move to Fyne if I had your speakers, what appears to be a very nice system.What I'm proposing is that anyone in the market for the upper Tannoy models should go out of their way to also audition either the Fyne F700 or F1 series speaker... | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp @bigkidz Impressive looking gear. | |
| Auditioning The Fyne 703 Soon BTW, the Fyne F703 and F1-10 are made in Scotland. The company was founded by ex-Tannoy employees.Jim's old Tannoy Canterbury speakers were made in Scotland.The new Tannoy Canterbury SE is made in China as are all current Tannoy products. | |
| Auditioning The Fyne 703 Soon Thanks for the clarification.Canterbury SE $30k (similar in sound to Jim's older modified pair) vs Fyne F703 $14k which Jim prefers and bought.Kind of looks like the F703 would be the no-brainer.But still best to use your ears. I would strongly re... | |
| PSB STRATUS GOLD / LEGACY AUDIO FOCUS I've also heard a number of current generation Legacy speakers including the Focus. What paimei is describing sounds like any speaker poorly set up. His blanket description is unlike any Legacy speaker I've heard.I have not heard the PSB Stratus G... | |
| Coda continuum 8 I moved my Coda components from a pair of Legacy speakers in one room to a pair of Fyne in another. Equally excellent with either speaker system. |
