New speaker suggestion Of all the above suggestions, Legacy Focus HD speakers offer the best value as well as being a great match with your Pass amps (even better with Coda). Made in the US with outstanding cabinet/veneer construction. | |
When A Lightening Strike Blows Your Power Company’s Transformer Off Its Utility Pole ……… The Environmental Potentials EP-2050 does more than a standard whole house surge protector. In addition to surge protection it provides waveform correction and conditioning. My unit has been operating perfectly for over fifteen years.I brought it ... | |
Question for those with Tannoy experience Try and audition a Fyne Audio model in your price range. The company was founded by ex-Tannoy folks. A friend of mine replaced Tannoy Canterbury speakers with the much less costly Fyne F703 speakers. | |
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Coda CSi Balanced. Try and compare to the Pass integrated amps. You may be pleasantly surprised. | |
Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? +2 on the ATC SCM40v2 (a used pair would fall into the OPs price range). They clearly beat Spatials (can't remember which model) and Salk Soundbeat 3s in a direct comparison. | |
preamp for manley +2 Jumbo Shrimp.I've also used a Coda 07x with the Snappers. More expensive but worth it. | |
Tannoy Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition or ProAc D 30 R o RS Fyne Audio is a new speaker company founded by ex-Tannoy engineers. I know one individual who prefers and purchased the F703 to replace his Tannoy Canterbury speakers. The F! series should be even better. | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Yes they are being offered with the full factory warranty. | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Both the larger Legacy and ATC speakers can do structural damage. Certainly blow out your eardrums before they are even close to distorting. I'm an old rocker so nothing else will do in my home. | |
what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. +2 on the Graham 2.2 which I still own and use. I also own and like SME and Rega arms.I used to own a Morch DP-6 on a Verdier turntable and found that to also be a good arm for the money. | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers BTW, I used these Focus XD speakers in bi-amp mode using the Wavelet active EQ and room correction with either Coda (SS) or Manley (tube) amplification for the mids and highs.With that said, they sound remarkably good full range with the internal ... | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Thank you. They turned out to be a little too large for my room. I also have an active pair of ATC SCM100ASLT speakers ($38k) which are perfect for that room. With the Wavelet and room correction engaged, the Focus XDs are superior in some ways. F... | |

Looking for a klipsch heritage headphone amp I agree, love my HP-3 headphones. | |
what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I also have and use a Graham 2.2 tonearm and agree with everything MC says. An excellent value if you can find one on the used market. |
