| Calling all Horn lovers The Volti Vittoras have been well received at audio shows and there is also a rave review by Art Dudley. What do the knowledgeable horn people here think of them? | |
| Challenge: Best $2K-ish floorstander EPOS Elan 35. Great bass all the way down to 20Hz in medium-big rooms, smooth and accurate all around. | |
| new refrence 3a mm de capo I understand what some posters say about the magic of the de Capo's direct connection to the amplifier without a crossover. I remember a similar experience with a small Epos standmount at a dealer's house many years ago. The small speaker, whose w... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? I have never owned Merlins but have followed Bobby and his speakers since the beginning and I make sure I listen to the VSM when I go to audio shows. They are always among the best sounding, and I know how difficult it is to get consistently good ... | |
| Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions? The Aeris certainly looks impressive and the TAS review by Cordesman is as high a rave as I have read. I agree that DSP as Legacy implements it is the way of the future.How is the Aeris in terms of internal construction? A big cabinet like that ha... | |
| Seeking opinions on PMC IB2 There is a Special Edition version of the IB2. Now that should be a treat! | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle As Billbartuska says, JPlay is a stand-alone player, though a minimalist one, but it also works as ASIO driver for Foobar and for this player I recently discovered, perfect for my simple, folder-based, mostly classical, music collection: AlbumPlay... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I tend to agree with Donjr (Simaudio Moon, D'Agostino, Merrill Veritas, Bully Sound, etc.), but it's difficult to shy away from tube *preamps* like the Audio Research Reference 5 SE, Purity Audio, or Herron. | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle Lewinskih01:Any modern computer with 4GB or more of memory and at least a dual-core processor is OK for JPlay, but more power and more memory are better. Windows 8 helps too because some of the latest JPlay features can only be used with it. The l... | |
| Tube amp for Nola Metro ref Gold Muzik55, please keep us informed. | |
| Best Integrated, period. According to Ken Kessler in the July 2013 Hi-Fi News, a new contender for the title is the Krell S-550i, if very high power into difficult loads *and* good sound are the criteria. It can drive Apogee Scintillas with 2400 stable watts into 1 Ohm, a... | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle I agree, JPlay is great and that 5.1 solves all problems with previous versions.Hew, try connecting the computers directly with an Ethernet crossover cable. | |
| speaker recommendations needed If you like Merlins as you said, the latest VSM Masters are the ones I would recommend. Your room has good dimensions and Merlins like being way out into the room. Any recent VSM is better than B&W 804s. | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? I am on the opposite camp. In my many years of audio I have always used subwoofers with small and large speakers, but I only like augmenting, speaker-level-connection subwoofers such as REL and MJ Acoustics. When well blended to come "from underne... | |
| Vivid Audio Giya G1 1. Last speaker? Yes.2. Bass? It's all in the implementation.3. Drivers? They are protected by mesh covers.I agree that you should also check the Raidhos. |
