| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. kjl1065 Volti Luceras at $12,900 are great speakers, and no they are not grainy at all.....they are brilliant. That is $4,500 less than your budget, and would leave some room for you to pick up a tube amp if you choose as well. The Volti Rivals a... | |
| Battle of the affordables andy2 Nothing personal and I'm trying to be helpful, but my vote is for none of the speakers you listed; they are all massed produced common speakers. Listen to some of the suggestions here, and do some more homework; there are so many great spea... | |
| If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be? Finally finish my dedicated audio room, it's been 8 months of expense and changes and reimagining......hopefully by December, if my wife doesn't run out of patience first | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables AntiCables uses solid core, even the 4.2 Flex cables are 9 individual solid core cables.....and are great value. Paul uses the Flex cables in most of the rooms he provides cables at trade shows. If you're open to DIY, then that opens up a whole o... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Anything autotuned | |
| What does your DAC sound like dvdgreco For around $5,000 I'd look hard at the new Denafrips Terminator 15th R2R ladder DAC. Denafrips DACs all lean more to the sound signature that you are seeking, and are just plain brilliant IMO. I own the Pontus and have helped a bunch fri... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? onehorsepony I too think you're being too hard on the Thiels, especially the 3.7. It's picky, needs proper equipment pairing, and the listening area is not generous......but when you get it right, they're glorious......but I understand, they can ... | |
| New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty I do not want to be mean, but the Rogue preamps are EASILY outclassed by any number of preamps, and I tested the RP-9. The best I've tested in order are (and I've spent hundreds of hours in comparisons): Aric Audio Motherlode XL, Don Sachs/Lynn O... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. Amazing service and communication: Aric Audio, CODA, Buchardt Audio, Joseph Audio, Volti, Pure Audio Project, Denafrips (even after Vinshine), DH Labs, RAMM Audio, VH Audio, Synergistic Research/Scott Walker, First Watt, Don Sachs & Lynn Olson... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? onehorsepony $20,000 is a great budget for sure, so here are some excellent all around speakers that work really well in most environments and are not too finicky. Some are open baffle, some are flat panels, some are horns, some traditional box s... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? inna Of course I listen to opinions here, otherwise I would not waste my time. (1) I have found a bunch of equipment from companies I was not familiar with, that I may not have know about otherwise, and then it is up to me to do my research and ... | |
| reliable DDC Magon I've owned Denafrips amps, preamps, DACs, and DDCs for over 3 years and have never had a single problem. I've also set up several systems for friends with Denafrips DACs and DDCs, and absolutely no reliability issues. My experiences with t... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound saummisra I'll second the suggestions for Volti and Pure Audio Project. I would strongly consider the Volti Rival (100db sensitive so extremely easy to drive) and any of the Pure Audio Project Trio or Quintet lines (96db and also easy to drive). ... | |

Cost no Object. calvinj Under $1,000 - Denafrips Ares 15th Under $2,000 - Denafrips Pontus 15th Under $5,000 - T+A DAC 200 ($5,000 used), Weiss DAC 204 $3,500, Denafrips Terminator 15th (Actually $5,300) Over $5,000 - T+A DAC 200 $7,500, Weiss DAC 501 $12,000... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? audiostick This seems to be the great conversation over the last month or two or six, I've posted (as have several others like SNS) at least a dozen times on this subject. I've gone into very detailed discussions, so I'll not redo that here again... |
