| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Killingforcompany, I'd suggest you find a JBL dealer, bring your music, and try them for yourself, my guess is that they would have several models available and there are several hundred JBL dealers out there | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice That's true, that's another $300......though I usually assume the stands are not included for any speaker | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade Look for a used Aurender N200 (can be found for about $4,500 or so) or a used Innuous Zen MKIII (around $2,300) or a Zenith MKIII (around $4,500)......those would be nice upgrades IMO | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice +!! on the JBL 100s, great all around speaker and definitely a rock speaker....check around on price though, Music Direct and Sound & Vision have them for $3,300 per pair | |
| Floor to Bookshelf Philharmonic BMR ($2,000 new 2 week trial), Fritz Carbon 7s used), or Buchardt Audio S400 MKIIs ($2,400 new 45 day trial).....these are what I own, all are great speakers | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Hilde45, Sorry I've only hear the classic series (Arden, Eaton, Cheviot) and the GR series (GRF, Kensington, Turnberry, Stirling); but that was at Upscale Audio in the L.A. area (east of L.A.).....I just happened to be there for business, and set... | |
| Building a dedicated listening room OP, In a similar situation as you are, building a dedicated listening room....unfortunately mine will be on a tight budget. Some suggestions, many of which you've already considered. (1) Power is crucial, you are already know this.....I would re... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? hilde45, I have heard several Tannoy and Fyne speakers, and I think they would be well worth your time seeking out an audition......all 91 93 db. To me the Fyne F1.8 was magical, but it's a bookshelf and not sure that would fit your bill. Dependi... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 I sent an email to Aurender earlier this year, when I was auditioning different units I had borrowed (N150 and N10); and wanted an opinion versus the N200......I too have a Denafrips Pontus II. Their general guidance was that the N150 would not be... | |

| Help choosing a DAC OP, The Pontus II is a very musical, involving, and just plain fun DAC that makes you want to listen to music. It is NOT the end game in detail, but it is so enjoyable to listen to. I will say that adding a Denarips Iris DDC before the Pontus II... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? OP, for many reasons stated above: easier to move around, easier to store when not in use, less expensive, easier to place as they are usually "two way" speakers, seem to pair well with subwoofers. I'd also add they are better at imaging and soun... |
