| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? @papyneau , McIntosh MA8950 is a fine choice. Figure you have this brand already and would like to try something else. I think the Luxman is a better match for the Focal Sopra 1. Maybe you can demo in stores? If I had to choose, Luxman for sur... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? some people buy $50k speakers an its still not end game! just use your ears to judge, difference between $5k speaker and $20k is not that much of a difference. the difference in cost will be the name and material used to make it. If I am about ... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Probably hade made with well quality parts. As for the looks, I'll pass... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @bsme85 , 1000% true. I love the Freya+, best $1k spent. That matches so well with my Yamaha MX-1, I'm blown away by its warm sound with so much details in mids and vocal. I think its sounds better than my AS3200. | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? @erik_squires +1 here. Luxman is a superior made product and will probably be and end game integrated Amp. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? @willgolf , I agree 100%. No matter what you have, you'll always want to try or think there is something better. Your equipment is fine, and I do agree with @russ69 , Mac and B&W dont have good synergy. Many here have 2 or systems to listen to... | |
| Lii Audio S-10 Users @trentmemphis , I don't think many people own them. At 47"x24"×20" /120lbs those are some heavy speakers. I would like to get them and try it, better think into consideration if they are not for me to take a 70% lost and to break my back loading t... | |
| Decware integrated @ghasley , supply chain delays with Chinese parts or some Chinese parts needed. And then also productivity. Might be a 2 man band producing the equipment which will make it special. Place it now for 2024 delivery! | |
| Decware integrated @gochurchgo , dang 30 months. you pretty much will forget you even ordered. I guess to some the wait is worth it. good luck to all waiting. | |
| Need help to select a speaker I’m enjoying the ELAC VELA 403 right now. At $5K if you can spare 2K more, maybe the Wharfedale Elysian 2. Thye look stunning. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? They might not look like the $2,000 cables. But I think DIY should makes you feel good that accomplish something. Took me 2hrs and kids were watching me make them. Hardest part was tubing them. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? You can buy expensive cables, or make them. Sonically, the expensive might sound 1-2% better. You are really paying for the build and quality of the wire. I just make my own buying OFC wires and stringing them through a pvc tube. They sound great ... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 27 Amplifier, buy or not? Its amp that I would keep for life, I thought there were more ML lovers out there in this forum who knows more about it. Spending 2k is one thing for the amp, finding parts like others have stated is probably near impossible. | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget @ozzy62 , you're 100% right 600 buck system is non comparison to a 10k system. It will be nught and day. Sound is a matter of taste, when we get to expensive equipment it becomes what we like. I hv budget stuff and I would think high quality stu... | |
| Elac Vela FS 409's @krelldog , matter of taste. I have the 403 and they very good for such a small speaker. I would probably choose the Elysian 2. It just stinks there is audition site to review the speaker. I use youtube alot on judging its quiality too. |
