| Lumin X1 dont see many virtual audiogon systems with this? I have owned the D-2, A-1 and then upgraded to the X-1. I also own a U_1 mini. When I purchased the X-1 I sold my Emm Lab DAC and Laufer Teknik memory player. The X-1 is the best DAC under $19k period. I loved the Lumin App ( no need for Roon ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Mozart - my Grande Voix speakers are the black ones with wood tone horns on the Viking Website. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I never thought I would ever consider a horn until I went on a 1 year speaker hunt. After listening to 30-40 different speakers around the country ( Magico, YG, Vivid, Meridien, SF, Wilson, Eggleston, Stenhiem), I heard an AvantGarde Horn and lov... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Johnfritter - good luck , it will be really hard to do at the budget. $2-3k is the hotspot for number of good integrated entry level tube amps.

| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander Why not just get better speakers? For all time and labor costs, I would think it would be worth it.I asked the question about changing drivers because I have the opportunity to upgrade the four drivers. Let me just state that my Viking Acoustic G... | |
| To horn or not to horn My impression of horn speaker music....regular speakers sound like the music is coming from a box. My Viking Acoustic GV's sound like the music is coming from a concert hall. | |
| To horn or not to horn @Mozartfan ---you found my horn thread from the past and quoted me above. In my quest for speakers I listened to Maggies, Wilson Sonus Faber, Eggleston, Stenheim, Rockport, Focal, Meridien, Joseph Audio, Vivid, Vandersteen, Evolution Acoustic, Te... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander A question for MC or anyone...if you had an opportunity to replace the drivers or all of the components you worked on what would you do if money was not an object. Where do you think the biggest bang for the buck is between the drivers and the ca... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's JPAN ---you saw the dimensions of my large room that acoustically speaking is God awful. That said, I too have a wife who even hates the HFT's that I have scattered around. She thinks they look like bugs and are an eyesore. I am just curious, w... | |

| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? Cat ---I just went through that last year. I sold my house and they bought my two channel system. The good news is that I was going to get a whole new system The bad news is I bought it in the wrong order. After having a high end tube amp, I w... | |
