| Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard Disappointing reply by NAD. I have read similar issues, if rare, so i guess they dont read forums. DON’T buy secondhand NAD no matter how old | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ Swiss taxes and trump duty.. Shd v sound good tho, drivers are excellent. That doped rev midwoofer is the best 5.25" on market imo. tweeter I think is from SB. But just not sure I believe the specs ie 89 db.. | |
| sealed 3-ways Not sure the comparison between TL, sealed and aperiodic is correct. One big advantage of a sealed enclosure is that the woofer is controlled at all bass frequencies. With a ported box this is not the case below box tuning. Also room gain can work... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Bump start this thread as I have just come across itMy take on 2.5 ways is that the benefits are only if using roughly 5.5" driver size. Plus points- covering 400hz and below is covered by the surface area of 2 drivers. So baritone vocal range can... | |
| Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard Done. Also see this thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/nad-m3-non-repairable | |
| Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard I'd be fuming as much as the amp.Will mention this on their IG or FB page. | |
| Schiit Freya S or Freya +? Keep reading the Freya + runs hot to the point that part of the casing cannot be touched. Is this normal ?I do want to buy one when funds allow | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s ProAc? | |
| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? Lux M 700 ? Altho you might need to raise budget a little Ive seen these for sale s/h at good prices. They are awesome ( will look nice w the Freya + too) | |
| Vimberg Speakers Agree with you Steph. Only heard these once, wd like.to hear again in another system. I have the same midrange drivers as the Mino in a set of speakers at home and can only say they def need a warm side of neutral set up. Currently use a tube pre... | |
| Need advice ProAc DB1 perhaps? A few stores are inc the stands in priceEdit -out of budget 2k | |
| Vimberg Speakers If you have that kind of coin to spend, also demo a pair of Falcon Reference.They don't look as photogenic as the Vimbergs but in the 'flesh' they have real room presence, stunning speakers for sound and looks. Probably easier to system match too | |
| Vimberg Speakers I listened to a pair of Vimberg Mino recently and didnt feel the room or components were doing the speakers any favours.. my take away is that they def need careful system matching ie warm amplification. | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? I wish people wd stop slating JJ tubes based on forum stuff from 10 yrs ago. I use JJ KT88 in a SET and 5751 in a pre w no problems.The SET has been totally abused by the wife, switching off then on, unplugging stuff causing terrible noises etc. T... | |
| New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers! Looking at the design, it's a kinda modern interpretation of classic standmount designs. Dont think that was intended, but sealed enclosure, relatively wide baffle(for a modern design) and fairly nondescript look - is growing on me |
