| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. I like his channel BUT he's absolutely not the last word in loudspeaker and crossover design! I notice he's fast to criticize many loudspeakers companies, but these companies have price points and mass market speakers unlike him. There are MANY go... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers @audphile1 I had to move my system and haven't had a chance to compare the two yet. I'm absolutely positive it's an improvement. One immediate thing I noticed is its less fatiguing to listen to over longer periods of listening. This was a problem ... | |
| All New Wharfedale Dovedale Loudspeakers : Giant Killers ?! @soix Did you watch the linked YouTube video. At Axpona they were telling people about the excellent cabinet construction and claim they can also be placed almost anywhere since port noise is so low. They also have a 2-circuit board crossover netw... | |
| Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners? Just a suggestion, maybe consider creating a facebook group. I see lots of very unique and specialty audio groups with them. I'm subscribed to several of them. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Thanks for the information. I'll call them Monday. These won't be my primary speakers, but the price is low enough I want to give them a try. I've heard them several times at the shows. TMR was telling me approximately 10 weeks wait. I wonder if t... | |
| All New Wharfedale Dovedale Loudspeakers : Giant Killers ?! I listened to them over a 2-day period at Axpona along with the KLH Model 7's. They sounded very good. I've never seen them available for purchase yet for any US based company. I'm sure they will be trickling in slowly! They are high up on my list... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! This may sound like a stupid question but how exactly do you order an LRS+ speaker on Magnepan's web site? The closest dealer is 3 hours from me. I heard they would let you order this speaker direct. There web site has no ordering options. They do... | |
| Music Server Advice @thyname I was at the Aurender room a couple weeks back in Axpona and they were telling me they are currently going through Roon Certification. They claim it will be a software update, but I find this confusing since previously they stated their C... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers One streamer is my computer with USB out (No DAC) and the new streamer has no DAC. I have an external DAC. I just want to verify improvements in the new streamer versus the streaming using my computer. I think the new streamer sounds amazing, but ... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers The streamers are feeding the DAC on USB. Switchboxes come in configurations with 2 inputs (from each streaming source) and one output to the DAC. The switchbox changes the input between the two USB sources. Am I misunderstanding something? I'm gu... | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k KLH model 7's on risers! I heard them twice and they are a bargain at $4K. Only problem is they won't be out for a few more months! | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers The old adage of the bigger the woofer the more air it can move still holds true to a certain degree, but many other factors impact the quality and depth of the bass. I'm amazed at the bass speakers now have with much smaller woofers! | |
| Revel F228be My philosophy on a system is different than most peoples. You can make cheaper speakers sound amazing with better electronics, but the opposite is not true! Also, speakers are harder to sell than other stereo components mainly because many are lar... | |
| Axpona 2023 First time I ever heard the NS-5000 speakers. It was very cool the designer of the speakers was in the room. They sounded very nice but there's lots of competition with speakers in the $15,000 range! | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. When your cables costs more than your home! I guess it's all a matter of perspective. If I was that wealthy my guess, is I might buy some of those cables! |
