| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? I just ordered a set of speakers in Olive Ash Burl. They look amazing. | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) Consider some Legacy speakers. Very efficient, full range and very nice cabinets with 3 grades of finishes. Outstanding bass and ribbon tweeters and Mids. | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound 0 Audio Icon 12. I thought it was amazing at AXPONA. Also volti is another choice. Lot's of other great choices you will be ignoring though if you are tied to horns. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @audiotroy I don't see a .8 model listed on the Coda website. Is this an old model or a new model? | |
| AV rack - Quadraspire Evo I have the Quadraspire SV2T stand in black bamboo with silver columns. It’s an excellent quality stand and looks great. No regrets at all. I purchased it maybe a year ago. They make very high-quality products. I have a BAT VK-80 Tube preamp on thi... | |
| Pre Amp Question. Old or New? LTA makes nice products but be warned they are not True balanced preamps despite them having XLR connectors. If you require this look elsewhere. | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @vthokie83 There were many more rooms this year with Active/DSP based systems at AXPONA. A popular YouTube reviewer also noticed this. It seems this is going to be the future for many companies. I heard the Dutch and Dutch 8C's at AXPONA a couple ... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Thanks for all of your opinions. This has been very informative and given me much to think about! Lots of pro and cons for both sides. | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @fthompson251 Thanks for your feedback. I just listened to the Legacy Focus SE with Wavelet II at AXPONA and it was impressive. I'm not really wanting to substitute my existing preamp and DAC for the wavelet though and that's another reason for my... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @yyzsantabarbara I actually talked to Danny a few days ago at AXPONA. I'm not really listening to my headphones at all. I sold my VM-1a but still have my headphones. I also used convolution filters with my RAAL headphones. They were also custom ma... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Thanks to both of you for your advice. I assumed this would be most people's opinions here. Usually less and simple is best. Speakers are my last upgrade to my system (Yeah, I know they should be first) but the decision and selection is more diffi... | |
| AXPONA 2025 @hbarrel I don't think they had the Frigg 02 in the room. I listed to the Icon 12 twice and they sounded great! The bass on these speakers is at another level but they are $23,400. | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp WBT terminals that Coda uses are some of the best! | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors Good surge suppression is a MUST for expensive high-end equipment. Even a power conditioner can tremendously help some systems. I just replaced my stock power cable on my Puritan Audio PSM-156 with a new Shunyata - Theta XC Power Cable ($1000 cabl... | |
| How to find local audiophiles @wsrrsw I'm in North Sac so not too far from you. |
