| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Not sure I'd recommend either upgrade path - if you love the S40s, why upgrade? The HS is IMHO a better speaker, but a different sounding one. Still a Dynaudio, but a more refined/laid-back vibe. I haven't heard the Benchmark, but it is a pow... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations for Pass Labs INT-250 & Dynaudio HS FWIW, I use Kimber 8TC with my Heritage Specials and Kimber Hero interconnects. There is a reason these are classic goto recommendations. | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes Nice to see the love for the BMR speakers - I heard them on Friday and thought they were just ok. Went back on Saturday and thought they were fantastic. May have broken in a bit, or my ears weren’t tired. If I hadn’t bought Salk Song3 BeATs last y... | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? @decooney - what tubes are you using in the Mono 120s? I have stock and am thinking of rolling.The mono 120s are great units. Hard to say how they compare with the big boys as I've never heard them head-to-head in the same system. That said, it... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! I don't use them with a sub - not needed in my room. I think they would integrate well with a good sub though. I've heard both the S40 and HS. The Heritage Specials are in a different league, although the S40 might appear to be a bit more fun a... | |
| Holo Serene vs Denafrips Athena (anyone compared these preamps?) @jnds1 - so what is your take on the Serene if you disagree with the reviews? | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @VerdantGreat work. What filter did you use on the M3? I've heard some people prefer the minimum phase and others the linear. (I own the M3 with ethernet - great DAC). | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? Sorry to hear that about the Bifrost. It is a good DAC. I did upgrade to an Audiomirror Tubador SE and a Bricasti M3. Both are considerably more expensive, but they are both a bit more neutral signature than the Bifrost - Schiit seems to like a... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @hilde45 - I am quite familiar with that amp as I own both it and the 120 (little brother). Both excellent amps with great bass control and articulation. Certainly hifi and quite a bargain at the price on offer. However, your finding is the same... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! I have my HS pair in a small room, at one end of the long wall. The left speaker is about 2' from the side wall, the right is basically open by comparison. I have absorber panels for the early reflections from the left speaker. (Some additional ... | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? I have two of the AVA SET amps - I think they do settle in a bit with break in, but both sounded great out of the box. | |
| Rush - The New Birth Control I really needed this today...great laughs (also a long-time Rush fan). | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Not my experience with these or the Excite line I own...probably also system dependent. I think Dyns like current... | |
| Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot I own the Dyn HS - great speakers. The 7" woofer goes reasonably low and I don't see any issues with resolution. In my small room, they go down low enough to not need a sub. | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! @bgchui - pretty darn good with low listening levels! The resolution they have is an asset here. I generally listen at moderate volumes (I always find dealers do demos way too loud!); when I turn down from there to very soft the music I get stil... |
