| Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help Larsen 4 or 6 should be within your 4k budget and they are designed to be placed within an inch or two of the front wall. Www.larsenhifi.com | |
| No love for Tannoy Definition subs I'm not doubting you @hickamore but I thought the Definition subs were equipped with dual 12" drivers not 15" as mentioned. If the dual 12" model retailed for over $7k, I'd assume the dual 15" model would cost even more. ($9k?) At that price you'... | |
| Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations. I've not heard it (most haven't) but the forthcoming Rose RA180 looks interesting in the GAN class D category. I realize the looks can be polarizing, and evil tone controls, but it looks to be an extremely flexible unit. | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I've owned one (and then two) SVS SB12+ which were a step up in quality from the NSD. They were nice subs but I ultimately required more headroom when I was building a system in my main system (large, open floor plan with no way to pressurize the ... | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? Yes, it's indicative of the industry and influencing others to chase the next best thing. At least Steve is not...air quotes "manufacturing" a re-badged Doge Integrated and selling it like it's something new to the world while still maintaining ... | |
| Domain Trades for High end Audio Gear Seeing as domains are relatively cheap to obtain, and high end audio is not, it seems like you're investing in a strange area. I'd guess that Snell XA references would still cost $12-15,000 on the used market, that's 240 -300 domains at a generou... | |
| Fyne Audio - New Speakers Displayed in Munich Sued on what grounds? Dual concentric drivers or walnut veneers? | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars High end home audio is a niche market. Cars are not. Any audio company looking for additional and compatible revenue streams can create brand awareness and potential future customers by inserting a speaker set or head unit into a luxury or halo ca... | |
| Amp Recommendations for Marantz 7c I own a restored 7T in my home office system, and have paired it with both a lightly restored Dynaco st-70, and a Bob Latino ST-70. I prefer the latter as it is not as tubby sounding as the original. The VTA amps are a great value. | |
| Acoustic Zen - blown tweeter - out of business? replacement? If you get desperate, you could try tracking down this unit. This site looks kinda sketchy, so I'm not sure I would purchase from them, but the product name leads me to believe this could be the same unit with a different mounting plate ( square v... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present I owned a pair of their SB12+ that didn't have enough output for our open floor plan home, and needed to move up to a pair of sealed 15s. That's about the only issue i had, and it was more poor application than anything. | |
| From Jeff Rowland to Primaluna. Yes or No? I went from a Jeff Rowland Model 2, to a Pass Labs XA30.5, to a Primaluna Evo 300 Power amp, currently driving a pair of Tannoy Legacy Ardens (93db sensitivity vs the SF's 91db). I could happily live with any of these amps in my system. I don't t... | |
| Getting lossless Apple Music to my dac According to the 5200's DAC1 specs, the USB input handles PCM-based digital music files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD files up to 11.2 MHz. What are the details on your lossless files, and what about your laptop's capabilities lead you to believe i... | |
| Balanced tube amp for $200 You might try searching over on headfi.org where there is a greater focus on headphones and associated gear like headphone amps. | |
| New and improved Diamond Back Oil!!! Regardless of male/female ends, I'd still like see directional arrows at that price. |
