| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @audiotroy I think you mean that you DISAGREE with me about the speakers being behind. Coming from you I take that comment with some interest since you are rather knowledgeable about audio. From my perspective my brain is not messed up with the u... | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? Have you guys heard the new Judas Priest release. I am a fan of this new one. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume No recommendations about speakers from me on this one, but just a remark about the poster advocating for placing the speakers BEHIND the listener. I could not disagree more. As far as I know the human ear is designed with the full opening in FRON... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @ilikeclassical look at my office. It was a PIA to make sound great. I have 6 monitors and 1 silent computer. I sit at the desk and have NOTHING between the speakers and my ears. I say do the same thing for yourself or at least try it out. Office... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @ilikeclassical You have a great room for your office. I think you can get a floor stander in there easy. Not too big though. Just for giggles why not try moving your desk back a bit more and them move your chair closer to the speaker side and l... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @ronkent the issue for me was that I could hear hiss from the preamp on quiet musical passages. Once I heard it was always on my mind and I was only listening to the hiss, even on louder passages. Now this hiss level is about the same for a lot of... | |
| Cd player If your DAC is compatible then the following is great, even with the cheapest used OPPO as a transport (like $200). An additional bonus is that it also plays DSD (SACD). My Benchmark DAC3B and Schitt Yggi+ LIM DACs both work with it. I was thinkin... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I have owned the CODA 07x for a year. I listen near-field and the 07x was way too noisy for me. The Holo Serene is a comparable and totally silent with better clarity but not as tubeby. Someone that wants more warmth may like the 07x more. I thin... | |
| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh Are you his publicist? Thanks, I did not know what he was up to since his thread stopped. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume If you are close by, go have a listen to this and compare with Magico, Vivid, KEF, Focal, Paradigm in the same price range or much higher. I have with the bigger NS5000. NS-3000 – Custom Home Automation Solution, Entertainment Systems (kennedy-hi... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @akg_ca Are you speaking from experience? of doing this in a small room. If not then you need to understand the issues of a desk, monitors, and others reflecting in front of you. That will be worse than elevator music. @ilikeclassical I gave you ... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume The KEF Reference 1 was a speaker I was considering. However, I upgraded my KEF LS50 to the KEF LS50 Meta and heard a big improvement. Contrary to what I read online about it being a minor improvement. I have really good gear and could hear the di... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @grislybutter So you were underwhelmed when you heard a speaker behind you? Total opposite of how I hear my office system. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume A floor stander like the Paradigm Personal 3F with a super warm amp. Something along those line. I may have misspoken when I said a floor stander could work great. I was assuming the clear listening space was 13 x 21. I now think that is your over... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume I am from Toronto (yyz) but now live in Santa Barbara, CA. There is a great CODA dealer out of Winnipeg I forgot the guy’s name. Doug at Coda can give you the dealer info for Canada. Your room is much better than mine for audio. Whatever, you put... |
