| A couple of headphone needs, I used to hate headphones until I got the Meze Empy. It is fatigue free and I can listen for hours late at night (like right now). It is however $3K. Meze also make a headphone for $300 that is supposed to be real good, 99 Classics. Supposed to so... | |
| Thiel Owners From a placement standpoint the coax is magic. I agree. I have had a few speakers with the tweeter and mid on the same driver unit and it has always made placement much easier. I am slightly off center in my seating. With my KEF LS50's (also a ... | |
| Thiel Owners I cannot play with the placement other than these minor movements. I bought the CS3.7 on the assumption that if it did not work in the office. I could eventually move them downstairs to the much larger living room. The living room is my sons play ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks everyone for the great info provided here. It has made this problem pretty easy and fast to resolve. I have a speaker repair tech from the local high end audio store coming to my home next Tuesday. The cost is not much for 1 hour work and t... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Come on man. If you do not listen to music what's the point? | |
| How do I pay? There a a lot of speakers you can buy for $4K. If the person is being difficult buy something else. Especially for someone with no Feedback. This seller should jump through hoops to get a sale and some good Feedback. | |
| Keeping a Peachtree Nova 300 Cool I had the NOVA 150 and it never got hot. You may want to contact Peachtree and ask about the high temps you are seeing. I had a speaker binding issue with my unit. They gave me a brand new unit and paid return for my old unit. | |
| Thiel Owners I called Rob Gillum about the COAX installation know what needs to be done to resolve the out-of-phase issue. I have decided to use the services of a local audio store in Santa Barbara. They will send a repair tech to my home next Tuesday to do th... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I like a few of the Soundstage.com reviewers. The LS50 Meta is going to be reviewed on the 15th by them. I hope it is by one of the reviewers I like. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @clearthinker Some people need a preamp because they (like me) think the volume control on a DACs is not as good direct to amp. Yes, I have done that for years. There are also people with sources that do not have a volume control, how do you play ... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @kren0006 I was going to get the Yamaha NS5000 but then I saw a local ad for a speaker that I liked better, the Thiel CS3.7. It also has less bass so it works better in my room.I am still looking at the NS5000 or KEF Blade2 for my larger room down... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @emergingsoul You sound like someone that needs to have a listen to the Luxman c900u preamp and m900u amp stack. Only tubey sound I loved and it is SS, great stuff. I would not mind putting the HPA4 or LA4 with the Luxman m900u amp but I will try ... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @emergingsoul I don't buy the ego driven thing as something that applies to most folks. I think people buy what they like or need for their system. If the LA4 cost $20K I would have to do more demoing and likely still got it. However, at $2.5K it ... | |
| Thiel Owners Some important news was found out from my DRC measurement steps (first step actually). I want to clarify a point about the slight harshness I was hearing on the CS3.7 top end. I was saying it was not as smooth as the KEF LS50.The measurements show... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. I spoke with Rory Rail at Benchmark when I order 6 months ago. They are not keeping up with demand even today. Go to the web site today and see the disclaimer (capital letters are from web site)." WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY HIGH DEMAND FOR OUR... |
