| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio From your feedback it sounds like I would be foolish not to do a home demo of the Kaya 45. The dealer is reluctant, but it’s my money so he may have to reconsider that stance. @spinaker01 Based on my store demos my consensus is down to... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. The G3 is a physically bigger speaker than the Kaya 45 which in my case is a good thing. The Kaya may work for me. I am posting some feedback below I got back from previous USA Vivid distributor and Vivid themselves. Could be useful for someone.... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname He was inferring that if you bought a m900u you can use the preamp section of the 509x standalone. You connect the 509x's XLR preamp output into the external m900u amp. There is a switch on the 509x that you likely need to flip. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio Thanks for that feedback. I may have to send you a message to ask some questions. I need to first compare the G3 to the Kaya 45. I also have 2nd bigger room (odd shaped) that my wife is saying it would be nice to have music in. | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @david_ten When I am a voice of reason then that is not too comforting. However, in my defense I do not have a good system yet, my KEF LS50 + Peachtree Nova 150 is a bedroom system. I am here weaving, bobbing, and talking the audio jive so I can ... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname What erik_squires described on a technical basis was what the dealer also told me was the reason the m900u sounded so much better.I am set on buying the m900u and I am trending towards not getting the Luxman c900u that almost all m900u ow... | |
| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC I was at a show in LA that did a head to head-to-head comparison with MQA and non-MQA. This system was using a T+A HV 3100 integrated + external T+A HV power supply. It was driving Wilson Alexa 2 (I think). The MQA dac was an expensive one which I... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 You do not need to replace the 509x since it is rather good. However, as someone who has recently did a head-to-head comparison with the Luxman m900u amp and the 509x integrated. I can say that to my ears the m900u is leagues ahead of the 509x, co... | |

| S3 Mark II vs Scala Utopia V2 @smodtactical I am curious about the pricing of the Persona's in Canada. In my experience NOTHING is cheaper in Canada than in the USA, except pharmaceutical drugs.I liked the Magico S3 MK11 and was the first Magico I thought I could buy but I tho... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system I bought Revel Salon 1 used 20 years ago. I rented a pickup truck and drove 4 hours to Los Angeles to pick them up. I had a certified check for $10K and gave it to the seller in person after I saw the speakers were in the condition I wanted. | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... @in_shore The AudioByte looks rather interesting. Can you post your feedback on the demo you will do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojFKx5QREYE | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I think the taste for music in my case is genetic. My folks tell me as a baby I was the most content with a small transistor radio in my crib. I remember as a 10 year+ listening to the radio on a broken single Sony speaker until 6AM because the mu... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system The Music Room web site TMRaudio.com is another place that can buy and sell your dad's gear. Audiogon requires you to have to do more of the leg work but you should get slightly more here than at TMR. https://tmraudio.com/ | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-music-industry-responds/ One place kids like me are getting exposure to new music is the incredible "KCRW.com". Oldies and mostly new on a limited music broadcast NPR station from Santa Monica. Every da... |
