| Computer out of music room Why spend $4k when you can get maybe a better solution for $400, a used Sonore microRendu. I use the microRendu for the last 4+ years. This device is a Ethernet-2-USB converter. So you hook up the device to your network by Ethernet and then the ou... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef @eisenb11 I was told by dealers that carry KEF that the REF 1 would work in my similar sized room. However, they did say that the REF 1's sound best with some space from the back wall.I bet the new Vivid monitor speaker that is due out soon would... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef I saw this recent article by the guy I am going to get to create my DRC Convolution file. I mentioned it previously on this thread. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/manufacture/0420/Understanding_Digital_Room_Correction_For_Audiophiles.htm ... | |
| VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS I was close to selecting the Vivid Kaya 45 for my office. The price gave me pause and I was wondering if it was that much better than the much cheaper KEF Reference 1 or 3 that I was also considering. I really liked the Kaya 45 and since it remind... | |
| ~$6K mini-monitor recommendations? What do you expect to get that the Kef LS50 can't deliver? I think you will just be throwing money away. I think the same thing. I am going to both upgrade my electronics to use with my LS50's and also buy a bigger "bookshelf" speaker to keep ... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Move to Carpinteria, CA and all you need to do is step outside your door and breath the air to get your fix of weed. Carpinteria, CA maybe the center of the "legal" weed industry in CA. I used to live there but that smell was too much for this non... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef When you say in your opinion have you tried it yourself with a good microphone or are you just assuming?The guy I plan on having do the convolution files for me is mitchco from Audiophile Style web site. Have a look through his book or his reviews... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef I have the same room size but have made it a little bigger by being a little creative. Take a look here. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605 I was thinking I have to settle on a small monitor in this room since it is small. Adding the GIK a... | |
| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier I owned the KEF LS50 + Benchmark AHB2 + Benchmark DAC3 HGC and it was my favorite setup with the LS50s.These are the other amps I had with the LS50sPeachtree Nova 150 (not bad, can listen long hours, maybe 80% of the AHB2 in details)Bryston PowerP... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The smearing you you mention is something I also had with my speakers in my small office. Adding the GIK acoustic panels at the first reflection was an amazing improvement for me. That smearing of the sound disappeared. | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? I had no idea of how long this would last. The following article is about 3 years old. https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/07/health/flu-pandemic-sanjay-gupta/index.html | |

Don’t read these comments if they hurt your sensibilities. nonoise, I am a very sensitive person, but the constant liberal drivel about how F. U. our res... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Just curious if the following speaker can be vertically bi-amped? There is a photo of the back of the speaker on the link below.https://www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/reviews/110-follow-up-yamaha-ns-5000-loudspeakers-edit... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Benchmark is selling them as fast as they make them, along with the new preamp(s). There is a 3 week waiting period to get it. When I got mine a few years ago (not much people knew about it) there was no wait.. | |
| Amp for kef reference 1 The Hegel 390 (not 360) would be a top choice to keep things simple. I have heard the Hegel 360 with KEF Blades (similar to the Reference line) and it was surprisingly good given that the Blade is a fairly big speaker. The Hegel 390, which I have ... |
