| Audiogon IGNORE Feature @mental You got the definition of IGNORE that I referenced correct. I do not want to see tons of post, especially arguments on threads. I would rather skip them or have them compressed. I could not care less if these same IGNORED people see my po... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? When you think that far into the future, I find myself doing so rather often. You realize that the "important" things of today maybe not so important in the grand scheme of things. I am currently reading my first real book in about 25 years (non-t... | |
| Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room I emailed Doug Schneider who did this review of the Blade 2 and asked him which was better the Blade or Blade 2. He said he thought the Blade 2 was better even in a bigger room.https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/960-kef... | |
| Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room I also have heard the Blade with Hegel gear and then 10 minutes later the Vivid Giya G1 Spirit with Luxman $65K amps. I preferred the Blades. Different strokes. Both rooms were nicely sized. | |

| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions @audiotroy Just keep posting your thoughts, very useful. Some much so that I copied one of your posts and emailed it myself for future reference. You know how these posts go it maybe deleted. | |
| Recommendation on power amp @newtoncrhttps://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/blade-2-1st-na-dealer-demo-pair-i-heard-them.17444/page-2Ayre + Blades Now that they have severs hundred hours on them and are now driven by Ayre MX-R Twenty monoblock amps they are, in a word, aweso... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Of the amps I have owned (nothing top notch) I could easily tell which was which in a blind test.1) Peachtree Nova 150. Decent mellow sound, not so clear on the high frequencies.2) Benchmark AHB2. Clear and quiet (my fav that I owned) but the soun... | |
| Peachtree Audio 2.0 Peachtree has the new Nova 500 with more power and also a new "better" preamp section. I am considering trading my Nova 150 in the Spring or splurging on the new Krell 300i integrated which has 2 HDMI inputs. The Nova 150 is a good unit and a litt... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @mzkmcv As someone who owned the Benchmark AHB2 and tested the amp with the Magico A3. I was a little disappointed in the comparison with the Mark Levinson 585 and upwards gear. The ML gear trounced my Benchmark with regards to space between instr... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) The Paradigm Person 5F that I heard with SimAudio amp has an excellent midrange, very clear and was non-fatiguing to my sensitive ears. I know a lot of folks cannot stand them. I have a feeling I would not like their choice in speakers based on my... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @oldtiger I listened to the Lynbgdorf 2170 (a old demo unit so burned in) and I loved the preamp section. I did not like the amp section and used an external SimAudio amp to hear the beauty of the preamp section. I did not listen to the DSP, but t... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @newtoncr Please post your impressions of the 2 amps with the Blades. I am particularly interested to hear about the synergy with the Krell XD. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @gosta In my posts on this tread I have been going back and forth stating I need to get a stand mount or floor stander. The reason being when I started setting up the LS50’s in my office the sound was fatiguing. So I was under the impression that ... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @gosta My speakers in the last 10 years due to lack of space:1) AudioengineUSA 2 (maybe 5 years)2) Thiel SCS4 (2 years)3) KEF LS50 (3 years)4) Audience 1+1 V3 (9 months)I finally have some space and I will not buy another stand mount. Just sick an... |
