| School bus / Tiny Home Speaker Recommendation? How about some active KEF LSX II speakers. These are small and supposed to be great. LSX II | KEF USA If you can get them to fit, LS50 II (the active version with Meta). The KEF KC62 sub would be a breeze to integrate (even wirelessly) with the ... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? I spoke with a KEF Blade and KRELL amp dealer today on the East Coast. The dealer loves the KEF Blade and knows it very well. We had a superb conversation about amps for the Blades. One of the most knowledgeable dealers I have ever spoken with. ... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @krell_fan1 Thanks for the contact info on Dennis. I spent an hour in conversation with him. We agreed for the most part, except his opinion that the CODA #16 was slightly warmer than the KRELL. I thought the KRELL was slightly warmer than the COD... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today For the money, there may be no better option, though many would state my Krell DUO 300 XD might sound as good or better. When I heard the CODA #16 I thought it sounded a lot like my KRELL DUO 175XD. The 175XD cannot go down into 2 Ohm as strong... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @krell_fan1 I spoke with a KRELL dealer today in WA about the new amp. His partner had demoed the KRELL KSA i400 at a WA show and loved it. The guy I spoke to found the KRELL XD not as warm as he prefers (he is more of a PASS fan). He had not hear... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @phish_tacos What do you think of the quality of the KCRW on air signal? I love it. Have you compared it to the KCRW stream, I dislike it. The KCRW HD stream is awful. Mind you I am getting the signal from a re-transmitter from Santa Barbara and ... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @rlovendale I was thinking of 2 #16's in mono but I was wondering if that would be the optimal sound from the #16. I believe most amps (except AHB2) increase distortion and other negative factors when switched from stereo to mono. I will discuss t... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @decooney Read the Stereophile review of the KEF Blade 2 Meta using benchmark AHB2 monos. KAL R loved that pairing. I however think it will not be as good. I went through the AHB2 love and hate with my hard to drive Thiel CS3.7. No way I use the... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today I owned the CODA 07x and the CODA #8. I recently sold both from my office sytsem. I liked my Benchmark LA4 preamp better. I am debating between the following 2 amps for my Livingroom: - the soon to be released KRELL KSA i400 - CODA #16 I heard... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @audphile1 What were the preamp and amp that you connected together? My point was about preamp and amp that were AES48 compliant and XLR cables not having much sonic differences amongst decent cables. There are some differences but those were not... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @dpop I understood the issue you brought up previously since I have always been a fan of FM radio and had been very disappointed in the last 2 decades with the state of radio. When I moved down to Southern Cal and discovered KCRW my faith in radi... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @bdp24 Gear that adheres to the AES48 standard do have some audible sonic differences with various types of XLR's. The thing is if you are not too anal about it you can get 95% there with much lower cost pro cables. Even for those small difference... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions Over the air FM sounds so much better where I live than streaming. I am currently listening to a classic rock station on a refurbished Accuphase T-101 tuner and I am just blown away at how good it sounds. I was thinking that is is almost as good a... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 You are one cat that has selective comprehension. Who the heck was talking about " QOS over the Internet". I was talking about on the home network as I clearly stated in my reproduceable test of how to make a ROON stream distort the so... | |
| KEF LS60 with a pair of KC62s v Blade 2 I am trying to see if my LS50 Meta + KC82 sub will compete with the LS60. I saw a video very someone stacked the LS50 on top of the KC62 and another where the KC62 was raised to the same height as the LS50 Meta on stands. I get my KC62 from KEF re... |
