| Speakers for Michi X3? I heard the Rotel Mitchi on Wednesday of this week with some new B&W floor standers. There was some very slight fatigue happening with me, but I attributed that to the room which was at a dealer and had glass on one side. I wanted to hear the... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers @dbphd In the video posted above comparing the LS50+KC62 with the LS60 the KC62 is placed at the same height as the LS50 drivers. That is interesting. The Blade sound is designed on coming from a single point source, so I wonder if placing subs i... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? @arafiq I had a big speaker, Thiel CS3.7’s, in my 12x11x9 office for close to 2 years. It was a fun challenge to make them work in this space. I used various combinations of the following to make it work, GIK | Convolution filter on ROON | Rearra... | |
| Best speakers for a small room @auroravengeance The other two options under 10K for bookshelves that really warrant serious considerations are AudioVector R1 Arrete and Yamaha NS3000. I listened to both and they are very fun to listen to and are definitely flagship quality. ... | |
| Krell K3001 vs. NAD M33 I know the AHB2 does not use Purifi but they should sound similar. Here is a review of the Reference 3 + AHB2 monos. KEF Reference 3 Review - Magic Making Machines (soundnews.net) | |
| Krell K3001 vs. NAD M33 The NAD M22 V2 I had recently was returned because it was nothing special. I am assuming the NAD M33 is more like a Benchmark AHB2 due to the Purifi module in the M33 and also better than the M22 V2. My next speaker is going to be KEF Blade 2 MET... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Ear fatigue is caused by higher ordered harmonic distortion that isn't masked by the music or lower ordered harmonics. My friend who is an audio hardware vendor told me the same thing yesterday. I was complaining about fatigue using a new prod... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC One important aspect of having separates for streaming, volume, etc.. is that you can buy these units in the used market. For example, one of my 3 Sonore OpticalRendu’s is used and was a significant cost savings. I also never liked the volume on ... | |

| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Schitt Freya+ | |
| Headphone suggestions needed @youngerd This is not yet released widely (next month) but the $2K RAAL CA-1a will likely be incredible on your gear. I am using it on a $500 Schitt Jotunheim R and it is rather good. On my $7K RAAL VM-1a (tube headphone amp for ONLY the RAAL SR1a... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable @steve59 A Musetec 005 will get you a lot of sound for $3K. A slightly warm sounding DAC. I have one. I was re-reading this thread again and wanted to update with some placement observations I had. I moved my Thiel CS3.7’s to my living room and ... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers I could not tell a difference, but I was using my computers DAC and work headphones. Anyone hear a difference? I put my very old KEF LS50 with my newish KC62 and I am very happy with the results. I had this combo in a big room, and it was OK but... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) I do not think the corporate aspect of music is that much different today. I just think that music is no longer a driving engine in culture. Which means less really talented people trying to make a career in music. | |
