| Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions? I had a pair of walnut 3.0s. I really liked them. Gorgeous to look at with great imaging and detail. For under $1000 they are a great value and hard to go wrong with those. | |
| Best in wall speakers I enjoy Triad gold. Give them a listen. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Does anyone know if Sony plans to introduceTidal and MQA processing to the Hap anytime soon as an update? I like my Hap but spend a lot of time listening to Tidal. Thanks. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters When shopping for speakers, I had a budget of $15k. I auditioned a number of good, well know brands (not all) including Wilson, B&W, Magnepan, Golden Ear, Martin Logan, Focal, Sonus Faber and others. None of them satisfied me and was a big eno... | |
| Does Hannah Reid of London Grammar have the most captivating voice today? Roxy, I did check out some of the you tube videos and I have to say, I agree with your assessment of the videos. The you tube quality and general lack of live recording quality and no doubt studio embellishment that is missing fails to convey the ... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Guess I don't like change as much as others here.1992 Martin Logan Sequel II2016 Sonus Faber Venere 3.02017 Wilson Audio Sasha 2I am hoping to enjoy the Sashas longer (24 years) than the ML Sequels! | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Hannah Reed of London Grammar- ("If you wait" is my favorite)Shelby LynneLoreena MckennittAll the above have gorgeous, involving and emotional voices. Worth a listen if you aren't familiar | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3 I have the Sasha 2s and my relatively small Mcintosh mc152 with 150 wpc drives them easily thought to be honest, I don't listen at ear splitting levels in my small room. I really love the sound and assume the Sash 1 is not that far off the Sasha 2... | |
| Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 amplifier Recommendation I had a pair of Sf 3.0 and liked very much the way my Mcintosh MC 152 drove them (with C50 pre amp). Any decent to good amp should be able to get the job done with ease as I did not find them hard to drive. | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? They are on the long wall. My above comment from 6/17/17 sums my experience well. I know there is better gear out there. Some for less money and some for more. It does not matter to me as I am happy with the sound. I generally keep my gear for a l... | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? Well, it took awhile, but the dealer set up guru came and spiked the speakers and repositioned them after proper break in. I was very happy before but the sound is in another league better now. The sound is so much more focused and imaging and ... | |
| Does Hannah Reid of London Grammar have the most captivating voice today? Checked out a few of Beth Orton's and Cigarettes After Sex tracks. I enjoyed them both very much. They did not, IMO, display the same range, distinctiveness and emotion as Hanna. Thanks for the tip as it is always fun to discover and explore new a... | |
| Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1 The node 2 is one product that proves hifi does not have inflict financial pain to achieve a very good result. I use the digital output into my Mcintosh C50 processor and am beyond pleased. Reliable, convenient as all heck for streaming Tidal and ... | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? The Venere S was not introduced when I bought the Venere 3.0. I would have considered them and was disappointed they came out too late for me to consider. The 3.0 is a really good speaker for the money, was a tremendous sound for the money and ar... | |
| Question on hearing Yes, as we age our ability to discern frequencies diminishes. It is also easy for humans to become jaded over time, even with the best! In our youth, everything was new and exciting. Experiencing repetition does not excite as initially once did. ... |
