| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? I have listened to many Class D amps and have owned five different ones. Almost all of them retailed for over $3500.00And likely had a production cost of about $600. That's the primary advantage of class D. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? The M40.1s would be better suited to your room, but even those won't give you the bass dynamics you likely crave. Find a way to hear some Cornwalls -- maybe join a local audio club. It may even be worth a short flight to SoCal (where you could spe... | |
| chinese counterfeitng The Chinese integrated I just got is genuine and can trash a whole bunch of others as wellVery true of some Cayins and Line Magnetics. | |
| chinese counterfeitng Parasound, Tannoy....China.I think most here are referring to the PRC. | |
| chinese counterfeitng It's been a big problem for a while. Think about the airplane you are flying in--what if some part had been inadvertently installed from counterfeit sources? It's happens. The Air Force was sold a bunch of counterfeit o-rings a few years ago - mad... | |
| rockin bookshelf size speaker-flightable Wharfedales have middle-road dynamics, not exactly "polite," but not thrilling either. For kicking dynamics within your budget: JBL, Epos, Bryston, Klipsch, and Focal. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? What’s the problem with unipivot tonearms?Nothing. They have their strengths and weaknesses, as do gimbal arms. Such comments are to be expected from the direct-drive peanut gallery. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Hi folks, looking like the new Schitt turntable is nigh upon us. Hardly. That article was published last year and there has been no further mention of the table anywhere. It will certainly slay some giants if/when it does come around because Schii... | |

| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @helomech - nobody in KC has those brands. I traveled to hear themMay I ask where? I live within driving distance of KC, so I'm curious how far these dealers are. I don't mind driving 3 or 4 hours to audition some gear. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? I’ve Heard Harbeth sound the most like real with instruments and Klipsch will excite but aren’t as trueThat’s the problem with relying on opinions of others. Everyone hears differently. Harbeths are good but I had the opposite experience in which ... | |
| rockin bookshelf size speaker-flightable https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/90360/Epos-Epos_Elan_15_2-Way_Loudspeakers_Pair-Speakers Get these. They have a midrange comparable to Harbeth but far more dynamic. Excellent for rock and EDM. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Who in KC sells the Wilsons and Devores? | |
| Vandersteen 1 repair. Vandersteen speakers have matched pair drivers. They also match them to the crossovers. You’d be better off sending in the pair to have matched and updated drivers installed. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? It's not so much your room size I'd be concerned with but the 15' listening distance. If you play your music loud (as heard from your seating position) you're likely to strain speakers of that size and power handling.Whether they're the best speak... |
