Anyone have experience with the new ELAC DDP-2?
Read the show reviews of the ELAC Andante speakers. Lots of raves.Now notice that Andrew Jones always demos these speakers with Alchemy electronics. And he was partnering with Alchemy before Alchemy was part of ELAC. There is a reason for that. I ... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
Add my vote for the 7s.I have 5A carbons. For 25 years my wife put up with my audio habit and its intrusion into our living room. She would listen but it was never a big thing for her. Three days after the 5A carbons were installed I came home to ... 
I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61
I thought they sounded wonderful on Sunday. I am extremely sensitive to strident mids or highs and I heard natural sounding detail and warmth. I think you will have to hear them for yourself :-) 
Moving from the Esoteric P-05/ D-05 to the K-03
I believe there is a difference between X models purchased new and upgrades of existing units to X status. The upgrades don't get the new DAC, etc. 
Vandersteen Seven Review
I own 5A carbons and I plan to upgrade to the model 7 as soon as I can write the check. Sooner or later they will be mine :-)I settled on Vandersteens after a lot of listening at shows and some at dealers. For comparison, the 5A carbon has the car... 
Phasure NOS1 DAC Owners Impressions Post Here
I don't own one but I heard it at the NY audio show last spring with Venture's class A mono blocks and their smaller speakers. I thought it sounded incredibly good. I listened to a CD on the same system which used a different DAC and the sound was... 
A comparison Vandersteen 5A-Coincident PRE
My musical taste intersects pretty well with www.radioparadise.com.I also enjoy classical. 
A comparison Vandersteen 5A-Coincident PRE
I used to own Infinity RS 2Bs and I drove them wth a Perraux 3150 amp. I now own Vandersteen 5A carbons and I'm driving them with the old Perraux and a CAT preamp. Clearly my amp is a weak link by modern standards but the dealer assured me it was ... 
Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room?
You asked...I have 5A Carbons in an 11 x 22 foot room with an 8 foot ceiling. The woofer technology is identical to the 5A non-Carbon. I was limited where I could place the speakers because the room is shared. The back of the speakers are 18" from... 
HRS Isolation damping plates
I just tried these and they improved things a lot when I play loud music with low bass. I tried "lowly material" but it just moved the problem around.My electronics are between the speakers (bad idea, but I have no alternative). As a result, the t... 
Room matters
In my experience, the Lyngdorf gear can dramatically improve how the room affects the sound. I had never been able to get smooth bass response in any listening room. I have never had the luxury of a dedicated room – speaker placement and listening...
