| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? uber, why not keep your triangles and add a small sub? | |
| What are you streaming tonight? actually, you can create a very good playlist for an impending air crash--srv, skynyrd, buddy holly, otis redding--of course i wish you safe flight | |
| What are you streaming tonight? drive by truckers, american band--i've always admired these guys from a distance--they're certainly smart and sincere, but unlike their idols like skynyrd came off as somewhat clinical and overly literary. this one, however, is the real deal, tune... | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? xm sq really does suck, which is a pity since it has some great content. i had always hoped that they would create an uncompressed, premium version, but i don't think it'll ever happen... | |
| Burt Reynolds has passed away good looking guy who probably wouldn't support what's happening right now. so rip. | |
| Small speakers for the kitchen - Sensitivity 100% agree with akg on the rega. focal aria are also easy to drive would also work well. the kef might be a challenging load. | |
| Used 5.1 Reciever with Tidal accessories4less has great prices on new denon, yamaha and pioneer networking receivers (you can easily find something <$300) which have wifi for lossless streaming. | |
| Adding a third, center channel for dialogue to a 2 channel rig the center should match as closely as possible your fronts in terms of timber--ideally i'd use an ohm walsh as the center (or another ohm model that closely mirrors the frequency response, dispersion, etc. of your fronts) | |
| Have you heard the Sprout100? i heard the sprout 100 recently and i gotta say it's a very impressive piece of machinery for $599--even the bluetooth sounded good. did not seem underpowered at all--the all-in-one functionality, small form factor and clean design should satisfy ... | |
| Budget DAC/Preamp with Remote? just saw a peachtree novapre for $599 at upscale audio. | |
| Looking for suggestions (Martin Logan Source) it looks like amazon lists them singly, so you could buy another single speaker. alternatively you could use it as a center to match with a pair of other mls or try listing your single speaker on ebay and see if anyone else needs one. | |
| NAD Preamp i'd opt for a parasound 2100 or p5--nice gear which will match your amp | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system curiousjim, a lot of the newer avrs have wifi and bluetooth built in--if it doesn't you can add a google chromecast audio ($25), which is extremely simple and works very well | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system i don't doubt that arcam/anthem are much better for critical music listening, but if you're avr is just for movies the difference between the mass-market fare may not be cost-effective for you. personally, i'd go to accessories4less, which has gre... | |
| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? personally, i wouldn't drop $3k on a vintage amp, which as you note will require refurbishment/repair and (arguably) can't compete with modern designs, but if i had to i would go along with roxy and get a macintosh, which has collector status and ... |
