| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room The Raidho xt series plays great in small rooms with abvriety of gear. Definitely worth some consideration - they are high resolution but still forgiving | |
| Getting into tubes line magnetic is incredible both sonically, aesthetically (imo), and build quality. i think you can't go wrong with any of their amps. | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Hello, I have a chord qbd76hdsd that I purchased earlier this year because I didn't want to point up for a Dave. It's a great unit. PM if you're interested as I was looking to sell and possibly move up to a Dave. Says nothing negative about the qb... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. i found audio research pairs nicely with dynaudio (both their solid state and tube products). worth giving klaus at odyssey audio a call too - his amps can beautifully drive any speaker. | |
| Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back? While I don't have experience with that model, I haven't heard a Line Magnetic amp that I didn't adore. I've even run them on dynaudios with great results - makes no sense on paper but the music is beautiful | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Klaus' amps at odyssey audio sound full to me without any bloat or loss of resolution | |
| Switching to solid state amp? depending on your wattage requirements, klaus at odyssey audio builds amazing amps at great prices. i recently took delivery of a kismet and am just loving the sound. powerful, detailed, beautiful bloom - not overwhelming amounts. overall, love it... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) how about something like a series one magico s3 - there were a few here that had a price in the 11-14k range. the series one s1 could be had at well below budget there is/was an s1mk2 listed a week or so back in the same price range.if you want so... | |
| Chord Dave the dave is a killer dac. there is just so much resolution AND soul to the sound. i have the baby brother, the chord qbd76 hdsd...it's no slouch.have you tried the pre in the chord? is it any good? | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? RAIDHO RAIDHO RAIDHO! seriously, the x1/xt1/c1.1/d1.1 would all be killer. i use a c1.1 in my living room.yes, i have a dealer affiliation. yes, you can see that i post about them alot - but notice that there is almost no other piece of gear i pos... | |
| Another soundstage question completely agreed on the tube pre. every system needs tubes somewhere :)...i haven't heard some of the newer ss pre's like pass xp30 or esoteric c03x so maybe those are capable of a similar dimensionality.i've had good luck widening my speakers a ... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB my "shoot from the hip" answer is that the one with the more robust power supply will have the most headroom and be capable of the most dynamic swings | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? i think line magnetic makes great looking and sounding gear at a primaluna pricepoint. exceptional build quality to boot | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers i've always loved the look of the wilson alexia - it's my biggest reason for wanting one :) | |
| Focal sopra 2 or raidho d2? raidho dealer disclaimer -i greatly prefer raidho to focal. i know the usual response is "dealers always plug their products", however, i heard focal well before i heard raidho and well before i was a dealer/in the industry at all. i was looking f... |
