| Thinking to upgrade speakers I also was very interested in legacy speakers. I had seen pictures but never heard a pair until recently when I picked up a demo pair of Studio HD reference monitors. They look beautiful and the sound is gorgeous as well. Very well balanced with... | |
| Thinking to upgrade speakers sthlm78, You are doing very well. I think the powered LS 50s are better then I can make my passive LS 50’ssound with any combination of amplifier, pre-amplifier, or DAC. The blade twos are surprisingly versatile. I had them in my 12 x 14 office... | |
| Thinking to upgrade speakers Like STHLM78, I am also a big fan of Concentric drivers and currently own and listen to KEF Blade 2's and LS50's. I also own a beautiful pair of Focal Electra 1028 BE speakers, which I adore! When I auditioned the Focal speakers, I listened to the... | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? AIFF? | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? I have collected quite a bit of gear and enjoy the newer and legacy formats. I still love my turntables and CD/SACD players! I also enjoy Tidal streamed over my Sonos Connects (CD Quality). I have several upgraded iPod classics that I play (IAFF l... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I do not know Troy and have never shopped in his store. I enjoy his posts. While he certainly has some motive to promote the brands he sells, his thorough and knowledgeable insights allow me to learn about large, heavy and expensive gear w/o havin... | |
| Recommendation on power amp I would also like to hear them with the new Parasound JC-5. | |
| Recommendation on power amp I have a pair of Blade 2's that I have owned since 2015. They work well in both mid sized and small rooms. I was shocked that they did not overload my 12' x 13' office. They are better in a larger room away from boundaries, but were surprisingly ... | |
| Why so many used focals? I agree with emcade. Don't sell the Electras short either. The 1028be and 1038be can sound spectacular. The 1028 be are my wife's favorite speakers in our home. She loves the way they look and sound (she has very good ears). I had to promise that ... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER I love Eva Cassidy!!! Don't sell Linda Ronstadt short. The "What's New" album recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra is amazing!!! | |
| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? SVS subs are terrific, but you won't need one with KEF R 700's (currently available at close-out prices). You will need quality, high current amplification to drive them. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Allman Brothers "Heart Of Stone", Frampton's "Black Hole Sun." | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I have heard the Parasound Halo many times paired with all sorts of different speakers (at a local High-End store;Quest For Sound), It has always sounded very good! The Prima Luna integrateds have "blown me away" when paired with newer Maggies (.7... | |

| Looking for speaker recommendations Magnepan 1.7i. I have heard them twice, once with a Prima Luna 35 wpc tube integrated and also with a pair of Bel Canto class D mono blocks. They were shockingly good both times! |
