| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen For anyone going to the LA Audio Show in June 2-4. The Persona (not sure which model) will be demoed by Shelleys Stereo in one of the rooms (likely room #433). | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? There is nothing as powerful as a computer as an audio streamer. However, a computer is not a good audio device since it is electrically noisy. My solution to this is to use the Sonare mircoRendu or SonicOrbiter (I have 2 rooms with speakers). Put... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question Internet radio sounds very bad to me. I am all digital except for a tuner. I can only listen to internet radio or other low quality streaming with low resolution speakers like AudioEngine A2 desktop speakers. When I upgraded to KEF LS50 speakers f... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question I bought a Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth (demo unit) last week so that I can try to pick up S.Cal's KCRW better. I get the Santa Barbara signal from 88.7. I managed to get marginal improvement with this unit and my Magnum Dynalab indoor/outdoor ant... | |
| Recommendation for Good Quality Desktop Speakers Passive version of KEF LS50. Not sure if your amp can drive it tough. Used prices are coming down now likely due to the active version of the LS50 being available. I use it on my desktop with a $480 ebay Parasound A23 amp. My KEF's were $1100 used... | |
| LS50s on desktop. What stand/base? IsoAcoustics are also what I use for both my KEF LS50 (passive) and KEF 3000A (active). It sounds better than directly on the desk. I have the LS50 stands on a 60’ long desk. | |
| Blade 2, Sabrina, Fact 12, Sopra 2 or Scala ? Out here in Southern California I have had the opportunity to hear most of the speakers you have listed. I liked the Focal quite a bit but the best of the bunch for me was the Blades. I have not heard the Blade2 (only the big brother) but it looks... | |
| Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review I heard the previous model at THE SHOW in L.A. playing directly into some 20 year amp. The amp was nothing fancy and was purposely chosen my Resonessence to show how good the DAC was playing on a so-so amp. I loved the sound it was the best DAC ... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! KEF X300A can be had on Amazon for $500. I bought a pair and it is OK for the bedroom system. | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Audiotroy,Thanks for your detailed response. I can see you are a fan of audio. I will take you up on your invite to listen to the 2 speakers I am interested in. I will be doing this when I have cash in the bank to buy. It has been a long time sinc... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Thanks Audio Doctor + staff for the commentary here. It was well received by me and it showed me that you guys have similar thinking to me. I think I will fly to NY and visit your store when I am ready to buy my new system. I have been trying to ... | |
| Paradigm Speakers Hi AudioDoctor,If I am not mistaken, i believe you guys carry the KEF Blade(2). If so, would you care to provide a comparison between the Blade2 and the similarly priced speaker in the Persona line. | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! I am hoping that someone will do a comparison between the KEF Blade 2 and the equivalent model in the Persona line. | |
| Kef/Revel bookshelf choice with amp selection help needed please http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/12/kef-ls50-wireless-review-dars-product-of-the-year-2016/Just read this review and I am now seriously questioning whether to go with the Benchmark amp (for my Benchmark DAC2) or just sell my passive LS50 and... | |
| Kef/Revel bookshelf choice with amp selection help needed please I like my KEF LS50 over my previous Revel Salon1 on the higher frequencies (bass was phenomenal on the Salon). So I would choose the KEF over Revel.I am using a Parasound A23 that I got from eBay for $500 with my KEF LS50 and it WAS a very good ma... |
