| Recommendation on power amp Of the amps I have owned (nothing top notch) I could easily tell which was which in a blind test.1) Peachtree Nova 150. Decent mellow sound, not so clear on the high frequencies.2) Benchmark AHB2. Clear and quiet (my fav that I owned) but the soun... | |
| Peachtree Audio 2.0 Peachtree has the new Nova 500 with more power and also a new "better" preamp section. I am considering trading my Nova 150 in the Spring or splurging on the new Krell 300i integrated which has 2 HDMI inputs. The Nova 150 is a good unit and a litt... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @mzkmcv As someone who owned the Benchmark AHB2 and tested the amp with the Magico A3. I was a little disappointed in the comparison with the Mark Levinson 585 and upwards gear. The ML gear trounced my Benchmark with regards to space between instr... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) The Paradigm Person 5F that I heard with SimAudio amp has an excellent midrange, very clear and was non-fatiguing to my sensitive ears. I know a lot of folks cannot stand them. I have a feeling I would not like their choice in speakers based on my... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @oldtiger I listened to the Lynbgdorf 2170 (a old demo unit so burned in) and I loved the preamp section. I did not like the amp section and used an external SimAudio amp to hear the beauty of the preamp section. I did not listen to the DSP, but t... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @newtoncr Please post your impressions of the 2 amps with the Blades. I am particularly interested to hear about the synergy with the Krell XD. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross There is 1 A'gon thread active about the new KRELL XD that are coming out. There was another thread that got deleted by the thought police. A shame for people looking to learn about new gear.I am considering the Krell XD 125 for my... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @gosta In my posts on this tread I have been going back and forth stating I need to get a stand mount or floor stander. The reason being when I started setting up the LS50’s in my office the sound was fatiguing. So I was under the impression that ... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @gosta My speakers in the last 10 years due to lack of space:1) AudioengineUSA 2 (maybe 5 years)2) Thiel SCS4 (2 years)3) KEF LS50 (3 years)4) Audience 1+1 V3 (9 months)I finally have some space and I will not buy another stand mount. Just sick an... | |

| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels The Treo were a little more mellow on the top end than the Vivid Kaya 90. I go into auditioning audio gear with the mindset of "one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain". I am looking for an emotional experience. I am not rea... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels The new less goofy looking one. They still look rather odd but there is an audio reason for that so I can live with it. They sound great but are very expensive.https://vividaudio.com/loud-speakers/kaya/I heard the Kaya 90 the same day I heard the ... |
