| Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50 I’m not sure what was going on with the other setups but the Be-718 are formidable speakers that are well worth their praise. Some rear-ported Usher speakers can sound bloated if not properly placed as that 7" woofer can put out quite a bit of air... | |
| Upgrading B&W 685 S1 to ? Usher Mini X would fit your needs. | |
| Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin. Polk S15 or S20. The Signature series is actually very nice. | |
| McIntosh MC-2125 I had the MC2125 for a bit and paired it with my C32 with great results. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? As nonoise hit on, a digital cable still is just transmitting analog signals in pulses. Doubters seem to focus on the concept that a bit is a bit and it’s an irrelevant argument. The issue isn’t the data usually but the transmission of it. The sam... | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? You should have come over on Oct 20th and heard the Rosso Fiorentino Volterra Calvin. The little brother Fiesole went home with someone and the Volterra sold a week later. I've still got the Siena on demo.I know how much you like older Sonus Fab... | |
| Yagin: does anybody have any thoughts on Yagin? Never herd of them? The Yaqin hybrid amps were junk, but their all tube integrateds were and still are solid budget options for many. I've heard the CD player and seen a few as well and it gets pretty solid feedback as well. I'm not endorsing them but I haven't heard... | |
| Recommended Amps and preamps for Polk RTI A7s HELP!!! Hello daoki,B&K amps have been used with great results with the RTiA as well as the Parasound HCA series. I would suggest checking out the Polk Audio forum to get more input as many there have experience with the speakers. | |
| Need center channel recommendation If you cannot find the appropriate B&W center channel (should be priority #1), consider the Usher Be-616. It utilizes a diamond tweeter and while it is less edgy than the B&W version, it will give you a decent match. | |
| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? Hello rja,I am the Harbeth dealer in the Dallas area and can expound on this some. When it comes to their lineup, I view them as an extended family. You have the only child in the P3ESR. Then you have brothers in the 30.2 and 40.2, and yet anot... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? A system is like a sports team - you don't necessarily want the best players you can get, you want the best team. As you move up your game, finding the right pieces to give you the best synergy within a system can be a challenge. Perhaps you don'... | |
| Wireworld Im a Wireworld dealer as well but have not had the silver eclipse speaker cable yet. If it follows the improvements via the interconnects, you can expect a cleaner sound with improved high frequency extension. The soundstage would also blossom a b... | |
| ANT (Audiophiles of North Texas) Bump. Here is a rather complete list of gear. It may not all be hooked up, but if you are dying to hear something, we can make it happen. North Star - USB DAC 32, Intenso, Supremo, Venti, Blue Diamond CD Player, Blue Diamond Integrated AmpRosso... | |
| Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600. The Marantz HD-DAC1 is a nice full-featured DAC that you might be able to find used in your price range. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention than it does - I actually found it to perform slightly better than the SA-14s1 as a stand-alon... |
