| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Exemplar Horns driven entirely with Exemplar gear and cabling. Stillpoints throughout.I have yet to hear a setup I'd rather have. | |
| best preamps unlimited budget: Exemplar Exception SE Line | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Marek Hemmann | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Had a Meyer engineer bring a SIM over. He measured my horns and said he's never seen a phase response that good w/o DSP.They're Exemplar Horns. | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Horns require large space and proper placement. My tractrix horns image well enough that I get compliments on my (nonexistent) center channel. | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? @david_ten I don't really know how to describe it without sounding like the sort of religious zealot that people who advocate for these things are stereotyped as.Using general terms, I'd say detail and focus are most impacted. Things are more real... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? Stillpoints have made a positive impact in my system. | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? dynamics, weight, detail, clarity, speed...I've got massive horns in a room large enough for them.I couldn't be happier. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD If you’re in the $15k-$20k range, the best thing you’re going to find is an Exemplar Expo T205The catch is that the best sound comes from playing directly from a USB key using its own GUI (which i hate)It’s Roon ready, but if you want that to actu... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Horn hate is just sour grapes.A great horn system requires the space.It took me months to find my 21' x 37' listening room | |
| Opening a can of worms The better my system got, the more of a difference tweaks have made.Active shielding on vs off is a pronounced difference.Just getting my cables off the floor made a difference, too.Now I've fully 'tismed out, and my speaker cables only have 3 poi... | |
| I need a good Preamp I would recommend the Exemplar Audio WMTS XP-2.I have the single ended offering by them and absolutely love it.http://www.exemplaraudio.com/Products/Preamplifiers.html | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars at that price range you can get reference quality sound. The most immediate thing I noticed about your current speakers are the 90db sensitivity. If you're going to be spending that kind of money, there's no reason to not get significantly more e... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is @cdwallace3 Not quite. The primary factor (imo) is speaker efficiency.If you have 102db/1w speakers (as I do), then their sensitivity to upstream changes are huge.The more efficient your speakers, the more revealing they are.That said, you’re not ... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is 1) twisting makes a difference.2) the same twist tightness throughout the entire length of the cable is retarded. You want a tighter twist on one end than the other.3) the higher end your system is, the more these minor tweaks are audible. I've g... |
