| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? Go with horns my dude. You can go with Avant garde, or ALE if you want to break the bank. You could go full mad lad and build it out of original Western Electric drivers if you want a bit of a vintage sound. I personally own Goto's which are a lot... | |
| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed That's why god invented headphones. | |
| Recommendation on power amp I'mma just highjack this thread for my own question:I have a 1980s class A solid state amp by Technics (SE-A3). I haven't spent the money getting it checked out yet so I haven't heard it. Can anyone give me a guess of how it will sound? | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? with CRISPR-CAS9 and what not, they'll have hopefully cured aging before I die. I think if I end up living to 1000 that I would still get a kick out of listening to my system (assuming it lasts that long). By that point it would be more of a relic... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. @cd318If only there was some way to make audiophiles look cool and sexyDon’t worry, I’m on it. | |
| Any avantgarde acoustic owners? @acresverde Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still in the component buying phase of things. I'm going to start setting everything up in about a year in Virginia. If you're ever in that neck of the woods I'd be happy to have you over. I'm a bit of... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. So what's the general consensus on the Schiit Yggdrasil these days? Any recommendations in a similar price? | |
| Any avantgarde acoustic owners? @acresverde Thanks for taking the time to write all that. I'm setting up a horn based system around some Gotos. I need to hear stories like yours to stay motivated. | |
| What area or country do you live in ? I'm in the Navy. At the moment I'm based in Japan. Japan has these interesting stores called "hard-off" which always seem to have rare and esoteric hi-fi equipment. I got a Technics SE-A3 amplifier and 3 way set of Goto Unit horn drivers for very ... | |
| Goto Unit @audiokinesis Thanks Duke. I'll definitly consider taking John on for help. I probably won't be in a position to start putting everything together for a year or so though. Here's the story, I'm in the US Navy and stationed in Japan. I've been want... | |
| Goto Unit @johnk I have sg505 DX drivers that go down to 200 hz. I'd rather not go with a horn for sub duty though since I don't want this rig to take up the whole room. Any suggestions for a sub driver? | |
| Goto Unit Hey johnk,You’re right, this is kind of a new hobby for me. I think I have a fair idea of how to go about it though. It will be a passive system so for time alignment I was just going to position the horns at the same plane. I was going to have th... | |
| Goto Unit Thanks Roxy. I've seen a little bit about them here and there as well but it seems like most people haven't even heard OF them let alone actually heard them. It's fun to mess around with rare esoteric stuff but I guess the lack of people to talk t... |
