| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Be careful. You get what you pay for. A deal is offered because neither of these speakers are good quality (if you talk SOTA) but rather offer big margins for dealers.Measurements of Sopra 2 at Soundstage are terriblehttps://www.soundstagenetwork.... | |
| ATC SCM19A or SCM40 (passive) Not sure about your question. The 3 inch soft dome is a characteristic of all ATC models above the 19 or 20. In the 19 or 20 the soft dome is simply part of a larger woofer. It still has a 3 inch voice coil behind the dome but they don’t need a do... | |
| Wilson Audio upgrade path Alexa 2 is great! Not as balanced. | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? +1 DavidI like a lean precise detailed neutral DAC and then pair it with a seeet sounding tube preamp. YMMV but I seem to get the best of both worlds - accuracy detail but with warmth and musicality | |
| Wilson Audio upgrade path Wilson Sasha 2 remains my favourite Wilson but the Alexia 2 is very good. | |
| Have l become unstable? @buellrider97 +1 ATC. Supertramp. Pink Floyd. The Police. AC/DC. Mark Knopfler. Jethro Tull. More recently The Killers, Diana Krall, Jack White, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty.... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? ATC SCM 19 fits the bill. It won’t overemphasize anything including the highs and the mid range will be nicely in balance with the bass | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross Great you have pics! Thx to post a few. A pic is worth more than 1000 words and you are well over 10000+ words on this website. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Any pics of WC setup? I am starting to have trouble believing this thread. Nobody buys Vivid G1 and then unloads them in less than a week or at least nobody with sanity. Along with all the other changes since 2015 it just seems too crazy to be cre... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross Yup. Just as I stated. Vivid are like Nautilus but with a lot more bass - too much bass by your account and actually no surprise to me.The Focal Sopra 3 is a step backwards from Wilson Sasha 2...the waterfall plot says it all - unwa... | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts @exron May be wrong but I happen to agree as I hear issues with these drivers. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @techno_dude It is too hard to do concentric speakers with multiple drivers as well as individual drivers each perfectly designed for their frequency range - too many compromises. However, a large multi-driver speaker won’t sound integrated from... | |
| Have l become unstable? ATC are extremely natural sounding and sound much like live music. You will however lose some typical “hi-fi” treble and bass emphasis as ATC are voiced very neutral (unlike most designs). Relatively speaking this means the mid range is more forwa... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross Much of the design philosophy of Vivid comes from B&W(Lawrence Dickie)https://goo.gl/images/gbnFxPThey are are not the same speaker but share almost the same design platform (driver size, crossover and cabinet structure). I woul... | |
| the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame BTO needs to go in before Guess Who.BTO were incredible. Randy was a great guitarist and songwriter. Turner’s bass lines and vocals carried so much gravitas there simply hasn’t been anything as heavy since. https://youtu.be/uW3nQqZLiwcRush are now... |
