| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek How long does the audible improvement last and how much of the liquid did you drink to achieve the optimal effect?;-) | |
| KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2 Stick to the 107/2. The Uni-Q driver doesn’t sound integrated at all SPL levels with the bass - maybe they cross it over to low and it runs out of steam - don’t know but that is what I hear on the KEF R700.Anyway it is a strange beast. Normally a ... | |
| Benchmark Dac3 If you trust measurements then Benchmark is outstanding compared to anything else. If you trust ears then your taste is what matters and no amount of research can help as you need to audition....That said, I am definitely hearing the lower noise f... | |
| Benchmark Dac3 @gdhal It ultimately depends on your setup and what works for your amp and speakers. I compared both the DAC2 and Gustard to Audioresearch DAC 8. In the end it was too hard to pick a winner. The sound was excellent from all sources - not possible ... | |
| cost of speakers in relation to the rest of the system Dave,Some rare speakers have 6 drivers and some 114 components making up four crossovers - and all this driven by one amplifier on a single set of binding posts. If this worked so very well with no compromises with regard to energy or dynamics los... | |
| cost of speakers in relation to the rest of the system "the speaker<->room interface trumps all."110% agreedprof,Do you listen at loud rock levels? Thiels are amazing at moderate levels but they don't quite hang together when really pushed. Try ATC - it may float your boat if you are looking for... | |
| Dynaudio-Which one should I buy with around $5000. With Dynaudio I’d suggest Either stick to their small two ways (which they do better than most) like the Contour/Confidence old or new version. OR I think you are better off with another line of speakers for a good three way as the good three ways... | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? The resonant bass on these can be a bit of a challenge but of all the Wilsons this is probably the best behaved in the bass. The mid range is very nice and good driver integration - one of the few speakers I have heard that I like. Go for it! | |
| Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers. At a good used price for sure! It is an excellent speaker built with high quality Dynaudio parts. The design will play very loud without distortion - a very realistic presentation. The bass is too strong and resonant like most Wilson designs but t... | |
| Which amplifier (integrated) would you recommend for Monitor Audio PL speakers Not sure how you can fix the ribbon tweeter. Ribbons suffer from compression and distortion as you increase SPL. True to form for that style transducer, the ribbon appears to be severely distorting and compressing at modest levels.http://www.sound... | |
| Directionality of wire +1 Almarg...a voice of reason in an ocean of purveyors of fanciful misinformation | |
| cost of speakers in relation to the rest of the system +1 AlmargIf you want realistic sound levels then the speakers should be easily more than 50 - 80% of your investment.Speakers are one of the few items where diminishing returns does NOT come into play until you hit astronomical prices...this is be... | |
| Journey ending speakers Discovered ATC 23 years ago. Only upgraded to the bigger models over the years...absolutely no reason to change even though I keep hoping someone will make better speaker... | |
| Is Classe AUdio no longer??? LOLMy DAC and preamp is made in New York. My power amp and speakers are made in UK.Chinese manufacturing has a achieved a well deserved reputation!!! | |
| Directionality of wire @ivan_nosnibor I don’t deny truth. However, before attaching strong beliefs to unsubstantiated claims I require something more solid than conjecture. This is why man-made global warming remains a remote and infinitesimally small possibility to me... |
