@devinplombier I plan to have some wireless speakers for the shop I can stream to. As it stands, my wife graciously accepts my hi-fi and music collection to inhabit the house. for now. Which is why I want a little place for my stuff that my kids won't mess with and the wife won't complain about having to look at!

@grislybutter I was also thinking about some Monitor Audio Silver 300 5Gs but the Vandersteens have been on my list for a while. I just don't have the proper space or setup to do them justice yet which is why I haven't pulled the trigger. Yes the Billie Mk3 certainly went up in price. I would hazard a guess that's due to elevating the features and components including the modular design and being made in Canada carries some price premium for sure. The tariffs won't help in the matter, but hey, you get free shipping according to their website! Aside from the increase in power, I've read the component upgrades and internal design on the H190 are marked improvements giving a "cleaner" Hegel sound. If I were staying with bookshelf speakers and a small room setup, the H90 or H120 would be my choice. |
@devinplombier I could go with an old English gentleman's club theme complete with a snooker table and one of those large globes showing the extent of the British empire that holds a secret liquor bar inside. And *waves hand* over here is my all-tube setup. We'll sit by the warm glow of the tubes and enjoy this box set I just picked up. |
I don’t think Chuck’s best use of time and skills is grocery shopping but we all gotta adopt in this big changing world. @bipod72 I would think Hegel has synergy with Dynaudio and the Billie with the Vandies. I know nothing about amp design but the Billie has so many functions for a one man show that I have a hard time believing that it can compete with products made by 100s of years of combined experience and 10s of patents. My third preference would be Simaudio. Sweet dreams :) |
