| Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers I pulled the trigger on the M5 Sapphire based on all of the praise I've read about Spatial plus my conversations with Clayton. They have shipped this week and I should be receiving them any day. I'm really hoping they're everything that people say... | |
| Thinking of upgrading my Mytek Liberty DAC to? I think the Liberty is a decent DAC. Was just wondering if other's had a strong preference regarding the other DACs mentioned. | |
| Thinking of upgrading my Mytek Liberty DAC to? Hmmm...no other opinions? | |
| Interest in Ohm speakers I've been wanting a pair of 1000's for a long time but they never come up on the used market. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Where does one purcahse the Black Ice Audio? I only see a few on eBay and Jolida's website mentions nothing about dealers or purchasing options. Very strange. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? @helomech This thread is killing me! Now I really have to hear a set of Spatials. Anyone in the Philly area care to let me listen? | |
| Bookshelf Bake Off Have alook at the ELAC AS-61 Adante. The Kef LS50W are also a very popular choice. | |
| BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER @shawnmr2 I agree. David sounds like he is an "older" gentleman, and might not be too hip on the email technology. When I had a question I called and he picked up right away. | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce Also, sorry for the obvious suggestion, make sure you dont have the polarity reversed on your speaker cables. | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce I owned the 2ce Sig II for a couple years. I had my own issues with them, but soundstage and imaging was not one of them. They do this remarkably well IMO. I agree it could be a setup issue and recommend you call John Rutan per above. | |
| Options on Belles / Belles Aria? I have the Aria. It's a very well-built piece of gear. I find it to be a tad bright, but then again I have found that with a few SS amps. Unlike @twoleftears I replaced the Aria in favor of a Rogue Cronus Magnum III. Still have the Aria. Part of m... | |
| Kef R3s with Tube Amp? It's also a shame that you can't audition the R3 in person. Me personally, I would never base my decision from Youtube videos or even other people's opinions. like mine! Where do you live? | |
| Kef R3s with Tube Amp? William,I had a feeling it was the WAF swaying your decision away from floorstanders. My opinion? The R3’s image like nobody’s business. I don’t think you can go wrong with them. I would contact Kef, they are headquartered in Marlboro, NJ, and giv... | |
| Kef R3s with Tube Amp? Hi wcc10,I'm running the Kef R11's (90db sensitivity) with a Rogue Cronus Magnum III (100wpc) with great results. It's really a stunning combination. So much so that I've gotten off the "upgrade train." I'm just listening to the music now. My ques... | |
| Rogue Audio vs Vincent Audio +1 on the Rogue. You can't beat their customer service. They are always available over the phone. +3 on asking your local dealer for an in home demo. My dealer did that for me when I was trying to decide between the Rogue Pharaoh and Cronus Magnum... |
