| Audioquest or Kimber kable. Kimber 8PR does everything I need it to. Neutral and balanced. Big bass sounds like big bass. Clear midrange sounds like clear midrange. Delicate airy highs sound like delicate airy highs. No negatives. | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Yamaha A-S501 or a deal on a used 801. Scary good for the $$ | |
| Problem with Rogue Medusa Amp (I need advice) sounds like a gain miss match between your preamp and the medusa.i just read online about people with your preamp having difficulties with edgy sound because of the very high gain of the mfa magus. if you cant adjust the gain there are inline gain... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? @markj941,good sum summary. i just added two REL t9i to my system and am very happy with the sound. they integrate very well with my large british monitors compared to two other sub brands i tried. an important considesrtion is distance from wal... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ once again, try the grilles off of your harbeths if you have not. totally different sound, dynamics, top end and transparency open up quite well. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+ vs. Focal Kanta No.2 not a fan . they can often be fatiguing depending on recording. i have found that speakers have a sliding scale that balances perceived excitement that comes at a price of less percentage of recordings that sound good. this for me revealed itself ... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? Let me give you a practical example-In my 2-channel setup I basically have only two small areas where my left and right subwoofers will fit- so positional flexibility is very limited.I recently measured the response of each sub during my integrati... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ another thought, the D7s were less forgiving on bright, harsh or difficult recordings making them tough to take. Harbeth runs the fine line between detail and forgiving like no other speakers I have heard. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ FYI the SHL5+ as well as other Harbeth models (including the larger M 40.2) sound best when treated like nearfield monitors, e.g. an equilateral triangle arrangement. sounds more detailed and focused and yields the largest sound stage. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ @routeman21 be careful straying from harbeth, they can get their hooks in you ! i went to spendor after my first harbeths, the c73s3 and eventually came back. both my harbs took at least 250 hrs for the sound to plateau. before i forget- grille... | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I also refuse to have a screen between my speakers. I do use GIK diffusers and have 4 of them behind and between the speakers. Sound stage is incredible.Occasionally I do watch TV off to the side as a visual background to music. Ideally I would ... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ I currently own the SHL5+ and owned the Spendor D7 previously. I ran each with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and now Rogue Audio tube preamp and tube power amp. The D7s are excellent speakers and easy to place with great imaging and excellent dee... | |
| Replace a Rogue Tempest with Cayin CS845A, Ayon Triton 2, Unison Research, or Mastersound? I believe your speakers will sound best with a solid state amplifier. I suggest a Yamaha A-S1200 | |
| Keeping it Simple - An Integrated Amp for Golden Ear Triton One.R Speakers @georgehifi the OP does not need much current because the Triton woofers are actively amplified. he just needs to drive the midrange and tweeters at 100hz and up. perfect opportunity for a quality tube amp. | |
| Keeping it Simple - An Integrated Amp for Golden Ear Triton One.R Speakers Since the woofer section of the 1Rs is powered by the internal amplifier, your new amplifier will have an easy time driving two mids and a tweeter at 100Hz and up. As such you can easily use a refined, musical, sweet sounding tube integrated and s... |
