| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? I've always understood that the analog recordings on vinyl and tape are 100% of the signal, subject only to the limitiations in quality of the recording equipment, mastering, and pressing of the recordings. While digital recordings are only a sam... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho @russbuttonIf you really want value, build yourself a set of Linkwitz LX521 or Linkwitz Orions.You are so right! I have the Orion's and they will compare favorably to virtually all other speakers, as will the LX521's. Though, I'd still prefer ... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Though... I would like these... I’ve got the Orion’s, which sound similar... and just way too many others, as well.But... here’s my choice - will rival any of those mentioned:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis93fh6-linkwitz-lab-lx521-with-asp-4... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @nathansaudio and mtrot... Stop It! If you guys don’t cut it out... I’m gonna order a pair of the Aeris.I’m weak... I’m weak! | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Legacy Audio Aeris and Legacy Audio Focus SE would be at the top of the list. | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @mayoradamwest… you are so right... any such discussion should begin with the criteria one values most in their sound reproduction. For me… that is… the utmost in transparency, detail resolution, clarity, soundstage, imaging, and the tone, tenor, ... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 If I were going to invest that much... the only speakers I would consider would be the Legacy Audio Aeris (nothing else compares). But... of those... only the Sopra 3. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre Nothing really comes close to the Legacy Calibre or Aeris... I would have the Aeris... if I had a stronger back... but the Calibre is close enough... and much easier to manage. | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR +1 more for the Legacy Audio Focus SE.Nothing else mentioned comes close. | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 Legacy Focus SE... definitely! They sound very close to the Aeris, which is pretty well the best sound available at any price.No contest. | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts "There is a mint pair for sale currently in UK for just under 10,000 GBP." Shadorne - is this the link to those ATC 150's for sale in the UK?https://www.hifi-forsale.co.uk/moreinfo.php?prod_title=ATC_SCM_150_ASL_Active_speakers_in_Rosewood&a...= | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts If you’re after utmost accuracy to a live piano... you should consider the ATC’s mentioned above. There is a reason all the pro sound engineers use those speakers in their mastering.That’s not to say, several others won’t sound great... but... if ... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? Have to agree on the Class D amp suggestion. I've got a Class D Audio (brand) SDS-470C and for $700 you get a great amp that sounds virtually as good as any of the others mentioned above. Truly remarkable amplifiers - giant killer.And... they're... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? No doubt Pass Labs would be great... but... I don’t know where you’ll find one in your price range. And... if you do... it’s going to be ready for refurb (cap replacements, etc.). So... the next best alternative, which will not require refurb is t... | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! The Townshend Supertweeters improve and expand the soundstage and imaging and add a realism to the sound. I use them to complement all my speakers. They add a subtle, but impressive improvement to the sound. |
