| speaker upgrade fever Harbeth is a great speaker, never heard the Pulsar. Just be careful the Harbeth's IMO don't want to be pushed too hard. I heard the basket clink a couple times. Devore makes great speakers too but get out and listen to them no substitute for that. | |
| SHIPPING speakers? I've shipped a ton of stuff. The one time I let UPS pack an amp it got smashed. It was a heavy class A integrated and they didn't protect it the way I would have, but like mentioned above, they made good on it. I can only imagine over time the ru... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? I went to a bar in Colorado and the sign read: liquor in the front poker in the rear. Point is we don't want to mess these things up. Well stated Thompson. | |
| SHIPPING speakers? Above craigslist, facebook marketplace could be good. TMR audio might buy them but won’t pay much. Heavy speakers really are a pain but normally worth it until you sell. | |
| Class A\B or D for summer months (vs Class A) Count the number and weight of old iron radiators needed to heat a house. I'd say your amp is a tiny fraction compared to any of them. You are better of putting that money into better insulation so your heating and cooling systems don't have to wo... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I had a pair of O/93's that made my ears ring. Tried 2 rooms and different amps and cables with no luck. It's a shame because I loved the sound and what they were capable of. 15 or so other pairs of speakers (including the same brand) and never ex... | |
| SHIPPING speakers? If UPS packs them expect them to be damaged. Make sure explain the value and how both speakers need to arrive undamaged. I've in the past shipped expensive speakers and it's risky. Drop the price, sell locally. Offer to drive them to the nearest ... | |
| Zu Audio Union 6 Supreme I could swear mine had better bass after a few weeks of play but they still sounded a little thin without the loudness button from both Luxman and Leben amp turned on. I'd allow them to play with some heavy bass material when you can. I really e... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? 1 watt should give you 96db near the speaker so should hardly be conversational at the level you are setting it. Something is off. | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? Sounds like an amp issue. Did you even control the volume from your dac or via Roon or something is turned way down (DSP)? The impedance curve is a range, like a set of stairs that the amp had to walk constantly. Nominal doesn’t mean much for a s... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? @bluethinker thanks for posting about the I-50. I owned a VSI-55 about 15 years ago and was wondering about the I-50. Does anyone know what's been done to "upgrade" this amp to the newest addition? I found the VSI a little cool, perhaps the Op ... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? I would always flip flop yearly or so between tubes and solid state. I finally came to the realization that I just listen more with tubes. Might not get some of the characteristics of SS that I enjoy but I don't think that perfect middle ground ex... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I drove mine with a few different amps, the Luxman M800 was probably the most solid with them. That was 60/120. The 590 was okay the 550AXII for low levels. You need to hear a few amps and align with your preferences and circumstances. I’ve had a ... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... It's almost like a Harbeth in the sense that it's not likely to offend you. That said, you don't want cheap power either, cause that will show. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I had the Parsifal Encore and they like to have some power 18wpc won't show you the potential of these speakers. You can also get something with a bit of bit as they are naturally pretty laid back. The Luxman rec is good but after owning Luxman a... |
