| REL G1 Subwoofer Problems It looks like someone is asking a new question on the old thread. | |
| Parasound vs Coda You don't have a long way to learn about tubes. Aquire a tube amp soon and save yourself time. You will either pursue that amplification on or not. Go big with the Focals or think about a speaker change. | |
| The Stereo Times Coda S5.5 amplifier just posted today. Thanks guys It seems like the Coda gear is to amps is what Harbeth is to speakers, plus bass. My CSIB was very detailed and easy to listen to, did nothing wrong. I just always prefer tubes over time. Nice pitch for Stereo Times and Coda. | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? @Soix, it reminds me of all the Woods Hole Scientists that designed their own homes built in the 70's. Today you just scratch your head and ask why. | |
| Starting my showroom again The model that seems to work is a retired guy with some bucks and a passion to have gear around. Write off a portion of the house, be able to buy larger lots and sell off the dogs as "demos". Use the internet to meet audiophiles, cross dealership ... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse It's an old speaker. You can likely do better but if you like the signature of the speaker you will be okay. If you are unsure you got a heavy casket on your hands. You're going to need a good amount of clean power to drive them too. Good luck! | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? @davegh I'd agree with your assessment. At times when listening to music that demanded a certain level of grunge or not "pretty" as used above they struggled. It depends what you are after but for a $6k you can do better. | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A The one thing I like about the Rel is that you can potentially hook it up and use it as support when watching movies. Is this an option with the SVS 16? Does this mean finding s radio shack to rig some connection? I should add that I just have a ... | |
| No Private Messages for Me I think they make money from the advertising on the forums. | |
| Recommended amplification Dynamics, size of stage and image can be sacrificed. It can be hard to know unless you try higher power. Simple example I had a pair of Harbeth's with a 12 watt tube amp. Sounded great but really came alive with 80 watts or more. Missed that tube... | |
| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s I had a pair for a pair Harbeth's. Never put anything in them but did see this from Skylan about wood pellets: https://www.skylanstands.com/info.html | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be I bought a pair of dealer owned Forte speakers and enjoyed them for 6 months. They're a little more hifi IMO than the Cornwall but not quite as fun. I wouldn't ship these the boxes are not rated for multiple use and the speakers are not terribly s... | |
| REL S510 or S812 Reason would say this line has been out for about 4-5 years. Are they clearing the inventory for a new launch? | |
| REL S510 or S812 Yes! Thanks for the reply. I somewhat jokingly write these things but there is an undercurrent to music, almost at the atmospheric level, that is great to connect to. I had a pair of Verity Parsifal Anniversary that held this space well. It really... | |
| REL S510 or S812 SVS is sealed. Great sub. Leaning toward the 812 at least I’d say. |
