| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Why not buy a used Fidelio Encore instead of the Rienzi? I've been listening to Verity for years and find them to be one of the best speakers made. I owned the Tamino and found much joy in it, however I always took the pilgrimage to listen to the ... | |
| Is weight really mater? Gunbei, your dicktionary must be on the light side :0) I've had a few of those D amps and never held on to them. Good ones too. I wish they were better because my home heating system works fine on its own. I've always found class D to be a little ... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W Macallen7, I looked back at a couple of your previous posts and think you need to get out and listen some more. What speakers have you heard and what are your impressions?I don't think you will find the best answer here on your computer screen. Go... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W I don't listen to the kind of music you do however I think the Essence should be on your list. My concern and reason I sold them was with the lack of mid intimacy coupled with the ribbon being a little on the hard side.I do listen to Floyd and for... | |
| Purist aqueous vs Venustas IC IMO your CD player should cost at least four times that of your interconnects. It seems you might be heading in the other direction. Change the CDP, or look at other components too. What is the source of your discontent? | |
| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion Reynaud. Do some searches. I don't know about the NAD though. Maybe a lower powered Rega or a tube integrated.Good luck and keep posting. | |
| Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies I use a VAC Avatar SE with NOS Bugle Boy tubes. I'm very familiar with this amp and don't think it was the culprit. I also tried a little 10 watt or so Luxman tube integrated. I hesitate to say what I find engaging at the 3-5k price range because ... | |
| Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies I had the Zu Essence for while. They are very dynamic and can play all kinds of music including stuff like Pink Floyd with authority. I ultimately found that I was not engaged like I've been with other speakers. I like a speaker that can make musi... | |
| Art Dudley's Audio Note AN-E SPe He Speakers Good info on Audio Note on the Amherst Audio site. No affiliation. | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s Is this some sort of Zen koan? I'm just saying we will never hear the same. In these forums I think it is important to convey your personal experience to other members, again, as this is what a forum is.Agreement is less important than sparking a ... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s "There are a number of brands I don't care much for, yet I will rarely if ever even comment on them."That's kind of weak. What is a forum if you don't have some level of disagreement and challenge other thoughts? We don't all have the same ideals ... | |
| Zu Essence vs. any Emerald Physics CS series The Zu's are really good. I have not heard the Emerald. | |
| Best Integrated Under $3000 I've owned a few of the above and would rate the AX7e on top, 6300 second, luxman next, and last the Sim I5.Ayre is clean, clear, musical, powerful. A little thin if your speaker is thin.6300 warm, not as focused, good power and looks, a lower-end... | |
| Ayon spirit vs audio research vsi-60 I think you should buy them both and start another threat titled:The Austrian Hunk of Burning Love vs. the Minnesotan Monster, or something. It seems after posting so many threads on an amp you owe it to the community to conduct the shootout. ;) P... | |
| best Integrated amp under 4000$ VAC Avatar SE. I changed out the stock tubes with NOS Bugle Boy (don't remember specifics). Are you sure a tube amp can drive those speakers? 87db, do you know the impedance curve?Can you try to bring a couple of amps home for a few days? |
