Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk @mijostyn - We are so sorry that you constantly have to hear about a horrible injustice that gets people mistreated and killed daily, around the world, and creates huge divides between people.... Hey, it’s not about you, and how you feel. Think ab... | |
Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. What amp/preamp are you using, and what cabling? | |
Best skiinny floorstanders While I have not heard them, I might also suggest the KEF Blade 2, used. I have owned the original LS50s and currently use the Metas in my stereo rig. The uni-q driver excels at horizontal / vertical dispersion and driver integration, which transl... | |
Best skiinny floorstanders @cakyol - I haven't heard the floorstanders, but I had the GoldenEar BRX bookshelves for awhile. They have a ... distinct sound. Very beautiful highs, but I think their sound is polarizing in that you'll probably fall in love or want something els... | |
Best skiinny floorstanders I agree with the question asked - why are you wanting to move to "boxes" ? What are you trying to achieve sonically? Also, what tube amp do you have? | |
Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk @nhb1 One thing I did not read was your budget for the rest of your system. | |
Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) I am not going to hide the fact that this suggestion is blatantly self-serving, but I would actually make the same recommendation regardless. I am currently selling a pair of PS Audio M700 Monoblock amps here on Audiogon. They are high-end amps di... | |
Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More Yeah, enjoy! | |
enough amplifier power OP, what is your question? | |
Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More Sounds good, and I hope they work well for you. | |
To Roon or not to Roon? Another +1 for Roon. Do you need it? Are you trying to solve a problem? Increase SQ? Get a better UI? Only you can answer those questions. But, if you're asking if Roon is good software, then yes. It's the best music library software I've tried by... | |
Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More My final thought - happy hunting! Let us know what you get... | |
Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More @blainer55 - Although an interesting suggestion, not really in the scope of the OP's request. I will comment, however. The Metas will work well nearfield or in a large room, as @yyzsantabarbara mentioned. | |
Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More OP - Want to chime in for the KEFs. I own a pair of KEF LS50 Metas, and although I have not heard your current Q100s, I had the original LS50s previously. The Metas are an amazing speaker, not just for the imaging, and are a worthwhile upgrade for... | |
Speaker Suggestions/Opinions @brylandgoodman - I understand the aversion to "sterile." I tried the Benchmark LA4 preamp, and hated it. However, I find the KEFs to be very transparent, stepping out of the way, revealing the signature of your front end gear. I asked if you'd he... |
