| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget ATC SCM40 (active or passive ). Fully sealed/ no rear ports to potentially cause resonant problems in room. I have em in my office, slightly larger than your room, and I love them. Prior used Harbeth C7esXD, SHL5 +XD, and a ton of other standmount... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Interesting experiences above by other members. Synergy is key, as always. When I first received my 761 it was paired with Opera Loudspeakers, Diva Callas (latest version). The Divas are interesting speakers. Very capable, excellent separation of ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I auditioned SCM40 active and passive. The active demo was controlled by ATC preamp. The passive was driven by North Moon 641/681 DAC ( this DAC was also the source for the active setup) I preferred the passive setup; I ended up purchasing the pa... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Sounds good, thanks for the response. I’ve always wanted to hear a Yggi. I have a lot of respect for Mike Moffat. I remember years ago saving money to get the Theta Pro Prime DAC and used that baby for years. Moved up the Theta chain and always lo... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps YYZ, did you side by side compare the 791 with Schitt and Holo or basing that off personal inference? At the risk of derailing this amplifier thread to talk digital for a minute: The 791 has more digital technology than just an ESS chip. There i... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Simaudio hit the ball out of the park with the 791/761 combo. If you are in the beginning stages you might want to consider going with the naturally synergistic 791 or 891 with whatever amp you choose. I think the 761 and 861 are very similar, on ... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps @kerrybh sorry for delayed response. Regarding my conclusion: it’s not a hard conclusion, more like a soft one, that is based on personal experience, accounts of other audio nuts, and guided intuition. The intuition part stems from the true dual ... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps @kerrybh My two cents: If your room is optimized acoustically, meaning optimal speaker / listening chair placement and (possibly) necessary acoustic treatment, like absorbers, diffusors, and bass traps you might benefit from the mono-block topolog... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps I have had the 761 stereo amp for several weeks now; I’m pairing it with the 791. It’s powering Opera Callas Diva speakers (also handmade in Italy). I can’t say enough about this amp. I love it. I don’t see how you could go wrong with the partneri... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection I was so impressed with the 641/681 demo that I ordered the 791/761. I’ve had a few moon amps before, the 860av2, 760a, 330a. Loving the north combo. They really nailed this recipe! I’ll share some more thoughts as the gear develops more. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq Nice post! I’m in agreement with you on Harbeth. Amazing speakers when setup with some care. They display truth and color in music and are capable of being highly emotionally engaging. I never quite understood the vitriol directed at Har... | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U @darkknight8586 If you trust the seller, that is a steal, but $1500 USD seems too good to be true. I’d proceed with caution. Money aside, the Callas 2014 are excellent and would be right at home with your musical genre and Luxman gear. I drove m... | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U I’ve been listening in my office/study/lounge for sometime now, after discovering that l prefer the performance there vs other larger rooms. The office dimensions are: 4.2m length x 3.8m width x 4.5m height (vaulted ceiling really helps with over... | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 Prior to the firmware update did the unit work as expected /pass a signal to the speakers? When you rotate the volume does the front display have the word “damped” ? | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 Are 100% sure you didn’t inadvertently change the attenuation ? This happened to me on a Hegel H190; There was no output, similar situation. It turned out to the that the volume was essentially scaled to zero. You have to look in the manual and f... |
