| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) It wasn't until I decided to replace my original ProAc Tablettes about 8 years ago that I realized how many speaker manufacturers there are... way more than I imagined, and many are outstanding, with excellent and intriguing design skills behind t... | |
| Room placement for Lawrence Audio double bass speakers. K,Interesting. I think they are wonderful speakers. I replaced a pair of GamuT Phi 5 Mk ii with them... so another brand of speakers that almost no one has ever seen or heard.... I do wish they would put a bit of effort into getting a better publi... | |
| Room placement for Lawrence Audio double bass speakers. Hi Kenny,I'm not sure if there have been any responses to your question... perhaps not. I have the LA Violin SE's. I know there is a big difference btw the Violin and the Double Bass, and I would love to hear the DB's!But to your query; As the Vio... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? Wyred4Sound modded Sonos:CONNECT and Nordost purple flare power cord. The modded Sonos is a bit over or under $1,000.00 and the cord is another $75.00 or so.... depends on the sale. A bargain digital source, that I feel equals many more expensive ... | |

Solid state years ago, through a variety of tube gear (modded heathkits, modded Dynacos, Fischer, McIntosh) to Naim and finally to Devialet... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @samac I recently acquired a Nuprime IDA16 and I am very impressed with it. I am using it with Amphion Argon 1 speakers in my office. It is still improving, but I agree, it is a remarkable amp, and a remarkable bargain. I'm not thrilled with the r... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? 'Jaw-dropping' is asking a lot of any improvement, as others have said. However, I have found that all the cables can tune a system to a really valuable degree. I used some home-made copper cables for a while that were virtually identical to Wirew... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I've come to a Class D amp not through any intentional act, but purely though preference for the sound quality. I had tube gear for years, then moved to Naim for about 10 years. I was going to upgrade along the Naim chain until I heard Devialet. I... |
