| Crossing Left and Right Speakers Ok, you guys had me questioning what I thought I had heard recently on this Chesky recording for Audiogon. Keep in mind when I heard this I was not listening for anything. I just noticed something sounded wrong, figured out what it was, and swit... | |
| Crossing Left and Right Speakers I just experienced this the other day. I have a recording for Audiogon made by the Chesky label (available from HD tracks) that has some really good imaging effects. On the St Louis Blues cut, there are numerous instruments that appear either to... | |
| Pro/Studio Subwoofers Only 137 db max SPL ?! Good info all, thanks. Remember the one in the beginning of the Back to the future movie? I had a VMPS larger sub once upon a time, looked like a small cedar chest-sized box with I believe dual 15 and 12 inch drivers. Th... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Thanks for taking the time to share all this info for posterity and being willing to answer all the inevitable questions that will come ! Have you had a standard streamer to test them with or have your tried a bunch of those also? | |
| Finding a Power Amplifier for Luxman C-900U Nice system. I had the A3s with the Luxman C900/M900 combo. I had also tried these speakers with Primaluna monoblocks running 150 w/ch as well as a Rowland Continuum 2 (class D amplifier). The Primaluna did not drive these speakers to my satisf... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio Sorry if I missed it but did you ever comment on the upgrades (V2) using the newer ESS chipset of the Weiss 501/2? The 4 channel topology has me scratching my head as to what one would use this for, and pictures I have seen only have... | |
| Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss! I’ve had several speakers with Primaluna gear, to include Tannoy, Magico, Harbeth, YG acoustics, Revel, and Focal. The best synergy has been with the Focal Kanta range. These easily open up with a little power. The Kanta 2 used might be a little m... | |
| Pairing Bryston 28b3 with tubes I also have the 2.5B cubed but paired with a Primaluna Evo400. I greatly prefer this pairing than that with the amp and a Bryston preamp. It’s a great preamp and reasonably priced. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? I had a pair in a 14 by 21 foot room, firing the length of the room. First thing to consider, these are very big speakers. They will dominate your room. Second, as mentioned they need to be away from the walls. If you can get them 4-6 feet out... | |
| Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000 One DAC in your price range you won’t hear much about but I found very good for the money and similar to some of my pricier DACs was the line magnetic DAC (they make only one model). It has one 12ax7 tube in it which I found responsive and with p... | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC I think results are very system dependent. That said, in my system I found the AQ cables (tried the tornado and hurricane) on my Luxman M900 amp to be bass heavy, a “from the ground up” cable that was a little muddy sounding overall. I did not l... | |
| Question for Weiss Dac 501 Owners I did not respond to this thread back in July, had just moved homes. In my last home, I had a pretty symmetrical room, and found the DSP function not all that necessary, and perhaps a slight sound quality hit when activating them. My new room is... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k Don’t forget the Lumin U1 as opposed to the X1; Save money if you are using an external DAC. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Philosophical question: if a YT video plays two speakers, rotating between the two with the same system and room and recording, say for example a small book shelf speaker and a large floor stander, can you hear differences? If so, are they real? ... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for Harbeth 30.1 The music room has a Bryston B135sst for under $4k. The Stereophile review of this unit extolled the virtues of the combo with your speakers. I have the same separates in my room currently with 30.2s as well as a Luxman 590. If I had to choose ... |
