| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Sorry. I meant the Volti Audio Razz. Rivals are even better but more than twice the cost.. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Check out Volti Audio Rivals. Not stand mount but relatively small foot print. Sound very good on all types of music & will play louder w/ ease then any other speaker mentioned. Hand built in TN by Greg Roberts using pro drivers in a beautiful... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I initially thought it was ridiculous question but after reading the responses, think it's actually an interesting topic. I have had several different systems over 40+ years, many of which were very good for their time & often involved large s... | |
| Question about speaker angle I meant say cell phone apps. Sorry | |
| Question about speaker angle There are a few good cell phones to measure speaker angle toe in. Just do a search to find them. Simple to use & accurate. Fstein, I curious what angle & distance from the floor did you find was most effective in driving your neighbor... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression It’s a global world & there a probably many examples of good & not so good ( at least in value) audio products from just about every country. Long term reliability & accompanying manufacturer support generally seems to be what separate... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation I’ve heard the Sonos Arc & really enjoyed it .I have the same TV - excellent!! If I didn’t already have a pretty solid surround sound system, I would go w/ it | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? I second Audioguy85. I use Border Payrol DAC & really enjoy it on a good system. You can return it if you don’t like it. Sometimes you don’t have to spend big $ to get what you want. Great small company owned & operated by Gary Dews.he’s ... | |
| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? Check out Volti Audio Rivals. Big, open, very dynamic with just a few good watts. A tad more than your budget for the basic model but a great value made in Tennessee by Greg Roberts. | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? I never knew any funny comments about the Dalqhuist DQ - 10's so I'll make one up - the speakers w/ the Don't Quit crossovers - so complex w/ many mediocre parts & drivers. I know they were amongst the first speakers to address the concepts of... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... When you listen to music & get lost in it, forgetting you're listening to reproduction equipment. That's what its all about...... | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers I have the Volti Audio Rivals in a large room (just over 5K cu. ft.) & they fill it easily at loud volumes w/ maybe 20 tube watt peaks. Sound very good & more like live music than most. They don't have the super extended, pristine high end... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? So Funny!!! I recall an audio salesperson in about 1980 in a nice store jokingly telling a potential customer who owned Big Ohm speakers (w/ original inverted cone Walsh drivers) that they need lots of power but can’t it so he had the perfect amp ... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I second the Border Patrol DAC & really like it. Sounds very natural, not all fatiguing & very similar to my good turntable. Reasonably priced & made in Maryland. | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC I’ve got a very different suggestion & that is the Border Patrol DAC designed & built by Gary Dews in Maryland. He designs & builds really good tube equipment albeit quite pricey. The fully optioned model is just under $2K & sounds... |
