| My last rodeo @tburdwin - you are correct. In my speakers search, in addition to audio shows I went to many high-end brink n mortar stores in the Bay Area and LA area - many storefronts. Likely the Seattle/Tacoma The Pacific Audio Fest may be the closest ... | |
| Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV? @atemoya - it’s not just the speaker, but the entire audio chain: Source>preamplifier>amplifier>speakers and cabling. Room conditions, how sounds are reflected/absorbed, is also important. | |
| My last rodeo Seems like the OP needs a new audio chain: server/streamer DAC preamp amp speakers cabling maybe power conditioning Decisions: tube vs SS Separates vs integrated (preamp+amp). Integrates saves on casework and cabling, but le... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? Are we really chasing a “squeak”? | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @ghdprentice - IIRC you’re curious about 300B amplification but have not yet explored, why not? Like the OP, get a used Volti and a 300B amp. Shouldn’t be too expensive relative to your current audio chain. Seems like loads of fun. You only liv... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed GoldenEar Triton Mofi SourcePoint | |
| Speaker change Hegel + Harbeth is a synergistic match. | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. In this case if the OP is seeking “Justification”, it’s a poor goal: What is the purpose of opening this thread? To blow off steam? To line up on your side? To try to embarrass/pressure the Agon moderator to get your way - an explanation? We do... | |
| Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows Shrek is the “I’m a believer” remake that easily stands out, I’d have to Wiki other versions. It’s fun going down memory lane. Anyone remember Saturday morning cartoons? | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Two individuals come to a price agreement, the buyer and seller exchange assets. What value does “outside observers” scrutinize the transaction for judgment of fairness? | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... whether one thinks it's reasonable or not. This is faulty thinking. “Reasonable” is purely a subjective opinion not based on facts. This is simple supply and demand - the market determines the resale value. Spending time and effort critici... | |
| Can I get my Prima Luna to sound more like a SET/300B? Not sure if the OP is looking for an amp or integrate, but I picked up a used Coincident Frankenstein 300b mono blocks - high-value sold direct with plenty of very positive reviews from a long established company. | |
| Amplifier Paradox…and more! @clio09 I always select the amplifier first and then the speaker I’m a speaker first, then amp. | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I don’t get too hung up on components outside of my budget, dwelling on it only leads to misery. Already spend plenty of effort trying to determine components within budget. | |
| Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows I recall a time when sunshine, lollipops and rainbows seemed to be a 'real' possibility. Hippies/counterculture with their illusion/delusions Might have been the LSD… |
