| Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood brbrock: Yes, I use their equipment, and the gateway is a modem. You have to use their gateway if you have fiber. I don't know of any way to get around that. Apparently, you can piggy-back your stuff onto it but that gets into areas that are way a... | |
| Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood I've had AT&T fiber for years now. It is rock solid. Once they start in your neighborhood, things move pretty quickly. Depending on your service tier, the ultimate speed to your systems will depend on your gateway and interior wiring. I have g... | |
| The Disappearing Act As others have mentioned, some of the early stereo recordings from the 60's are particularly egregious. I listened to some Mommas and Pappas that were cringe worthy. Especially on headphones. Many songs start with sound from only one channel. Weir... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Maybe not of this year but the Wilson Alexia speakers that are featured in the emails from Audiogon look like industrial grade trash bins. The ones you see in front of many stores and feature the swinging flap doors. I can only imagine what the wi... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf I second the KEF R3, Meta version. Really nice speaker and well under your limit. | |
| Single Sub Position I was never able to get decent bass at my listening position. Added a second sub and problem was solved. | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre DACs and cables. The biggest black hole money pit in audio. This is a merry-go-round I stay away from. Sort of interesting to start to read a thread like this until it becomes so tedious that my eyes begin to cross. So many people think that you m... | |
| Active Wireless speaker, Dynaudio, Buchardt or Sonus Faber? you will get lots of personal opinions but without a budget, many will be of no use. | |
| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey Actually, I respectfully disagree with the bigger is always better. Good piece several years back in Consumer's Report about sizing a screen to your room and distance from screen. The primary thing I picked up about too big is that you can have di... | |
| Are You Old Enough to Remember Those Jaw-Dropping Manufacturer Demos? Although not jaw-dropping in a "trickery" sense, two things stand out in my mind. These both occurred in the late 70's or early 80's Those were the glory days when good stereo stores were plentiful in most metro areas. I was in Kansas City at the ... | |
| My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf +1 one on the KEF's. Close to your budget, might even consider the Blade two. If you go with the LS60, based on room size, you may not need a sub. If you do, The KC series look nice. I've not heard but it would stay with the "house" sound. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? How can there be such a thing as a speaker that is too accurate? The goal of high end audio is to present the music exactly as it was performed/recorded. Of course this is never achieved in reality. At the end, we all have our personal bias as to ... | |
| Yamaha RN-2000a debench: FWA, Emotiva is not class D. Plain old A/B. | |
| Yamaha RN-2000a This may be below the level that you operate in, but Emotiva makes a unit (TA2) that checks many boxes. It is an integrated amp with phono.DAC and FM tuner. 135/200 wpc into 8/4 ohms. Currently on sale for $899. I have no vested interest in them,... | |
