New room needs new speakers, I need your help
Continued… from the front wall.   @toddcowles  I listened to the Harbeths HL5 when I bought my amplifier, they sounded gorgeous in the midrange but they became quickly congested with orchestral music( which doesn’t happen with the Euphonias). ... 
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
@bigtwin The ceiling is very low, only 7 feet. the treatment consists of bass traps in corners and a mix of diffusers and absorbing panels on all walls and ceiling. There’s a big sofa, rug and some velvety beanbags. So the room is not empty, but ... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
PMC MB2SE, if you can get a listen you won’t search further.      
Integrated suggestions
Accuphase E280   IMO nothing come close in this price range  Such a beautifully sounding integrated, and powerful enough for you    
Streamer upgrade - best path forward
Wattson Emerson Digital + good LPSU ( I use a plixir) is amazing for the money.  Will go toe to toe to any streamer around 10k mark. Lots of reviews online.  
Dac that has tone and timing?
Lampizator. Any lampi.   I tested mine against aqua la voce, holo may, bel canto dac, classe flagship dac , and nothing come even close. the tonal balance, the spatiality, the air, it’s just amazing, music feels alive, hard to describe. the on... 
Digital Dilemma
1 year ago I went through the same experience comparing a CD Player ( Nirvana Electronic Works) to my Lampizator DAC( fed by a long wireworld usb cable and macbookpro running Audirvana).   I was shocked, the streaming setup sounded nowhere as go... 
Hello Guys,
Plixir conditionners are the only one I heard that didn’t affect dynamic.   don’t know how much power you need so it might or might not be in your price range.   I use a plixir 400 to power my Router/Switch/Streamer/Dac and each components ben... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
This is an update regarding the Muon. It now has 100hours in, the sound just kept getting more natural. The digital glare is a thing of the past for good.   I just added a switch today, Bonn N8. Didn’t have the funds to go overboard with a supe...

Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
@charles1dad Yes the filter makes sense, but I meant it was counter intuive for me to spend so much for a filter. But I am glad I did!  I will report when I receive the switch.   Best    
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
I received my Muon system 3 days ago, it only has 20 hours burn in time, and I haven't put a switch yet between the router and the streamer, but wow!   Already, the sound is so much more natural. I was anxious it wouldn't do a big difference, it...

Amp for Vandersteen 2ci
I had the Signature 2ce and they were very power hungry, my Hegel H100 needed to be at 85/100 to achieve 80db. You need some power, 150w @ 8ohm that doubles at 4ohm would be my suggestion

Wattson Emerson Digital streamer would be perfect for you. I was looking for a simple solution as well, it is plug and play. Just plug it in your router and your Dac and load the application and you can stream directly from your Tidal( or other) a...
