| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges +1 on Soundsmith. Not a MM in the traditional sense, but not a MC either. I’m very happy with my Carmen II. | |
| 15 in full range drivers czarivey 5,489 posts 01-06-2024 at 06:17pm Not really @ozzy62 I hate increased upper mids and all 300b or 2A3 amps are notorious for that. In fact all they amplify is 1000 Hz. The rest is not so much. Ridiculous….. | |
| 15 in full range drivers Just a FYI. When a speaker is considered bright or fatiguing, it is hardly ever high frequencies that are the culprit. More often than not it is the upper midrange. @czarivey Pretty stupid statement. My 300B amp sees a regular diet of metal, ha... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I'm shocked that you guys with difficult to drive speakers and low gain/low input impedance amps find an active preamp to sound better. Shocked, I say! | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? I have no doubt that the Volti speakers are great performers. I have not heard them, but I dealt with Greg Roberts a few years ago when I bought his xovers for a pair of Khorns. He's a great guy to deal with and knows his stuff. I bet his speakers... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Look at Klipsch Forte III or Forte IV. Both can be found on the used market from time to time. | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Curious how people would react to the assertion, "Klipsch speakers need a more careful pairing than other similar speakers." That would be helpful, possibly, as a data point. @hilde45 I do think one needs to pay more attention to supporting g... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @ozzy The LEEDH processor in the Lumin streamers is indeed fine sounding. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I am using a preamp, but it's a Hattor Audio passive device. I haven't heard any active preamp in my system (up to about 8K) that could beat a well designed passive. Not all systems will perform optimally without a preamp. But when it comes togeth... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? I have had the gamut of speakers including magnepan, von schweikert, Wilson, and a host of others. Around 2013 a friend of mine brought over an early pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers. Like a crack dealer on the corner, he got me hooked. I immediat... | |
| Zesto Andros 1.2 Thanks for all the comments so far. | |
| Zesto Andros 1.2 Just don't go by cost as a measure of performance. Yeah, ah, no. That's not what I'm doing. But most of the time, allowances have to be made for a certain price point. That said, when the dust settles I may prefer the SPL. There are no guaran... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. DNA 2.0 Deluxe I agree with @soix on this one. But here's my take on the DNA 2. Years ago I had a pair of DNA 1 Deluxe monoblocks driving some magnepans. On a whim I bought a DNA 2 thinking it might be better. Compared to the monos, it was rolled off on the ... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers Ok pindac. that’s A Good idea. Let’s keep It On topic. 🙄 | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers It makes about as much sense as a person randomly capitalizing words. Which is to say neither makes much sense. I guess it’s a mystery for the ages. |
