| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems I had the LS-27, loved it. But as I upgraded other components, I noticed that the soundstage did not have the depth. I upgraded to the REF 6 which produced the results I wanted. I am running Wilson MAXX speakers and Rowland SS amps. I just replace... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam I have never tried the ARCAM, but I have had 4 different ANTHEMS - Sound MUCH better than Denon (which I had), Marantz (which I have had), Onkyo (which I have had - sounds better than Denon or Marantz in my opinion) BUT: My 1120 the volume got ju... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @rsf507 It wasn’t that the Acora speakers were deficient, the model I heard only had one driver, they did not have the model with two drivers. Even the one with the single driver blew me away. Definitely WAY better than Magico or Rockports that we... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Thought all that were on this thread might want to know what I landed on. I would like to thank all the kind folks for their input. I tried to listen to anything I could find (that did not have insane restrictions). I listened to many of the su... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? Hey, quit bashing on MQA. I think we can all agree it sounds better than: MP3, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Prime Music, AM Radio in your car and a Bose speaker covered with a black garbage bag. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing @audio_bidder I have the Rowland Model 7's - but I am looking for the 625s2 if I can find one used. I spoke with someone who sold one and he went with the new Rowland 725 Monos which he said were slightly better than the 625s2. Maybe you have a ... | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing I have the Sasha 1's. It is easier to say what I have tried which does NOT drive them. PS Audio, Classe, Hafler do NOT drive the bass driver which can dip down to below 2 ohms. I purchased a used set of Rowland monoblocks and WOW!. They came a... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @keithr WBF? Might you have a link kind sir? The people on the site have given me some names to go check out / some I have eliminated / some I have not paid attention to / some I want to find still. At this point, if money was not object - I ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @soix The Joseph Audio Pearls are calling your name. So I have been looking for their distributors - here is their website which has not been updated in almost 4 years. No phone number, no address. (I especially like there is a picture of a lan... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? UPDATE 1: Ruled out speakers: I have auditioned the Magico A5 and The Rockport Atria II. Here are my impressions, the Magico sounded like the speakers were boxed in. Like the sound was coming from the speakers - just no soundstage. I thought ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Thank you all for your suggestions. Going to take some time to find these speakers. I have ruled out the snail-looking speakers just because I don't like the look. I got a few people talking about Monitor Audio - that will be my first one to au... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @ronboco How did the FR30's sound? Did you buy them? If not, why? I can't answer why PS Audio requires "proof of booster", but that is what Chris said over the phone less than a week ago. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @misstl I had a salesman once tell me that the good thing about avanteguarde is that whatever song is played sounds great. I listened to the Wilson Master WAMM Chromosonics a couple months ago - and I wanted to play a favorite Dylan song, so they... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @emaillists I was also pretty excited about the FR30 - just not excited that they force me to get a booster to hear their speaker - especially since my doc advised against getting the booster - I actually want to sell my direct stream and be done ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Thank you for the suggestions Soix and Tomic - I never considered JBL because i thought it was old tech and not very resolving - kind of like Klipsch - but I will go check it out. I got a private email from a gentleman who sold his Sasha 1's beca... |
