| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers It is surprising what the right amp can do with just 1-2 watts. I still recommend the try before you buy scenario. | |
| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers I had the parasound A 21 250/425 and also the Hegel H360 that has similar power ratings, but is more neutral than the A 21 yet both didn't have enough to get the bass the salon 2 are renowned for. Also, if I tried to drive the speakers to 90+ db l... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? sometimes there's music I don't really like that has a single I love, but usually I listen to complete titles. | |
| Revel Performa3 F208 question I'd look for speakers with higher sensitivity and probably more bass. | |
| Best Covers Am I the only one who loved Manfred Manns earth bands two covers of Bruce Springsteen? Blinded by the light Spirits in the night and while you’re in the way back machine roll ‘For you’ also. | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... moving to Mac, the Mc611's and c49 took my speakers to another level (or 3) without changing speakers. If you have the freedom to try a different wall, say going from the short to long wall and pull speakers 3-5' from all boundarys also. For the f... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? Like roxy1927 said, buy used so u can demo at home. For larger rooms the Usher Be 20 DMD is fantastic, legacy Meridian DSP 8000’s, for average size rooms D&D comes in first. Dali Epicon 8, retail $25k used $11k. Haven’t heard the NS5000 but tr... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I only heard a used pair of affordable maggies in a little 10x10' room at a local dealer, but for the $600 he was asking I was impressed! The kind of magic those speakers were making is generally reserved for the $10k and up club. | |
| Use escrow service to pay for speakers? As a seller I won't ship without the money to a private party and as a buyer I only shop in an area I'm willing to drive to. Consider paypal fees and shipping costs and it's often just as cheap as working with a local shop. | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. i have a pair made in 2020, so originals. Mine are powered by a c49 and pair of Mc611's and I don't hear any reason to change. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I would love to demo a pair of Tekton speakers. I don’t know anything about the science of speakers, xover slopes, time alignment or any of that stuff manufacturers load their marketing pitch with, but I do know markup on speakers can be insanely ... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW Very nice, if you have room for them. | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? I really got my money’s worth from the first 5 releases. | |

| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. I have the Kef Blades at home and listening to the Epikore 11’s, both speakers driven with quality Mac components. I found the Dali’s to have better mid-upper bass that filled out the mids and richened up the sound a bit. The bass is full and arti... |
