| Weak link +1 for Bacch4Mac, but Edgar (the inventor) will tell you that you absolutely need to treat the first reflection points. Best of luck. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @OP - You might want to give some thought to an alternative option, namely Theoretica's Bacch4Mac sound processing system. It is The Absolute Sound 's 2024 product of the year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xq48klNJ8i0 Here is Steve Guttenberg'... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move OP - I'd like to respectfully suggest that before you traded in your Klipsch speakers you consider another solution for your desired "scale in presentation." I have had the Theoretica Bacch4Mac application for spacial realism and the Bacch ORC fo... | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? At Axpona '23 and '24 the larger floor-standing Tannoy's were stand-outs. I could have listened to them all day. Best of luck. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp I had Ric Schultz mod my GaN1 and it sounds terrific, but if I had to sell it I wouldn't recover any of the $500 the mod cost. It's a risk. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Sorry, my confusion. It's Doug Sterling who is retiring and shutting down Stirling Broadcasting, not Derek Hughes. Thanks for the correction. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @grislybutter Jeff said to email or call him and he would see if Stirling can send another pair of LS3/6. Google Jeff Stake HiFi in Bloomington, IN | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Oh, the Bacch system is very interesting. Using it in a suboptimal room now, but with well-recorded tracks the effects are terrific. Imaging and soundstage are taken to a new level. To give just one example, in Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, ... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @yogiboy The Quicksilver amps look great, and reasonably priced. Funny you should mention the Van Alstine SET amps as I had my eye on them for awhile. Will check out both. @grislybutter I will ask Jeff if he can get another pair Thanks to ever... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 @yogiboy The reason for looking for a new power amp is that I've implemented the Bacch4Mac system. Edgar recommended that I not use the Gan1 even though I upgraded the RME interface to enable a coax out. Long story. Suffice it to say, I need an... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 I am very impressed pairing my modded Peachtree Gan1 with my Spendor SP3/5R2 speakers, so I thought I'd stay with the Gan or newer class D amps - but I'm open to tubes. Any recommendations? Budget is only about $2000, though. Used is fine. | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 They really appear ideal for me. I told Jeff I'll take them. Many thanks for the comments. | |
| Give Up on Bacch? @khragon I ultimately decided to go all in and not only kept the Bacch4Mac but upgraded to the RME Fireface. That will necessitate buying a new power amp and moving my 2-channel to a different room. At present I'm working with GIK on treating t... | |
| Great Interview- In an attempt to educate our ears, my wife and I have been going to live events and, recently, "music bars." We have been quite disappointed. At the jazz clubs we've been to the musicians invariably use amps of miserable quality, even when they... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? Apologies to the OP if this post takes the thread astray, but I am in a similar situation. Currently have Spendor SP3/5r2 in a small room, running them with a modded Gan1. I will be setting up a slightly larger room tthis summer and want to st... |
