| System forclassical music Very helpful comments. Many thanks. By the way, the little demo I gave my friends was on Wharfedale Jade 3's and an SVS sub, driven by a Cambridge CXA-81 (using the CXA's DAC). | |
| British Integrated Amps OP, I too am a fan of the British sound, having in house Wharfdale, Mission and Celestion speakers. Current main system uses Jade 3's. Having been a Harmon Kardon amp user for years I recently bought a Cambridge CXA81. A very good value for the... | |

| hardware choice I forgot to mention that the NAD C658 BlueOS includes an integrated implementation of Dirac Live! | |
| Acoustic treatment To update everyone on this thread, I went over the SVS sub set up, lowered the crossover frequency and played a lot with the phase setting. Incorrect sub setup was the cause of most of the mid-range resonance. I did order some IsoAcoustic pucks t... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a compliant footer? | |
| Acoustic treatment I have a thick oriental carpet on the floor. Following geof3's recommendation, I put my tube traps at the side first reflection points with the foil half toward the speakers, thus acting as a diffuser for mid and higher frequencies. It definitel... | |
| What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time? My idea of a slow dance may be a bit different that other Agon members, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. My wife and I are serious amateur ballroom dancers and for us a 'slow dance' is a slow foxtrot. One of my favorites is Peggy Lee's "Fever."... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I'd like to suggest a more systematic approach to answer your question, because the direct response is, indeed, "it depends." As someone wrote early in this thread, the answer to your question is not independent of your current audio system (comp... | |
| used speaker recommendations I thought I would let everyone on this thread know that I picked up a pair of Jade 3s and am very pleased with them. At some point I will audition the Harbeth P3ESRs, but the Jade 3s are just fine for now. Thanks very much for all the comments a... | |
| used speaker recommendations Ah, I was wondering. I have old Harmon Kardon Signature Series solid state pre and power amps that I swapped out for the new Cambridge CXA -81. I considered tube amps and hybrids, like a Rogue Sphinx, a Schiit set-up, or a Schiit pre and a Van A... | |
| used speaker recommendations I originally had the speakers only about 6" from the front wall. I moved them out so that the back of the speaker is now 14" from the wall. Distance from the side walls is 40" to the tweeter. Also turned down the gain on the sub (although the f... | |
| used speaker recommendations Verdantaudio - A very perceptive question. I have the Jade 1. What sent me down this rabbit hole is muddieness in the 200-400 HZ range, mainly with piano jazz. The issue is probably room acoustics, thus the acoustic panels and tube traps. But... | |
| used speaker recommendations The current speakers are Wharfedale Jade standmounters. For DAC I use the CXA 81. | |
| used speaker recommendations I find it very interesting to figure out at each step what the weakest link is in my stereo, and then assess the options for addressing it. I have to say that I started using the Bluesound DAC, then got a Pangea coax to bypass it and rely on the ... |
