| Priorities MC is a fiction of his own imagination. Not everyone can manage that.And oh yes, the malleus, incus, stapes, cochlea, etc. etc. are utterly irrelevant. | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? These Kimber SCs exhibit high or very high capacitance, which cannot be recommended. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Here's a real revelation for me. Mendelssohn, complete piano music, played by Howard Shelley, on Hyperion. The playing is excellent, the recording is superb (the piano is in my room), and the music has come as a most pleasant surprise. I starte... | |
| Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed Take a look at Audio Note. Designed for Japanese- and British-sized rooms. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) @mathiasmingus I heard the Contour 60's at Command Performance in Washington DC. No reason to believe the -i iteration is massively different. It conforms to my model of the "modern" loudspeaker sound. Thankfully, there are still a few brands ... | |
| Opportunity You can do better. | |

| Trying to get Sound Stage with Klipsch Tower Speakers It's not you, it's them. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Your ears aren't deceiving you. In their last two or three generations/iterations, Dynaudio has gone the way of all too many speaker manufacturers, creating exactly the kind of tilted up sound that impresses in the showroom and wears on the liste... | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? This doesn't sound like a great combination. Did the dealer sell you the Kimber? Or is it left over from a previous iteration of your system? What are you trying to achieve? I would expect that triple combo to be on the forward/tilted up side ... | |
| Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed If you like one-dimensional soundstages.... | |
| And a happy Festivus to all! Use Helmholtz resonators as Christmas tree decorations. Two birds with one stone. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? OK, so the upshot of all this is a balanced approach. It's counterproductive to split your funds, say, 20/80, favoring either component. Evidently, both can have a major impact on sound. Pre-amps can often cost a little less than power amps, pa... |
