| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Given the general stagnation of speaker design (there are exceptions) you could only really expect the Dyns to be different, not necessarily better. A high percentage of modern speaker designs incorporate a (somewhat) tilted up mid-high end, perh... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Dutch & Dutch seem very appealing--active done right. For people who don't want to mess around and for people trying to reduce boxes/clutter, clearly the way to go. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed @jeffinnh76 There are significant differences between the .1 and the .2/.3. The crossover in the 40.2 was changed to make it more living-room friendly. The 40.1 could boom in too small rooms or when not carefully positioned. The differences be... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT @karmapolice The 40.2's were my get-off-the-merry-go-round speakers. You may regret this. | |
| Which speakers to be ''in'' the music? Once again mostly just a top-ten list of individuals’ preferred speakers. | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Acrolink/Acrotec is widely underappreciated.I have Acrolink IC's from long ago, and try as I might, I've never found another brand or model that sounds better than themSadly never had one of their PCs.It's a pity the brand isn't more widely availa... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Yes, please compare with your MC462. | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? So that makes 2 1/2 audio geniuses, and the rest of us mere mortals.That feeling of relief is the absolute best gauge of having done the right thing. You can try to argue yourself into liking/keeping something, but if your gut is telling you othe... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) If you think about all the material and mechanical elements that go into the construction of speaker drivers, it's clear that speakers will need a break-in period (just as car engines used to do). On the other hand, it's true that whatever change... | |
| Which speakers to be ''in'' the music? You definitely need to listen to at least one brand of omnidirectional loudspeaker, to discover if this is, generally speaking, the kind of effect that you are looking for. | |
| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? @mijostyn My understanding is that ZOTL's are significantly different to OTL's. LTA profusely acknowledges their debt to and connection with David Berning. The ZOTL40 can be bridged to 80W. | |
| Amp for Kef reference 1 -Ayre Acoustics AX-5 0 Match? You might try having a telephone conversation with these people, who are obviously into Coda in a serious way.https://destinationhifi.com/collections/coda-technologies | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT Given that you have the 40.2's, the only rational way to approach this is to wait until you give the Vandies an audition, ideally in your own house, or at least a couple of lengthy auditions well set up in a store. They're both excellent speakers... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados From his latest (?) CD.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSpecebMdeo | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? Yes. 10W sounds exactly right for the '400 model.Coda is an interesting company in that it has models with different flavors, i.e. with different levels of class A operation. Unfortunately this isn't a switch on the face plate; you choose which ... |
