| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room captouch Good recommendations with Fritz and Revival, and I'd also throw in the Philharmonic BMR stand mounts.....beautiful speakers to look at, $2,200 per pair, and shoot WAY above their price point......check out some reviews | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing Terenthia For under $3,000 I'd recommend the Supratek Chardonnay preamp, $3,000 with chrome accents and $2,500 with black accents. Hand made in Australia, and Mick Maloney is a really smart dude......and great to talk to. That's what I would buy ... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? decooney It is a lot, and they are not cheap at $15,000; but for an all in one box and for speakers that really deliver.....the Dutch and Dutch are a really good solution. I (nor any of my audiophile friends own them), but the have really impress... | |
| Needing DAC Advice I'll be upgrading my DAC later this year, and at the top of the list will be the new Denafrips Terminator 15th. Audioman58 is the distributor, and sells them here on Agon. I very much liked the Holo Audio May DAC KTE, but the Terminator II (olde... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? KEF LS60 would work as well, if you're looking at a lower price point. Very good speakers on their own, but the Dutch and Dutch are stellar | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? I'd suggest looking at powered all in one speakers. Dutch & Dutch 8C speakers sound great to start off with, and they have built in Roon streamer, DAC, preamp, amplifiers, and DSP room correction. They accept network connection (streaming) an... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS Another "bait post", is happening a LOT on Agon lately. Starts 5 threads on the same subject, and the abandons the thread | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out Whiteknee Which Volti speakers did you end up with? Greg's Lucera and Rival will be in the running for my next speaker, sometime in late 2025. I've got a friend with his Razz, and another with his Luceras......both LOVE them, and I am happy when ... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? terry9 Thank you for posting that, I had the chart but not the article; I do not want to hijack the OPs thread. My biggest problem is that I have a fixed ceiling height at 8', the room is in my basement, and that's not changing.....so going into ... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out hilde45 Add me to the Aric Audio (Aric Kimball) fan club, as I own his Motherlode XL preamp and his Transcend "Push Pull" EL34 amp.....and that is an example of what I've learned from these threads. If I ever get to a "low powered amp", it'll be ... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I believe this very subject is the purpose of Princeton's Bacch projects, which have been commercialized by Theoretica. I am only just starting to look into this (and maybe it comes to nothing), but will be spending a lot of time researching Bacch... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out hilde45 Not specific to Fritz or Quicksilver because I don't own either, but more about learning about brands I had never heard of before.....some of which I own. When these threads don't spin into pissing contests, they are actually filled with ... | |

| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? If you're leaning Class D, Ralph's Atma-Sphere Class D mono-blocks should be looked into | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? CODA for class A solid state, best solid state I've ever heard. I have a CODA S5.5 which is high current 50wpc Class A (more in A/B)....and is brilliant with a tube preamp (I'm running an Aric Audio Motherlode XL) |
