Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion.
The CR-1 is also a noteworthy device that can help you achieve a near perfect balance between your subs and speakers. I won't buy JL subs ever again though.  For the price they charge, you should have a much longer lasting product.  I too have had... 
Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's
I was thinking it might belong there as well.  I guess I truly am an asshole, shitting up the order.  
Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier
RP-7 is dead quiet, I can attest.  
Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's
This is why I'm asking.  I appreciate the insights.  The last time I had a "record player" was in 9th grade and it was a POS Emerson that probably cost 40 bucks at the time. That is the extent of my experience. Of course I'd rather blow 1K than 5... 
Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's
I should have been more clear.  My apologies.I'd probably like to match the DAC I have now, as I do like my systems sound overall currently.  I could probably spend 5-6K if I could get to that level if that's what it took.  
Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier
I auditioned the BHK, but did not buy it.  I was mainly interested in the PS Audio trade in discounts, but that wasn't enough to seal the deal after hearing it in my space. It was good, but it seemed to make my system sound a bit brighter than I e... 
Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics)
You can easily do what you need to do for 5K. I agree with all the Triton call outs as that'll save you from getting a sub. I'm a deadhead, but my neighbor is all 90's/00's hard/metal and he has the Triton 1's and his setup sounds killer.  He has ... 
Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference?
Chassis dimensions are identical for both, but that makes sense as they mention their "award winning RP-X hardware and software platform", which indicates to my mind that they are using the same base to work off of. 
peachtree amp vs. traditional amp
I also have a Nova 300, and it is a great amp (especially when you consider the cost factor).  It doesn't sound sterile, it can really crank if you need it to, and has lots of bells and whistles if you need an integrated solution.  This said, I ha... 
Triode Lab 2A3S - Any Insights?
Thanks for the input.  I really like the sizing for my shelf I have available.  If the sound is excellent, then that's just icing on the cake.  I figure with the Heresy's I should have enough volume to be happy with that low of an output.  
Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube)
Look at the Peachtree Nova300.  I have one and it is a quality sounding amp for the money.  My room is approximately the same size, and I can easily go into volumes that are far too loud to enjoy with no distortion.  My main use is feeding a bunch... 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
That’s a 54" tall speaker, which won’t work in my setup. I am very curious about the Magico A3. That speaker would fit well in my current alignment. Numbers look great on it, other than the cost (top of my budget, and since it is new, I will not f... 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
Someone did mention the port design in an earlier post.  Thanks for all the suggestions fellas.  Lots to think about/try to audition here. 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
I agree. I’m not in this for the fashion side, but it is playing a secondary role in terms of considerations. It certainly helps to have something you can live with in terms of looks.  I'm pretty sure my wife will not allow me to bring home a set ... 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
How about Salk Soundscape 8?  That seems like a solid speaker that hits all my requirements.  No love for this speaker?
