| Small bookshelf upgrade from Sonos SL in large kitchen area Has anyone stepped up from Sonosand heard significant improvement? | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? I was about to pull the trigger on a lifetime subscription. Since the announcement of the merger, I've noticed that Roon is no longer functioning on my Sonos products. It does still work on my main system and I love its functionality and the inf... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Volti. I have Razz that replaced Harbeth 30.2s. In your price range, the Rivals are amazing. Both check all your boxes: full range, efficient and sounds great with all types of music. Love Harbeth’s liquor midrange, but they don’t rock. | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height Volti Razz. 40 inches tall. Heavy (90 pounds each), but you will never ever need a subwoofer. Big gorgeous soundstage and Greg gives you ability to tweak mid and upper frequencies. | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers I have posted this before and will do it again. I a/b’d the Bluesound Node2 against an Aurender N100 through the same DAC (at the time the Hegel 190).. I wanted to like the Aurender better because I could get a great deal. After two hours of patie... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 I haven’t read the entire post, so my thoughts might already have been touched on, but my history with Bluesound is that it performs best when hardwired and it is also dependent on a very strong signal since you’re streaming lossless. I have almo... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations I highly recommend the Volti Razz. I ordered a pair (to replace my Harbeth 30.2s and REL sub) after hearing them at the 2021 Capital Audio show. Loved my Harbeth’s but love the Volta’s more. Great soundstage, clean sound with wonderful bass. Paire... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? I was also impressed by the Audio Note's in Deja Vu's room at the Capital Audio Fest and also agree with your impressions. I thought it was the best sounding room in my price range until I went to the Volti Audio room. I listened to both the Riv... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I currently use Qobuz streaming through a Bluesound Node 2 into a Chord Qutest DAC. I switched almost two years ago from TIDAL after comparing during my Qobuz trial period and determination that Qobuz sounds better to my ears. That being said, I... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I have followed these discussions with great interest over the years in search of the best solution for me. I most recently went through integrated SS amps from Parasound and Hegel, then graduated to separates with a Prima Luna Evo 300 preamp pai... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s Funny to read your post because I just added a REL T7i to my system. While I'm still tinkering with the settings, I agree that it fills in the bottom end and enhances the sound stage. I have repeatedly read that Harbeth's are difficult to pair w... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? This is my Bluesound story. I have owned one Bluesound Node 2 for about five years and it has always been hardwired for use in my primary hi fi system. It has always worked flawlessly. When we moved downsized to an old (130 year old) townhome w... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I believe that my YBA vintage amp is solid, well built and transparent. Its power specs meet the 100 - 150 W criteria. I am still left to wonder whether a SS amp with more power paired with my PL preamp will sound better (not just louder). The... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s jjss49, I think your advice no the tubes is a good one. Where does one go to pick those up? Regarding the Hegel, your probably didn’t notice that the PL/YBA combo replaced a Hegel H190. I actually like the sound of my current set-up much better... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I hear what everyone is saying, but I’m trying to understand if the amp pairing with my PL tube preamp is more than just watts. On the Harbeth site, there are inconclusive discussions about power, gain and dynamic headroom. I’m certainly a neoph... |
