| Need to downsize my system In terms of European brands, the Mola Mola Kula garners incredible reviews: it can come with the Tambaqui DAC and class D amplification. No one has mentioned that yet in this thread: any thoughts on this and given that this is ~4 years old, is it... | |
| Need to downsize my system Wow, thank you all so much for the recommendations for speakers, components, and shows. The actual search will start late summer when I move and so I'll report back then. In the meanwhile I'll also hear some of the recommended components/speaker... | |
| Need to downsize my system Unfortunately headphones give me headaches... I've tried many. | |
| Will Sonus Faber Serafino G2 be too much speaker for my space? I have the Serafino in a small space, smaller than yours: about 12ft by 13ft, but with a high (15 feet) vaulted ceiling. They sound awesome. If you are in the San Francisco bay area, you can come over to listen. | |
| How hot does the Ayre EX-8 2.0 Integrated Amplifier get? I have one fav blowing across the back of the amp since I find that the right-back gets the warmest and I have it on 24/7... The fan is very low noise and very little power consumption so turning it on and off is not worth it to me | |
| Sonus vs fr5 If your SF speaker is sounding bright...it is not the speaker's fault. I have owned 4 separate SF models (still own two pairs) using Ayre, Parasound, and Luxman amplification. I have heard additional models at the dealer. They have never been b... | |
| How hot does the Ayre EX-8 2.0 Integrated Amplifier get? I'm using the AC Infinity Multifan S4. Very quiet and has been working 24/7 for ~5 years. | |
| Shipping system to UK Thanks for the response freediver. Ayre would convert my amplifier to the UK voltage and once it is there I'll leave it there. So you know how the price basis for the vat will be determined? | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? What do you do when you visit a friend? Tell them that their home is lovely or the food is delicious? Or do you tell them that you have better leftovers in your fridge or your mansion is better than their home? This is a question of basic decen... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Have you tried a test cd with signal sweeps? That would help understand what frequencies are missing and you can do some calculations with your room dimensions to see if room interactions could be the cause. | |
| Looking for advice - Mola Mola Kaluga amp has no output Glad that you have your amps back and the long wait must have sucked! Did Ampex indicate what was the problem and what was the likely cause? | |
| Help, my system seem to have slowly gotten " bright" Since one of your speaker pair sounds good, you have a good setup for debugging this. My recommendation is to try the different frequency sweep (you can easily find this on Tidal/Qobuz/etc.) and for each frequency write down spl at your listening... | |
| Not sure what to think The OP's speakers are ~40 years old so that may be why you are not hearing any difference. Perhaps you could take your preamp to the dealer and A/B in the awesome sounding system there. | |
| Looking for advice - Mola Mola Kaluga amp has no output Good luck @musicmatters1206 . I am still puzzled how two monoblocks died at the same time with the same symptoms...it cannot be a fluke and it must mean that something feeding into the monoblocks must be responsible; could be the powerplant or th... | |
| For those familiar with Sonus Faber I upgraded from Olympica II to Serrafino Tradition. I also auditioned Nova III. I loved my Olympica II and there was a modest improvement in going to Nova III (primarily deeper bass) but a large improvement from Nova III to Serrafino Tradition: ... |
