| Pass XA 25 and Goldenear Triton Reference I think you would be Ok, but man if you could swing the INT-60, you might be in heaven. That 60 has a ton of juice, and with the powered woofers… could be an outstanding combo. | |
| what headphones work for sports and activities? I’m actually a big fan of the Bose sound sport wireless when exercising. Great support also. I use the ones with a wire between them in a bright color in case of a crash when mountain biking. Makes them easier to find and I can pull one out to tal... | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY All part of the uniqueness that is OHM Acoustics. John and Evan are quite possibly the most type "B" business owners and managers that I've encountered. They can be a bit slow, very laid back and they don't always sweat the details. Flip si... | |
| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? I don't often like Paradigm, or agree with @audiotroy. But I've demo'd the 100's a couple times now. Easily the most impressed I've been with a Paradigm speaker in years, maybe ever. Not perfect, but even the bass from those triple 7's - damn g... | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X @jeffreyw Just curious where you feel the build quality differences are between the 462 and the Luxman gear. Mc462 is an extremely powerful, and contrary to others beliefs, neutral amp. I find it more neutral than my previous Pass Labs. It... | |
| How to tell McIntosh MC452 and MC462 difference Well, the unscrupulous people would have to go to the trouble to replace the glass on the front, since the model number is right on the front below McIntosh. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I’ll let Mike Campbell speak for me on this. | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck Legacy Focus SE JBL M2’s Tekton Ohm 5000’s, or their F5’s (or the predecessors to the F5’s) | |
| I need your opinions on a McIntosh Amp I have a 462, it’s a great amp. I had a pass 250.8 prior. Both are excellent. I think the 462 is actually just a shade more neutral, which surprised me. It’s neutral, and very powerful. If it matters to you, it also measures quite well. I ... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Use your ears... Want better or different sound? Spend the extra money on better speakers, room treatments, make sure you have plenty of power, or play with your DAC / Pre-amp, get a subwoofer etc. Computer has one job. Deliver bit perfect data.... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Your conclusion makes sense to me. Sever has one job, deliver bit-perfect data to your DAC. Use your ears. | |
| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? @b_limo Not sure if or why it matters, but Jim has his wife and a couple of other employees. That’s it. Company would be a stretch. Very very small business. Cabinets all in house from the cutting to the veneer and finish. | |
| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? @b_limo Jim builds everything in house. Been there several times. | |
| Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model? As a Salk owner. I’m not interested, save possibly for something like the Exotica with the twin powered subs. But with a bit snappier top end. I’d like to see Jim build a new flagship like the SS12 (my current speaker), before a a high sensitiv... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. Easy answer for me. Try to find (or talk Jon) into building a set of the Ohm Walsh SSC4900's. Very light due to the tubes, HUGE full range sound. Or find some old sound cylinders and send them in for an upgrade. Crazy full rage sound if set-... |
