| Dynaudio customer service ignoring me I wrote Sonus Faber inquiring about the availability of some parts, now and in the future (as their policy) and was referred to the local dealer. I did this because I was contemplating a 15000 euro purchase and I needed some reassurance. I was ver... | |
| Speakers for string Quartets It's funny because I do have an answer... sort of. First of all, it goes without saying that the other components beside speakers are of paramount importance too. I haven't been exposed to lots and lots of audio gear, but of those I've heard the b... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? +1 Spendors (Classic series) | |
| DDC like Aurender UC-100C tonally but with better detail? So no one heard the Aurender? It's basically absent from the audio forums, I wonder why since the Aurender streamers are quite popular... Ok, scratch that, what other DCC could offer me the above-mentioned traits of "fullness to the sound, especia... | |
| Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X @denon1 : I see you are not excited by the DP 560 / 570. The 560 is "nothing special" compared to what? What is it more exactly that you didn't like about these models (maybe also what you liked, if anything)? I'm asking because I have a DP 550 th... | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? Qobuz has both high rez. and CD rez. files and I can distinguish the higher resolution ones as richer and more 3D sounding, smoother and more colorful. I find the difference significant, by far less important as the actual mastering. On the other... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Quoting myself from a few other threads: Between my SP2/3R2 and my Harbeth M30.2 (now sold) I prefer the former. Warmer, more exuberant, joyful or friendly I would say, with better lit mids, nice highs, bigger sound and in most cases I prefer ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide curious how do you find the bass once the speakers are broken in, please share your impressions | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide The Sonus Faber’s I’ve heard were driven by Accuphase amps, for what it’s worth. Pricey, I know... It depends a lot not only on the budget and synergy, but also on your priorities in terms of sound. For example, I value tone and timbre very highly... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Please report your impressions on the V's after you get them (and after the burn in). I don't know about the newer Amati speakers, but I can tell you there is a huge difference in scale between the Amati Futura and the Nova II. Nova V might be a ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide I've heard both the Amati Futura and the Olympica Nova 2. The former was the most astonishing audio experience I've had, beyond marvelous, but the electronics were a lot of money too (like 35000 - 40000 Euro retail in total). I mean no offense, bu... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review I have a pair of Martin Logan 11A. I might be in a minority here but I didn't like what the ARC room correction did to the dynamics or overall tonal balance: bass became much too rounded, with an almost nonexistant leading edge or tactility and ge... | |
| Martin Logan Expression 13 - setup question I also have a pair of Impression 11A's in a 12/14 feet room connected to another small 12 / 3 feet space. The speakers are placed on the long wall and the back driver is about 20 cm (8 inches) away from wall. Absorption on this wall is crucial, no... | |
| Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2 Thank you both, very useful to me. So, SP100R2 won't bring additional bass slam, just extension, right? I've heard the Classic 100 but I think the positioning in the room was unfortunate or maybe it was simply a bad room as the bass extension suff... | |
| Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2 How about a comparison to their lesser siblings? I hope this will not feel like derailing the thread. I'm thinking about upgrading from the SP2/3R2, which I love, to the SP100R2, but I couldn't find a single comparison between them. Should I expec... |
